My First Easel Card!

Hi there! Wow, I can't believe how nice the weather has been recently, perfect for half-term! Although, I wasn't so thrilled to be woken up by builders hammering and drilling on a house across the road from me at eight o'clock this morning! ;)

Today is the start of Challenge 9 of the Crafty Calendar Challenge, and the theme this month is 'Bugs and Beasties'. It sounds really tricky, but the possibilities are endless - you could make a pretty girly card or an insect card for a male.

I can't believe I've never tried it before, but this is my first easel card that I have made for my Design Team card. I always imagined it being really tricky to do, but I was surprised when I realised they're actually really simple and I love the effect it makes!





















Materials:
Image: I can never remember what brand they are, even though I've been told so many times! :)
Sentiment: Studio G
Papers: Basic Grey - Green At Heart
Flowers: From My Stash
Jute Ribbon: Bunny-Zoe's Crafts
Colouring: Pro Markers
Embellishments: From My Stash
Glitter: Stickles

Well, thanks so much for looking and enjoy the rest of the week and the weekend. Enjoy the rest of Britain's Got Talent, if you're watching it - so far, Spellbound are my favourites! :)

Love, Georgia xx

To qualify for the grand prize, which is either a Sizzix Big Shot machine or a $50 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp (wow!), you have to enter the challenge and collect a mystery letter from each DT member's blog and unscramble them to make a word, how great is that?! :)

Here is my entry for the recipe challenge:
You have to use three types of embellishment (flowers, pearls and buttons), two papers and one image.

Fern's Birthday Card

Hello! Just a very quick post tonight to show you this card I made for my blogging friend, Fern, who turned twelve on Friday!

I cut the flowers out of paper from the same range as the backing paper.

I've decided to enter it into this week's Creative Inspirations Challenge - looks like I'm just in time! :) The theme over there is to use something new! I've used a new stamp from a set that I absolutely love that my mum treated me to when she went to the NEC last time. Thanks so much Mum, I love these stamps! I have also used some new papers, which my mum also bought me from the NEC - they're sooo pretty! :)

I can't remember who the image is by because I've thrown away the packet. The sentiment is made by the same company as the image. The colouring was done with Pro Markers, the papers are Dovecraft, as well as the flowers, the little flower centres, dew drops and glitter are from my stash.

Thanks for looking, and have a lovely week! Uh-oh, looks like there's more snow forecast on Wednesday - it's never-ending, lol! :D

Love, Georgia xx

P.S. Thanks for all the candy entries so far, good luck!
