Here is my card for the Cute card Thursday Butterfly Kisses challenge.
The butterfly stamps are by Hunkydory and the sentiment is from Waltzingmouse stamps.

The latest Play Date Cafe Challenge 176 colours Cappuccino...Slate...Burlap really appealed to me, which was a surprise as I generally prefer vibrant to neutral shades.

I am entering this card using one of my favourite colour combinations into two challenges:
Polka Doodles #14 Pink and Brown

It's a simple card using stamps which were a gift with the latest Get Stamping magazine. I used a fine liner pen to doodle patterns onto the stamped chevrons.

This is my entry for the Play Date Cafe Challenge No 175 The Sweet Smell of a Colour. I stamped the image direct onto the base card. It's a pretty floral tag stamp by Rubber Stampede, coloured with Promarkers, as is the ribbon and die cut butterfly. I added dimensional pearl paint and holographic glitter to finish the card.

I am entering this card into the latest Play Date Cafe Challenge. The stamped image

few gems and pendant embellishment to finish off my card.

I enjoyed making this card and had forgotten how many teddy bear themed stamps I have bought over the years. I seem to recall that this one came from an unmounted sheet I bought years ago at a craft show. The background was created by randomly stamping stars onto my base card.

Here is my interpretation of the Playdate Cafe Challenge 151 (wine, pumpkin and moss).
I do like this colour combination, it reminds me of autumn. I stamped my kraft base
card with a pumpkin coloured ink on a text stamp by Walzingmouse Stamps. I used
the same ink for the thank you sentiment and a wine coloured one for the flower (both
stamps are by Stampin Up). I finished it Lavender Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02394679798826214084noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365552015975367976.post-82898803539603118062012-09-16T19:06:00.001+01:002012-09-17T18:58:03.181+01:00So Sweet
Having been away from crafting and blogging for ages I recently discovered Joanna Sheen's challenge blog and as I have a lot of JS stamps I had to have a go and here is the result. I love this mother and babe fairy image, definitely so sweet! The card blank features swirl and flower stamps (not sure which brand) and inks from a Big & Juicy pad.

I normally have to think long and hard when entering a colour challenge but as soon as I saw the above colour scheme on the Play Date Cafe Challenge blog I knew I had the perfect backing paper from an old oriental themed pack. I am not sure where the lady image on the tag is from as it has been in my graphics folder on the PC for a few years.

I made this card today for my friend who will be 50 next month. I sawthe sketch relating to Sketch Saturday's week 13 challenge and decidedto use that as my inspiration. Apologies for the awful photograph. Itlooks rather grainy but I am pleased with the card as it looks in reallife. I used a large square Kraft card as my base.
