C.R.A.F.T Challenge 22

This week the theme at C.R.A.F.T challenge is anniversary, and for my DT card I have used The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady CD from Joanna Sheen. For the card base I used plain cream card, inked round the edges with robin's egg blue ink. I printed the backing paper on ice diamond lustre paper, although this hasn't shown up on the photo. The sentiment I printed off the computer, the flowers I embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder and inked round the edges.




This week our sponsor is Craft Obsessions who are offering 6 Promarkers of your choice as this week's prize.

Harvest Mouse Card - Tuesday Taggers

The challenge this week at Tuesday Taggers is to create something using this lovely Harvest Mouse image which they are giving away for free, designed by Teri, one of their DT. You can visit Teri's shop, Delicious Doodles, here.

I embossed the flower and the card behind the mouse with the cuttlebug daisy folder. The leaves are Quickcutz die cuts coloured with twinkling H2os. The mouse I coloured with pencils.
