Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper July challenge

I made two cards for my Patterned Paper July challenge (if you haven't discovered this yet, please click on the link ... and you will also see the lovely creations of my new DT).

I used Kaisercraft confetti papers using two pieces to cut out the swirls and birds (interchanging the pieces) and others for the backgrounds.

The die cuts were created with the lovely Brenda Walton Bird Scroll BigZ by Sizzix (I confess I bought this at a bargain price quite a while ago and this is the first time I've used it). The sentiments were computer generated and printed on to other pieces of the Kaisercraft paper.

CHNC challenge extra for July

Another month begins and that means a new CHNC challenge extra. It seems incredible that we are now into the second half of 2015 and in many ways it feels as if it's only just started - it's true that the older you get, the quicker it seems to go.

Anyway, here is my card for CHNC challenge extra for July, using AKV Christmas - girl tree by Bugaboo Stamps, sponsor of the challenge. This was coloured digitally in Microsoft paint.

Papers are random pieces of offcuts, with just the addition of a couple of poinsettias from Hobbycraft.

This is also for:

Thank you

This is my design card for Fan-tastic Tuesday challenge 92: anything goes with a twist ... thank you card. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and join in our challenge.

I used Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet 'just a rose' image (they are the sponsors of the challenge), colouring with Chameloen pens with a computer generated sentiment - keeping this as a CAS one layer card.

As usual, difficult getting picture of a card with a lot of white space.
