Monday Mayhem

I will have to make this a quickie as it's 1.35 am and I'm soooo tired and I wanted to do 3 cards in my 365 Cards catch up but only managed 2
The 2 I did are for
Day 233 - Favourite fabric

 

I don't have any favourite fabric or furnishing, I live very frugally. I do have this amazing huge painting on my wall though, it is about 6ft x 2.5 ft and is acrylic on canvas. I love it.
I managed to find some freebie downloaded paper which sort of reminds me of it.

Still on the Blue Christmas here. A Hard sketch I thought, and didn't do it as much justice as some of the girls,

Lilac & Blue Flower Power

I haven't made a card for a challenge for a couple of days :-O so It's good when blogs are kind enough to let you combine.
So here is my take on the theme 'Lilac & Blue' over at Colour Create wk 9 with an optional extra of swirls and ribbon and a lovely sketch at Truly Scrumptious entitled Flower Power.
The ovals I cut in my 'Bug' using the scalloped ovals Large - the 2 outer ones being 1 size smaller than the main. On this I mounted the fabulous Tilda image which was coloured with watercolour pencils and the wings glittered with Stickles 'Icicle'.
The piece of lilac card across the centre was cut using my new Fiskars Scalloped border punch which is super. No more mis-cuts using the scissors.
I added a bit of bling to the sentiment by putting flat-backed pearls in place of the dots on the i's
Ingredients:-
Card - Lilac Stardream, blue Bazzill
Paper - free download from DoCrafts
Flowers - Prima, the blue ones being 'Larkspur'
Sentiment - printed off using Word
Image, Ribbon, Brads and flat-backed pearls from my stash

January Challenge

First challenge of the year on the forum was 'LOVE', with St Valentine's Day not far away I daresay, but as that holds no interest for me I entered this to be used as an anniversary card for a family member. Made joint 3rd place which really pleased me.
The image was from a sheet of Blue Cardigan vintage images. The papers were K & Co and the Love sticker was from a sheet of Pebbles Real Life Bits and Pieces, buttons, ribbon and lace from my stash.
