Tanda Teaser Challenge Card - On The Case

I decided to join in with the latest Tanda Teaser challenge today as it sounded like fun. The challenge was to 'case' or replicate a card from Sheila's blog. I spent ages looking through all Sheila's wonderful creations and finally decided on this red and white love themed card, thinking it would be fairly simple to recreate....after all I was bound to have some red and white polka dot paper somewhere and a heart punch....errr...well as it turned out...NO!!!!!! All I had was a similar stamp from stamping up (the word love).

I was disappointed but determined to join in so I improvised by punching out lots of white paper dots and glueing them onto the red paper (something I don't ever want to do again in a hurry!!!). I found a single red foam heart and made 2 paper ones to go with it using one of the Glitter Girls' boards. The white lines and dots on the hearts are drawn with a white Sakura pen. I just added stems taken from some paper flowers I was tired with to the hearts, a white organza bow and some tiny teardrop shaped red gems.

Yeee Haa! Tanda Teaser Card

Tonight I made this card for Wendy's Yeee Haa! challenge over at Tanda Teaser. Unfortunately I don't have any suitably themed rubber stamps so I created a digital stamp of Chief Sitting Bull in Adobe Photoshop and added some grass, leaves and text. He is mounted onto a corrugated paper frame which is secured to the card base with string through eyelets. The backing papers are by Dovecraft.

Tanda Teaser Word Play Challenge

I made this card earlier for the latest Tanda Teaser Word Play Challenge. The blue card is stamped with just about visible Elusive Images Damask stamp in Versamark to create a watermark effect. I created the rest of the card in My Craft Studio and although I do like the image, the caption is still making me cringe!!!!

Tanda Teaser - Toy Box Treasures

I am trying to take part in more challenges and here is my card for the latest Tanda Teaser Challenge entitled Toy Box Treasures (http://tandastamps.blogspot.com/) The stamp I have used is Joanna Sheen Past Times stamped in Versafine sepia onto linen card. I then did some punching and added a bow and 2 little teddies plus a birthday greeting.
