Today i would like to share with you a card i made for the Creata Show Thursday 20th June

I printed a photo of my eldest son William to use as the focal point and then chose the papers and mirror board colours to match in with the colour palette of the photo. I have Matt & layered using mirror board and a beautiful christmas paper - i then chose some key die cut elements to tie in the Christmas theme.

Spots & Stripes - Challenge Entry xx

I am spending the day today in my Kraft Korner catching up with my list of cards for challenges and orders
I made this one for a friends Challenge Blog Sheila i hope this one is ok hun xx

The challenge was called 'Spots & Stripes' so i had a look through my papers draw and found this lovely aqua striped paper, i colour matched this with some satin finish aqua cardstock - the stripey paper is just lightweight ivory cardstock that ive over stamped with my polka dot background stamp by 'Visible Image'.
The image is my 'Katie' character stamp also by 'Visible Image' i stamped her onto neenah cardstock and colour with a mix of promarkers and copic markers. the sentiment stamp in by 'Pink Gem' i cut this out using a round die by Xcut and the decorative circle die is by 'Crafters Companion'
