This is my design card for Love to craft challenge 14 for September: anything goes - please click on the link to see the lovely crafting of the rest of the team and to enter our challenge.

This was a commissioned card using a piece of Downton Abbey background paper (unfortunately, the light on the photo has obliterated the pattern on the right hand side ... but it was there - lol! I used offcut pieces of toning Downton Abbey papers and foiled the letterpress on to the snippet of pink shiny paper using my Todo. The flowers were from Hobby House.

Do-al(l) kreatives challenge 9 for September

This is my design card for Do-al(l) kreatives challenge 9: the beginning of autumn. Please click on the link to see the wonderful designs of the team and we hope you will join in with your entries.

I used the lovely Bugaboo Stamps fall fence image, kindly given as sponsor of the challenge. I coloured with spectrum noir pens and cut out with X cut rectangular parenthesis die, brushing lightly with distress ink before releasing from the die and mounting with foam pads to give a bit of dimension. The spotty paper is from my offcuts box, with the addition of pieces of corrugated card strips - the bottom piece wasn't long enough, but the gap is hidden by the raised up sentiment oval.
