Hope you all had a good weekend.
I had a good one, busier than I would have liked, but I still managed to squeeze in sometime at my desk.
Recently I have been a bit challenge crazed :) This weekend I decided that I would have a challenge break and just have a little play.
I have a great subscription to Cards Magazine and there are always really amazing cards in the magazines. So I thought I'd choose a few and have a 'remake' session - changing them slightly, so they fit my kit!
The main card is my fave of the bunch.
I saw an idea in the January 2011 edition by Mandy Starner and I realised that I had a similar cloud paper and bird punch. Unfortunately I can't show you Mandy's card (or any of the other original ideas) because you can't copy the flash pages in the magazine.
I am pleased with my card and it is going in the post this week for a friend.
The next card is a bit out of the ordinary for me -

I have a great set of dies by Marianne creatables, that has a label and all these cool little button dies. I die cut them in all different colours and along with some petals, butterflies (both from JT), hearts, Candi's and sequins I kind of threw it all together! I found the random foam bird buried deep in my embellishment box!

I'll post them later in the week, as they are still drying! It was really fun to make these cards and just have a play with my kit and remind myself of what I actually have :)
I didn't get a chance to do card challenge reveal with JT yet, so that will be coming later this week!

Hi Claire, you have made two lovely cards here, love your arrangement of the embellies on the first one, hugs Carole Z X
ReplyDeleteSurprising for both of us but I also love that busy card! It's got loads going on up top but it's so streamlined that the result is fantastic. Love the headline though - drools over that punch....
