Little Dutch Girl

A card I can post on my blog now that I know it's been received.  

I won this lovely Aall & Create stamp (#888) recently over on the Nifty Noodles Crafting Facebook page and inked it up for the first time.  The image was coloured with Promarkers and I used Spellbinders Oval Nestabilities dies for matting and layering.  The background was embossed with Spellbinders 'Dainty Dots' embossing folder.  I added three Card Candi and a sentiment to finish off my card.

All the card used was from my snippets drawer, except for the card base.

I am joining in the following challenges:

Snippets Playground Challenge #475 ~ Use Snippets

NBUS Challenge # 60 ~ Use Never-Before-Used-Schtuff

Stamping Sensations March Challenge ~ Spring/Anything Goes

We Love Stamping March Challenge ~ Feminine

Allsorts Challenge ~ Use Yellow

Lynn has chosen the theme of  'Use Yellow' for this week's Allsorts Challenge .  It would be lovely to see the challenge blog filled with yellow creations, but as always there is the option of A/G.  I had to go with Sunflowers for a yellow theme!

I thought I'd have a change from making a card for my DT creation, so I've made a Milk Carton Gift Box.  The box was made from a sheet of card measuring 10½" x 8" and I watched a video on the Nifty Noodles Crafting Facebook page for the instructions for making this size.   The patterned paper is from The Range and I layered it on plain yellow mats.  A bulldog clip keeps the box closed.

Prizes are from our generous sponsors, Craftstash and AALL and Create.

Allsorts Challenge ~ Spring

This is my second post today, please scroll down to see my Crafty Calendar Challenge DT card.

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Lorraine has chosen the theme of 'Spring'.  There is always the option of Anything Goes if you haven't got anything Spring related.

I love to see snowdrops appearing in my garden as a sign that spring it on its way.  The snowflake is a preloved die a bought a little while ago and I'm using it for the first time.  It didn't come in the packaging, so I don't know the brand.  It's a large die which fills a DL card.  I die cut the snowdrop in white and used green and vanilla Promarkers to add the colour.  The background was embossed with an A4 embossing folder.  I'm not sure of the brand as there is nothing written on the folder.  It possibly might be Creative Expressions.  I added a strip of green organza ribbon and raised up the sentiment on foam pads.
