Crafting for all Seasons #16 White on White

The bi weekly challenge over at Crafting for all Seasons is White on White for which I have made two cards as we have two sponsors.

My first card uses one of the images from Whoopsi Daisy and Linnie is offering a prize of 2 sheets of her images and each sheet has four images that's 8 images in total!

This is such a cute image from Whoopsi Daisy and the sentiment which was a freebie from Dee Designs is so appropriate to the image. The backing card was dry embossed with a musical notes embossing folder. I stamped a music score on vellum and embossed with white embossing powder and I made the flowers using ribbon and lace. The finishing touches were lace, a flourish, die cut leaves, stick pins and pearls.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

My second card is using an image from Some Odd Girl and they are giving 3 digi images as a prize.

The image and mat were die cut and I stamped fairy lights around the mat to compliment those in the image. These were matted onto a dry embossed card, glitter card, pearlescent card and I created corners using narrow ribbon.

Anything Goes Challenge #55 Cutting Corners

The new challenge for Anything Goes is Cutting Corners (decorative/altered corners) and my fellow teamies have come up with some fab cards so do go visit the Anything Goes challenge blog to see their contributions.

I love the colour of this card, it's a gorgeous teal and I also had mirri in the same colour. The backing paper is another magazine freebie as is the
 sentiment stamp. I have used  a gorgeous Nellie Snellen stamp which was coloured with promarkers, the matting was done using spellbinders nestabilities and the corners were cut with a Marianne die all from The Craft Den. A few gems, some teal ribbon and a bit of glitter to finish off.

Whoopsi Daisy White on White Challenge.

Our  challenge this week at Whoopsi Daisy is White on White and remember to be chosen as one of our top 3 you need to use a Whoopsi Daisy image but as Linnie does have freebies everyone can still enter.

Please note that with effect from January all crafters entering our challenges must use a Whoopsi Daisy image.

Last weeks challenge and blog hop was very popular and each Daisy Diva had candy for one lucky commentator on their blog. My winner using the random thingy: 

 is........................Girl Scientist

who wins the fabulous sheet #72. Please let me have your email address so I can send you your prize. Have fun with the images.

Now back to this weeks challenge of White on White. This image is so cute.

I was a bit daunted by the white on white theme at first but I realised that by using texture and shapes this would distinguish the layers.

The base card has scalloped edges, the first mat is a pearlescent card and I have pierced all around the edge, the next mat again is pearlescent card which I have embossed with an embossing folder. The gorgeous image was coloured with my promarkers and die cut and matted onto another die cut. The same die was used for the base of the flowers which were punched out and formed into roses and these were tipped with stckles as were the stars on the image.  Die cut rose leaves, ribbon, beads, gems and some lace were added to finish the card.

Willow Sketchie Challenge

Two posts in one day, wow I am on a roll (not). Getting all my Christmas cards done and using the challenges as impetus to get on and not leave it til Christmas Eve as per usual.

The sketch challenge from Willow Designs is a nice simple sketch so very easy to follow - and this is my entry.

The only problem using mirri card is getting the light right! The image is from Whoopsi Daisy  and I have coloured it with my much loved promarkers and the tree has some gems to imitate fairy lights. In keeping with my mission to use all the freebie papers in my stash the backing papers are again from a magazine.

I love this image and it lends itself for lots of colourways but I decided to go traditional. I have used gold glitter card, red mirri card and created my own background with a swirly stamp and gold embossing powder. The image was coloured using promarkers and I glittered the stars and added buttons then matted it on gold glitter card. I added red lacy ribbon, gold ribbon, red chiffon roses, hat pins I made using beads, and metal corners to finish.
