A Card for a few Challenges!




Well it's been a long week! I have finally shifted myself to making a card today, but it's not easy to concentrate with 3 kiddoes running amok in the house, roll on Tuesday lol!

Anyway, today I have made a card for several challenges, in no particular order, they are:

Pollycraft Challenge - Pink and Brown + Green or Yellow

Totally Gorjuss - Texture

Stamptacular Challenge - Dots and Spots

Pink Elephant - 1 image = 2 dies = 3 embellisments

Pile it on - Text

Sketch Saturday

Passion for Promarkers

Flutterby Wednesday

Heart to Heart

Very briefly, (kids are getting hyper now!!) loads of layering, papers used are Papermania Regency stack and some cream pearlescent card. All stamps used are Waltzingmouse Stamps Faux Fun Circles and Very Vintage Christmas for the sentiment.


Martha Stewart butterfly punch for the embellishments in the middle of the medallion, created with Nesties Labels one and three.


Layers!!



The stamped medallion is coloured with promarkers, as are the butterflies and ribbon to match.



The two tiles in the top corners are embossed with a new butterfly folder from Cuttlebug. Inks used are chalk inks, and I have distressed around the edges of everything (very inky fingers!) and added some stickles and bling. I felt quite exhausted when I had finished!!

Think that's all!

Thanks for looking and have a great day

What a lovely blog you have, your design's are gorgeous...
In answer to your question on my blog about the MS board, I got mine from the NEC, so I think your best bet is to do a search on the net. I payed £15 for mine but I have seen some places online selling them for about £18

Hope this helps

Thanks for stopping by my blog

Love your card - just a reminder, all cards for the Heart 2 Heart Challenges must be created primarily with Close To My Heart products. But it is a lovely card (and I love Waltzingmouse).....

I am impressed that you could fit all of those challenges into one card. Very cute :)
