My final GDT card for Cupcake Craft Challenges...

Good morning fellow bloggers...today is my final card as a guest over at Cupcake Craft Challenges!! Thank you ladies for having me, it was a pleasure...

So this weeks challenge is "Best of British" and you can take your inspiration from the photo below..


For my card I have taken inspiration from the London part of the photo, the papers are Portobello Road - Papermania as are the the buttons and bow. I embossed the union jack and distressed it down so that some of the white core would show through...I layered each of the layers onto kraft. I cut the bunting using my MFT banners die and attached them to some heavy button twine and the flower has also been cut from a MFT flower trio die. The stamp is from the slapstick range at Penny Black called London and I just added some minimal colouring using copics.....finished with some doodling around the edges...hope you like.

My GDT card for Cupcake...

Good morning bloggers and here we have my scheduled post for Cupcake Craft Challenges. This weeks challenge is "material girl".

Well I am kind of rubbish at using material however I thought I would make some felt flowers, felt is material so easy peasy!!

I have used papers from Fancy Pants - Summer Soul, the stamp is from Mo Manning called End of the Summer which I coloured with copics. All 3 flowers were cut from different MFT dies, the pink one is the rolled daisy die, the turquoise one is the loopy bloom die( but I snipped the loops) and the teal one is the bigger of the rolled rose dies. I added pearls, ribbon and a button too.

Totally papercrafts - buttons
Truly madly Crafty - handmade flowers
Bronte & Bella - flowers
Wags 'n' Whiskers - anything goes
