Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and for those in the UK hope all of your pets nerves are back to normal after the Guy Fakes celebrations !
I just wanted to say a big big thank you to everyone who joined in our challenges 13 of them in total at Get Creative last month . We had a record amount of entries and the winners will be announced in the next few days boy its going to be tough there where some fabulous entries !!
A new month and the first challenge at Get Creative is a card challenge are illustrious leader Irini has asked us to make a card using two stamped images , but they must be different stamps .
Here are my DT cards
I have used my new set of Hero Arts and Sizzix die cuts stamps and embossing folders on this one. oops looks like i have used three stamps on this !!!!!!
Moving swiftly on and using only TWO stamps this time the centre image is Crafty Individuals which I have embossed with Ranger distress embossing powder and the swirly stamp is SU which I have stamped with Versamark watermark resist ink to give a tone on tone effect.
For this card I have used two Hero arts stamps and coloured the flower with Letraset markers ( my first attempt and probably my last ) I and markers do not mix !! The sentiment is cut out using my Silhouette machine , which I have to say is feeling a little neglected of late !
This one is a variation on the first card using DP instead of the background stamp its a bit busy and I’m not sure if I like it but it begged me to be shown !!
Added this little butterfly to the inside of the card
Why not pop over to Get Creative and see the beautiful inspirational pieces by my talented team mates and why not even take part. We are sponsored this month by Cherry Nest who are offering a free place in one of their on line classes entitled Every day is Christmas Woo Hoo !!!
Nearly forgot to mention that the fabulous Lynn Stevens from Trash to Treasure is Celebrating her three year blog anniversary and is giving away some of her masterpieces to some lucky followers. I really didn’t want to post this as I am sure you will rush over there and my chances of winning of one her amazing pieces of art will be drastically reduced. The thing is not only is Lynn an amazing artist but she is a thoroughly lovely lady so for once I will just have to put my greediness aside !
In the words of the great Mr Bugs Bunny

Oh, you are the Card Queen, Sweet Marie. They are all so stunning, however I must say I'm very attracted to the second one. Something almost a little primitive about it. Love the stamp.

Stunning card designs but that is nothing new. Each time I visit you always have an abundance of cards and each one hits the spot.WishesLynne
Hi Marie, popped in to catch up and found that I've missed a lot – and now I feel so neglectful 😦 What a batch of lovely cards – and, even though there is the same two stamp theme running through, they are all so different. If I had to choose a favourite I'd say the Crafty Individual one – the bird stamp is lovely and the swirly flourish is fab. Like how you're decorating the inside too – just finishes the cards off nicely. Off to look at all your other brilliant creations 🙂 Elizabeth x
Oh! such beautiful work as ever, love them all AND the letreset flower 🙂
