New challenge over at Sarah Hurley 365.

And this time the theme has been chosen by the lovely Claire N, and it is All Embellishments Just One Shape. What a great theme, I of course had to pick stars for mine.

I used some gorgeous navy blue starry paper from one of Sarah's  A Few of My Favourite Things kit as my background. I made a postcard using the Christmas Mail Stamps, I am really loving this set and use the postcard quite a lot as it is so versatile. I masked the bottom left hand side of it and stamped the gorgeous Wish Upon a Star set, and coloured her in with Promarkers and Flexmarkers to match the papers. 

The sentiment comes from Star Stamps, and I heat embossed it using silver embossing powder. To add a few stars to it, I scattered some silver sequin stars on the backing paper and one on the front of Twinkles dress. I distressed the edges of the postcard using some Memento ink.

I popped some pleated ribbon on and put the postcard onto some 3mm 3D foam to give the card some dimension.

Pink Sparkles.

Hello, it's time for a new challenge over at Sarah Hurley Challenges and the theme this month is "Pink Sparkles".

I decided to make a card that could be used for a new baby or just for someone who likes pink, sparkles, elephants and stars.  I used the Elephant Tinchie and distressed it with Memento ink, them popped her onto a sparkly star die cut.  I made the awesome chevrons using Borders, Banners and Corners stamp set, I used a pink Memento ink pad, then used the second generation ink to create the shadow chevron, it is the first time I have done this and I love it.  The pink stamped corners from the set too, they are so versatile.  The sentiment comes from the Wish Upon A Star stamp set.  I distressed around the card too, you can never have too much pink ;-)

Todays hop is all about the launch of Sarah's brand new website.

I used the papers from the kit to create bunting with dies and put that onto bakers twine to create a line of bunting.  I die cut two pretty birdies from the papers and popped them ontop of the bunting.  I die cute the love using papers from the kit too.

I took lots of different shots to show the dimension that I have created on the card.

You may have noticed some very pretty crochet flowers and pegs in my pictures and these are also available from Sarah and are part of the "A Few of My Favourite Things" monthly kit.

I also had to pop on some of my favourite items from the store which is of course these delicious chipboard stars.  I have used gilding flakes on these ones, but the options are endless.
