Struggling with male orientated cards is now a thing of the past for me, these stamps don´t you agree, just cry out to be used . I have followed the fabulous sketch Marcea designed special for this hop.

I have used copics and chalks, papers are Bloom n Grow, ribbon is from SU and the corner dies are Double Do.

Die Cut Dreams - Challenge #20

Good morning from a very sunny Costa del Sol, can´t believe the heat we are having at the end of October or that Monday is upon us again so soon and the extra hour we were supposed to get somehow disappeared without me noticing.

The challenge this week at Die Cut Dreams is Wedded Bliss and I have gone back to when I started crafting and made a decoupage, shaped card. I am also entering this card into One Stop Craft Challenge who are celebrating their 1st Bloggoversary with the theme of Celebrations .

I have used Summer Flowersoft on the bouquet, hairband and button hole to

give even more dimension and added some glamour dust to the brides dress.

Papers are BG Wisteria, sentiment from See D , floral ribbon around arch and other embellies from stash.

Autumn is here

Good morning peeps, I hope you are all hunky dory. Lovely and cool here this morning as we had torrential rain through the night and everything is refreshed.

Dottie´s World, Crafty Cardmakers and Crafty Calendar have all set the theme of Autumn which are colours I never use so a real challenge in itself for me and can you believe these are now my favourite colours.

I have coloured Madison, with my copics, just getting the feel of them now. Main dp is from KCo, prima flowers, spacers , brads, charm and braid are from my stash and I had fun making my wee dangly, yep that wire sure is useful!
