Bit of a catch-up



I was soooo tired over the weekend with getting up at 5 on Sat & Sun to watch F1 and also having a geriatric cat that walks all over my face in the early hours because he's confused and thinks he needs food, I've only managed one card over the whole 2 days.
So here is one card done today to cover several challenges and I will be uploading another when it's completed.
This card is for challenges :-
365 Cards Day 218 - Super Sketchy Sunday
ABC - Embossing
Roses On Paper 22 - Any sketch + Orange, Brown & Green Plus image from list. I have chosen Magnolia
This is how the card should have been for the Roses On Paper Challenge...my apologies for forgetting the image...more haste, less speed and all that!


Papers are from Basic Grey pads, 'June Bug' and Indian Summer'
Ribbon is American Crafts
I used my 'Bug' to emboss the Bazzill with 'Swiss Dots' and 'Swirls' folders
The tag is saved from a bunch of incense sticks
Leaf embellishment from my stash

Flight of Fancy


I was using my new(to me) owl stamp from Magnolia Tilda and remembered there was a challenge somewhere for wings so hope I've made the deadline for Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge 'Flights of Fancy'.
I stamped the owl on a little piece of Basic Grey then coloured the eyes in with a white liner pen.
The branch stamp and seperate leave are all misc. in my drawer and I used several shades of Adirondack to stamp them up.
The heart sentiment is a download from Pink Petticoat.
Ribbon and butterfly charm from my stash.

Favourite Things




This card, last for today, covers 2 challenges.
Papertake Weekly Challenge - My Favourite Things
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - given sketch

The sketch by Jane was lovely and made a good base to fill the card with some of my favourite things being :-
Rubber stamps I have too many to think about and have grown to love these Magnolia Tilda, took a while to come to terms with no mouth. The lovely little PSX Pixie stamps which I have all 4 sets of are great little sentiments.
Versafine Black Onyx ink pad.
Basic Grey Papers, these being LilyKate and Urban Prairie
Pearls, gems and card candy love them all
Ribbon - this is a piece of real silk by Anna Griffin
Bazzill Card - you can't get any better in my opinion
Pink & Green - I love this colour combo and even though I keep venturing out into the big wide world of colour I come back to the delicate colours of an apple blossom tree.
So those apart from my cats are among my favourite things.

Lovin' Lavender


Well this is the 2nd try at a card for this challenge over at 365 Cards Day 114.
Having problems scanning my cards...doh!!
The shadows on the card are caused by the buttons so the scanner lid doesn't close fully. I haven't got a good enough camera and whatever else you need for photographing well, so please forgive.
Ingredients used :-
Card - Bazzill
Flower - Magnolia Tilda's flowers
Ink Pad - Colorbox chalk 'Queue'
Ribbons, flat backed gems, rub-on sentiment, buttons and thread from my stash
I drew the box with my white lining pen.
