Black and White

With the Just Add Ink team setting a colour challenge of black and white, I decided that they would be ideal colours for a birthday card for a friend. Having no real idea what I was going to do, I sat down with a piece of white card and a piece of black card and came with with a card rather quickly. I utilised one of the Big Shot embossing folders and the torn frame technique that my upline Sharnee demonstrated at the Stampin' Up Convention in May. I am quite happy with the end product. Some time it is good to go back to basics!

Embellish Challenge

I had a birthday card to make for a very special friend and the colours for this Embellish Challenge reminded me of her.




Here is my card:









Again I have utilised some of the techniques from Convention, even some by Shelli herself!

Just Add Ink Colour Challenge

With my Grandma's Birthday coming up I needed to make her a card and decided to utilise the colours from this weeks Just Add Ink Colour Challenge. The colours are:



Here is my card:






I was able to utilise a few techniques that we saw demonstrated at the Stampin Up Convention, including tying the perfect bow and bleaching.

Alice turns 2!

Our lovely God Daughter, Alice recently turned 2 and of course there was a celebration in honour of this event. I thought I would utilise the Inkspirations Colour Challenge as an inspiration for the card for little Alice. Here are the colours:



Here is the card I made, I used a technique that was shown at the Stampin Up Convention, double cut butterfly by the lovely Kirsty (hopefully there will be more about convention later).



Kirsty also showed us a gorgeous butterfly banner, which I just had to make for Alice.






Of course there was cake to be had and then fun on her present from her mum, a trampoline. Needless to say Alice was exhausted after all that birthday fun and I am told she was that tired, she took herself off for a nap!
