Happy New Year!!
It's challenge #12 over at Crafty Cardmakers and we have been challenged to use new items that we perhaps got for Christmas, or just new in general.
I have used my new Sizzix scalloped die to cut the base sheets of card and linked them all together using eyelets and jump rings.The papers I used are mainly from a pack called Bloom & Grow from My Minds Eye. I found myself succumbing to this gorgeous pack of papers whilst shopping on Saturday! (this is despite telling myself not to buy any more papers a I have loads already)
I have embellished the pages using chipboard numbers from Poundland which I coloured in black. The butterflies, scalloped circles and journalling tag on the last page are from a freebie pack of papers from a magazine as the colours all matched so well. The rest of the flowers and leaves were cut from the MME paper pack and have been mounted using 3D foam squares.I have covered the leaves with Rangers Glossy Accents and added a few buttons. A couple of glittered brads, a liberal sprinkling of Stickles glitter glue and as Gordon Ramsey says DONE!
I have also been able to incorporate the following challenges into this 'card'
- 365 Cards Day 290 - Use a trio of at least 1 each of a flower, chipboard & button
- Crafty Calendar Challenge #4 - Warm colours
- Creative Card Crew #42 - Distressing
- Papertake Weekly - New Year & new items
- ABC Challenges - L is for Layering
- Creative Belli Challenge #82 - Glitter
- Flutterby Wednesday #91 - Theme of 'New'
- 3 Clovers Thursday #46 - project that represents your goals for 2010 (to create beauty and to stretch my creativity by making items I haven't done before. To get out of my crafty comfort zone)
- Cute Card Thursday #94 - Theme of New (New Year & new stash)
- Crazy 4 Challenges #18 - Polka Dots
- Our Creative Corner - 3D Item
- Practical Scrappers - Glitter/Bling
- 2 Red Bananas - Something with Curves (scalloped edges on pages)
- Pile it On - New Year
- There She Goes TSG#37 - Use at least 3 different embellishments
- Corrosive Challenge # 46 - Distressing
- Crafty Catz #14 - Bright & Sparkly
There was a fantastic response to the last challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and many fabulous entries. I look forward to visiting your blogs and seeing what new things you have been using. I hope you'll join us in the challenge.
