Anne's Challenge...Clean and Simple..

This is my card for Anne's challenge...clean and simple.

At last I have caught up.

I used my Cuttlebug Universal embossing folder for the sentiment.

The layering is cut from a Spellbinders Nesties Die...

And to finish I used a Sizzex die to cut out the corners.

Lorraine's Challenge...Use a sentiment as the main feature.

For this card I stamped an image using brick red distress ink.

I layered it then cut out the corners with a punch then added some gems.

The corner flower is made out of Craftwork cards Candi dots.

These I learnt to make at the lincoln show I went to recently.

Zoe's Challenge..Including an Aperture.

Well here is Zoe's Challenge.including an aperture.

You may well ask why there is two cards .

Well I started the parchment card then made the bauble card in the mean time .

It seemed a shame not to finish the parchment card so I finished it and decided to show both cards.

Sorry about not been able to enlarge all the images, if anyone knows how to do that please advise me.

Clare's Challenge. Anything but a Card.

Well Clare sorry about the delay. Hope you think it is worth the wait.

The main is made from parchment.

I had trouble getting a candle so I improvised and made my own, I had to adjust the pattern as the candle is supposed to be the same width all the way up.

The red parts are ribbon with decorated parchment flowers and gold star peel offs on the star shapes.
