Anniversary Card

Good morning friends on this last day of February.

Wow, where is the year rushing to.
We once again have a new Colour challenge at The Outlawz. This week Cara has chosen the colour palette and twist.....wedding or anniversary. Do go and see the lovely cards made by the DT.



Our sponsor for the last time this month is Bugaboo Stamps and we thank them for having given us such lovely images to work with and the lovely prize for our monthly winner.

For my card I have used Flower tree





I used a brown DP from my stash and onto that I matted a piece of blue embossed cardstock

The image was cut with a diecut,,no colouring but attached pearls for the flower centres.

A brown seam binding bow and extra pearls to finish.

I used a peel-off sentiment, as I actually am needing this for a birthday, so will be able to easily remove the sentiment.


Will enter some challenges:





Crafting from the Heart  #148...Anything goes
Ooh-la-la challenge #223...Embossing..wet or dry
CAS on Sundays #102...Critters
The Ribbon Girls ...Any image

I wish you all a great day and a wonderful month as we go into March. One of my favourites as it is my birthday month.

Take care and see you all soon.

Love Ursula

Live your life in colour

Good morning and a happy Tuesday,
We have some beautiful rain all through yesterday and last night. I wish the whole country could share in this, but sadly there are still very dry conditions down in the south western part of the country, where they are badly needing rain.

This week for the Colour Challenge at The Outlawz I have chosen an inspirational photo for you.


The DT were inspired with such diverse results on their  amazing cards.  I fell in love with the gorgeous colours and the beautiful fabrics of the cushions. Join us and let's see what inspires you.


Bugaboo Stamps is our sponsor for this month with their lovely fun images.





For my card I was inspred by the fabric of the cushions and the lovely colours, I used a Bugaboo image Beautiful blocks - life in colour

For the background I used adhesive fabric paper from DCWV which I have had for a few years.

The image was coloured with Distress inkpads, and a touch of glitter was added, but it doesn't show up on the photo.

Coloured my ribbon with distress inkpads as well.

Finished off with a few small buttons.

Will enter some challenges:


Colour Inspiration Monday #13...Anything goes
Crafting from the Heart #147...Anything goes
Glitter 'N Sparkle #227...Ribbon or lace
Angies Digital Stamps #6...Anything goes
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends # 52...Anything goes

I chose the centre row down for my colours.

Embossed the background with a hearts folder

The image was coloured with Distress inkpads and cut it out with a Nellie Snellen MFD and border .

The sentiment which is part of the image I matted onto pink cardstock and raised it with silicone.

Another colour challenge

Good morning friends,

The first Tuesday of February and that means a new colour challenge at The Outlawz. Jacqui has chosen today's colour palette with colours starting with A...but those are just names and the colours are in fact 2 shades of green and a blue.

  

We have a new sponsor for this month. Bugaboo Stamps with their lovely images that they have given the DT to use.


For my card I used the image Monster 3.

The background paper is from KaiserCraft and I had a piece of Funky Hand paper from looong ago with words on it, which I thought just fitted this image.

I coloured the image with my usual Distress ink pads and cut it out with an X-cut die

The sentiment is also from a KaiserCraft paper.

Finished it off with some brads and drops.




I hope you all have a fantastic week. Take care and see you again soon.

Love Ursula
