Donemark Craft Group Challenge - Wk 6 New home shaped card

Hi Folks!

This week I got my inspiration from a card I saw on Pinterest by "luv2scrapnmakecards.blogspot".  I'm very happy with how it turned out and hope you like it.

Donemark Craft Group Challenge - Wk 5 Vintage card

 Hi Folks!

This week I managed to complete two cards for the challenge.  The first was a picture of a vintage golfer which I found on the internet.  I used some text paper from my stash and the cover of the John Lewis catalogue (I always thought it would come in useful!!).  The sentiment is stamped onto a die cut tag.  On the second card I used a die cut and embossed camera which I then ink sponged in places and arranged on the card with an old piece of film negative still in my possession (showing my age now haha!).  The sentiment was computer generated and finally I added some candi and the camera lens which was covered in Glossy Accents.  Hope you like them both.





 
 



A Day's Labour!

This is a commissioned card for our friendly group of crafters to give to someone who is moving on to a new job and his cheerful face will be missed by all.  It took me far too long to complete but I'm pleased with the finished card.  Hope you like it too!

Koala Bear card

Hi everyone!

Two posts in one day - it's quite a shock to my system!  This card is designed by Bronwyn Eastley (addinktivedesigns.blogspot.com.au) and I wanted to do one as soon as I saw it.  I didn't have all the punches used by Bronwyn so I had to improvise but I am so pleased with the finished result.  Hope you like it.

Donemark Craft Group Challenge - Week 4 Christmas die cuts

Hi everyone!

Having a Christmas card challenge once a month is a wonderful idea!  Cards for Christmas 2014 will be sorted by September at this rate (haha!).  My two cards are shown below and I hope you like them.

Week 3 - Donemark Craft Club Challenge

Hi

I missed Week 2 unfortunately but Week 3 is a sympathy card in non-traditional colours so here is what I produced.



Hope you like it.
Hi Folks
As you can clearly see, I haven't used my blog in ages and was really on the point of giving up with it.  It's not as though I'm not making cards, it's just that I can never find the time to put all the info on the blog.  Anyway, I am going to give it one last try - I can hear all my friends saying "haha".
My friend, Karen, who runs our small but friendly craft group has decided to set us a weekly challenge and this is the card I completed for the first week under the heading "Female - Flowers".



I was supplied with the digital image and used promarkers to colour it.  I chose some Grand Nestability dies to create the base card and used card from my stash.  Thanks Karen for what will likely be my mother's birthday card.

Hope you like it too.
