Pets

The latest challenge over at Gill's is Pets. Now I have two cats, both slightly mad, but I couldn't get a decent photo of them so I opted for some freebies that I got in a magazine before Christmas. I used a white base card and matted and layered pink card and snowflake paper on top. I made a frame in pink and mounted it onto the photo of the kittens and attached it to the card at an angle. The sentiment is a peel off mounted on a tag that I've matted onto silver mirri and I finished off with some pink stars.
Thanks for looking :)

Spring

Gill's current challenge is Spring and we are having a brilliant spring day today. Glorious blue sky, 14 degrees and all the trees are flowering!
I used an A5 base card and matted it with Anna Griffin paper. The image is from Sheena Douglass stamped and embossed in white and coloured with promarkers. The strip across the middle is a Martha Stewart punch with ivory organza ribbon on top. The flowers are using the same ribbon and following Sue Wilson's demo this morning. It was so easy and I love them, there will be ribbon flowers on everything now ! I used a few pearls for decoration.

Mardi Gras

I've just found Gill's challenges and decided to post a quick entry before it's too late. As the theme is Mardi Gras I decided to use a fan template from Debbi Moore's cd.  That's when I  found out that my printer was telling me the truth when it said it was low on ink!!! So I then chose to use some of the lovely papers in Debbi's magazine to make a fan and mounted it on black mirri. I embossed a corner in silver mirri because it resembles a mask (upside down!) and a silver oval which I decorated with feathers and gems. I was just about to post it and then saw that the challenge was to use purple gold and green! That'll teach me not to read things properly! So I used green mirri and a gold butterfly for highlights and hope this is enough to cover the brief :)
