50th Birthday Card

Hello Everyone, hope your week is going well. I was determined tonight to sit up and make a 50th birthday card I had to get done and to help me out I ran with Inkspirations Sketch Challenge # 18 layout and the colours from Welcome to Colour Create Challenge 38 which had a colour group I absolutely love...red, white, chocolate and pink with the optional extra of silver and hearts which I think I have managed to incorporate. Sorry, the photo isn't the best so I might try and take another in the morning.

And here is a picture I've now added taken outside, not that it is much better :)

Makeesha's Inspiration Challenge #10 and Kellie's Sketch Challenge #1

Hello. I've had a few rotten days lately, culminating with my 18 month old son chipping his tooth yesterday arvo. I was so upset but the dentist can't do anything. I just hope it doesn't turn black. Anyway, I needed to chill out tonight so I grabbed out some stamping stuff and created a card combining two of my favourite crafters challenges they have going at the moment. Keesh has provided this picture for inspiration and Kellie has given us a sketch. This is Kellie's first blog sketch challenge and it was a tricky one. Kellie's deadline is tonight, so I apologise for the pic taken at night. So here is the inspiration photo and the sketch.

And here is my card. Did I get away with using Creamy Caramel for the hair which is similar to the cupboard in the background of the pic, lol. I'll try and add in my supplies later. Thanks for looking.

I think this card could also qualify me for the current Colour Create challenge too.

Colour Create Week 15 Challenge

So much for the saying Blue and Green should never be seen. I stumbled onto the Welcome to Colour Create blog which has a colour challenge going at the moment, to create a card using blue and green and to add some paper piercing if desired. It just happened to be that I was in the process of making a card for a friend for a 60th birthday. This card was started a week ago but just needed assembling, so here it is. This is also the first time I have tried the faux silk technique which you can find the instructions for here.
