Firstly I'd like to apologise if I haven't been able to visit your blogs very often recently. It's all due to a combination of my laptop having major meltdowns, family visits and celebrations and working on my Docraft samples for Saturday. I'd like to say that normal service will be resumed soon but I'm not sure what 'normal' is anymore.
Now on to today's business. It's the start of the May challenge at Kraftyhands. Thank you to those of you who joined in with the April challenge, the winners have been announced on the blog. This challenge is just for fun and the theme this month is a pretty one:
Now on to today's business. It's the start of the May challenge at Kraftyhands. Thank you to those of you who joined in with the April challenge, the winners have been announced on the blog. This challenge is just for fun and the theme this month is a pretty one:
"Lace and Pearls"
This is my inspiration for you this month.
I took a 6"x 6" card blank and covered it with blue card. I printed the pretty paper and image from the Craft Nouveau CD. I added a wide ivory lace and two thin strips of blue lace back to back across the card front.
I love the Art Nouveau artwork on this CD. There are so many gorgeous images and wonderful papers. I matted the circular topper onto a die-cut scalloped circle and mounted it onto the card with foam pads.
For the pearls part of the theme I made the three stick pins with pink and blue 'pearls' and attached them behind the sentiment which is from the CD.
I added some little flowers, a double bow and finished the card with three faux half pearls.
Now please visit the Kraftyhands Challenge Blog for a full set of the challenge rules and to view the inspirational creations from my talented team mates. Remember to be a follower of the challenge blog to qualify for entry in the challenge. Don't forget to watch the Kraftyhands shows on The British Craft Network.
I shall have some Docraft samples for you tomorrow.
