Make It Yourself!



This week we have really fantastic dare with Daring Cardmakers . 
Kathy set up 

Make It Yourself challenge 

I think we've probably all saved links to wonderful projects and ideas that we'd like to try out....one day, so this week I'd like you to.....
 Make It Yourself 
It's all about making your own embellishments. You can use one of those saved "I'll try this one day" ideas, or come up with your own decorative element and use it on your card.
 Use felt, card, paper, fabric, ribbon, lace, wire - anything you like, but no cheating and using a ready made one


Here is my card and two tags :






Have a nice and sunny weekend!

Feeling Blue



Washing machine fully loaded and on so I can share another card with you! This time for 
 Can you believe that we are on #51 challenge? Amazing! 
Sarah has chosen this inspirational image and asked us to create card or project with the shades of blue and hint of green. 
When I was creating my card I smile seeing this combination I enjoyed this challenge a lot and I love how beautiful stripe grosgrain is!



Here is my card :





I played with American Crafts Majestic clear stamps. Went for two ink shades turquoise and tea leaves then cut out with circle punch. Layered with mounting pads.


When I've got Stampin' Up Petite Pairs I didn't know their are so fabulous. You can use them for any occasion. So many combinations with these sentiment stamps!


I love the soft look of blue stripe grosgrain. It looks soo pretty! I am sure you can change any your project to a stunning piece that everybody will admire!


Have a beautiful day!
