Just Desserts!

A little while ago I was the lucky recipient of an Elzybells gift voucher for a challenge I entered ...thanks Mary-Kate...which was very exciting as I've wanted some Elzybell stamps for ages. I quickly ordered a couple of sets from England and was very happy when they arrived in the mail! I ordered Teddy Surprise and Just Desserts and today's card features a couple of stamps from Just Desserts. I can't wait to ink up the rest of them!

Gold Christmas

This week's midweek challenge over on the OWH Stars and Stamps blog is a colour challenge to use gold on your card without using any kind of glitter products. I decided to make a Christmas card just using gold and cream. It's been a long time since I've embossed anything in gold so it was fun to dig it out and use it!

Supplies:-
Stamps - Kissmas & Mistletoe by Ippity
Versamark ink
Gina K pure luxury cardstock
Gold cardstock
Gold embossing powder
Ribbon
Foam Dots

Dream Of Magical Things!

Today's card was made for this week's "Eyelets, Ribbon, Paper, Oh My!" blog group challenge. The host for the challenge is Debra from Paper Maven Projects and she has given us a fun challenge involving movies...and the inspiration we may find from them. We may use a colour scheme, period the movie was set in, content of the movie, etc as inspiration.

I made this card for my Mum as she LOVES Cinderella...not just the movie but she collects the books too! There is a little star shaped rhinestone on the tip of the magic wand and two little rhinestones on the flowers at the top of the straps. I used glitter on the wand trail and also on the dress. Unfortunately, the sparkles don't show up very well in the photograph but it really is a sparkly card!

Supplies:-
Stamps - SU Blooming With Happiness, Unity KOTM November 2009 and Birds by Inkadinkadoo
PTI white cardstock
Brilliance ink
Bazzil textured cardstock
