Crafty Ann's Challenge #81

************************

Crafty Ann's Challenge #81

Happy New Year everyone!!

The first challenge of 2013 is

1 IMAGE...2 PAPERS...3 EMBELLISHMENTS

but NO FLOWER embellishments

This really was a challenge for me, a flower addict who puts them on almost everything except mens cards, lol.

For my image I chose the lovely Venetian Mask which is now my favourite of the set :)
The purple paper is from the Funky collection and the green is Polished stone all from the shop here


I printed and cut two layers for the eye mask and the top piece and adhered with silicone to give some dimension. 
I made my own template for the green mat in Serif PPx5 using a bracket shape.

I used gold pen to highlight the braid and around the eyes. I used copics to colour.
The fleur de lis accents are coloured with gold dabber and the gold ribbon bow completes my three embellishments.

We hope you can play along with us for this first challenge of the year.
Do pop over to  CACB  and have a look at the excellent samples fab DT have produced  for your inspiration.

Twins First Birthday

******************

It seems no time at all since I posted a congrats card for my niece and her hubby on the birth of their darling twin girls and here it is already - their first birthday!!

When they are older I will make them a card each but as my mojo is nowhere in sight, I hope that this will be acceptable.

I am losing it.......I've forgotten details of the papers already.....perhaps because I shuffled sooo many paper designs about before I made my choice.

Sweet LOTV image, handcut number, spotty ribbon and VERY old pearly button with bakers twine.

Challenge
Lili's Little Fairies - two backing papers

New Baby

I know!! I've been AWOL for ages.
I'm having a struggle getting back to blogging although I have been busy cardmaking :(

This is a commission and the little chap was born in December but my customer wanted  a pic of him on the card but didn't get this until last week.
