This is my design card for challenge 118 week 2 - please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and join in our challenge here.

For the second week of our challenge 118 I used the same digital image as last week - the lovely 'Sophie with flower' image supplied by the sponsor, Little Blue Button  - coloured with chameleon pens and die cut using an X cut parenthesis rectangular die, using a larger one for the mat  using an offcut of Hot off the Press paper. Corrugated strip and spotted ribbon from stash and the lovely organza flower with pearls in the centre.

Leather and lace

I was invited by the lovely Anne Lise to join her as a guest - you can read more about this here.

I used the lovely 'leather and lace' image supplied by Delicious Doodles, colouring with chameleon pens and mounting on to a piece of embossed paper that was originally gold and I swiped it with a red pen, hence it has a  nice shimmer to it. This was then mounted on to a piece of faux crocodile leather paper. The paper on the right hand side is Black market paper society ebony & alabaster Breakfast at Tiffany's. All papers were from my offcuts box. I used a panel of faux embossed leather with a silver sheen - this is almost like a thick material - it's the last piece of some that I bought years ago at Ally Pally. This seemed just the right sort of card to use it for. the lace on the left hand side is a rub on with some Deco Time pearls added and also on to parts of the image.

Please click on the link to see the rest of the designs from team B and click here to join in the challenge and see the lovely crafting of team A as well, if you haven't done so already.

The background paper of my card is from a booklet of The country diary of an Edwardian lady papers with a piece of purple Hot off the press paper matted on to it. The oval die cuts were some I recently recently as a prize. I used some snippet pieces of lace across the middle, although I didn't have enough to go all the way across, so careful placement of the ovals with foam pads hid the gap. The oval was stamped with one of my all time Penny Black favourites, sparklers, inked with Stazon gothic purple.

Another card for August CCAYR

This is my third design card for Christmas cards all year round August challenge, which is all about 'snowflakes'. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and we would love to see your entries.

The background is a piece of Fantastic Foils festive frolics and the topper was rescued from a card received, matting this on black mirror card. Punched snowflakes from snippets of silver mirror card were added.

This is also for:
