Pile it on challenge # say it with words

Hi,
The challenge over at pile it on is to make a creation with a sentiment as the focal point ( no image )
and the other requirement is to enter at least one other challenge.


I'm also entering in the Lily of the Valley challenge which is to use blue and silver.


My niece asked me to make a wedding card. I did start out with the intension of making it contemporary
but it kind of evolved into vintage, but she likes it.
The base card stock is by stamping up from the neutrals assorted pack from Victoria
I used an embossing folder by sizzix it has 3 lovely borders in it too, on stardust card.
The patterned paper is from my stash which I punched with 2 different  Martha Stewart heart punches.
Check out the do crafts online shop I got the heart sentiment punch for 99p it's by Anitas, along with others, a bargin!!!! I stamped with versafine sepia.
Blue aster flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  white one from stash.
Nestys lables 4 for tag and sentiment mount
 Thanks for stopping by.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge 92 Spring Colours

Hello,

 Over at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge your creations have to have a Penny Black image or sentiment and the theme this week is spring colours.


My card also fits into these challenges too:
One Stop Craft Challenge - spots and dots
Crafty Sentiments  -  sketch
Pile it on - to get your creation on at least one other challenge and the theme is pastels.
 This is my second card for this challenge, you can enter more than once!!



I used the lovely sketch over at the new Crafty Sentiments challenge blog, thank you Lisa for the invitation to join in the fun.
 Hop over there and give them your support, they would love to see you.

I thought I would make a thank you easel card using the gorgeous Martha Stewart edge punch.
If you cut a square 3 1/4 inches and punch each side it makes this lovely frame which I matted onto a Nestibilities classic scallop square.
The image is from the Critters clear stamp set by Penny Black.
Papers I used were printed from the spring CD by Wild Rose Studio and Bazzil
The gorgeous sentiment stamp is by Stamping Up. I absolutely adore these stamps!!!!

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day
Love

Pile it On Challenge # 10 Pastels

Hi,
Hope you've all had a good weekend,

I spent yesterday with my lovely sister, we started making some small Easter gifts for my grandaughter to give out at the mums and tots group that I take her to. I'ts her birthday on the 26th and she's leaving to start nursery after the Easter break. I'll show them when they are finished!!



This is my card for the following challenges:
Pile it On - the theme is Pastels and to get your creation on to at least one other challenge.
Magnolia  Down Under - It's their 1st birthday day,   "Happy Birthday!" so you can guess the theme. They have a brilliant blog hop to follow with candy along the way!!!  My card has a Magnolia background.
Crafty Creations - to make your own flowers
My Time To Craft - Kidz Cards
Ooh la la Creations chall 49 - anything goes

I loved making the tent card so much I thought I would use it for this children's birthday card and have the teddies hanging in the window, there's a fabulous tutorial here
The apperture was cut with Nestabilities rectangle plain and scallop.
I used Magnolia summer background and coloured it with Copic markers.
The  gorgeous teddies stamp is by Elzybells and the designer paper is by Kay & Co
Sentiment, oval punch and scallop oval by Stamping Up
I punched the flowers from more of the paper and joined the card at the top with brads. I covered the back with the designer paper to cover the brads.

 Thanks so much for stopping by,
Love Cherie   //*.*\\
