Sunflower

I love making cards using one of my many sunflower stamps.  This card is for a special friend who I worked with for many years in a Reception Class called 'Sunflower'. I couldn't work out how to take the photo without shadows showing over the card!



Fundraising for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

I've had a busy week making cards and other papercraft items for my craft stall at a Ladies Pamper/Craft fundraising event this evening.  Thanks to everyone who bought things from me. All money taken on my stall will be going to the Motor Neurone Disease Association.



Dinosaur

My delightful great nephew will be four years old soon and knowing that he loves dinosaurs I made this card for him.  It took a while to adjust the dimensions of the card so that the stamped image fitted into the centre of the card, so I made sure I kept a note of the measurement for any future cards!  Having recently discovered Wink of Stella glitter pens, the gold pen was perfect to add a bit of sparkle to the dinosaur.

Autumn Colours

The new Lavinia stamps I chose for my prize as the Lavinia Stamps September blog challenge winner arrived last week.  It was like my birthday came early!!!! I've used a few of the stamps for the card I've made for October blog challenge ~ the theme is 'Autumn Colours'.  Trying to take a photo without distorting the shape of the card was a challenge in itself, but I've done the best I can!

The Lavinia stamps I used were: 'Autumn Fall (large)', 'Tree Root' and 'Vine', stamped using a Versafine Sepia inkpad. The background was made using Adirondack Sunset Orange and Walnut Stain Distress inkpads.

There are some amazing projects made by the Lavinia Design Team for this month's challenge, so have a look here and then make a card and enter the challenge yourself.
