Little Claire Challenge and Blog Hop!

Hi there! This month over on Little Claire's Blog we are having an 'open theme' for our challenge as well as a blog hop!

So to start with here is the card I have made for the challenge:

I have used the very versatile 'Changing Tree' stamp set with the 'Education' embellishments, coloured with ProMarkers and mounted on dark brown cardstock. For the sentiment I have used one of the tags from the 'Little Beauties' set, gently inked in blue. The papers were free from a magazine, star and banner die by Memory Box, pearls and Candi from my stash :)

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:
One Stop Craft Challenge #229- Anything Goes
Charizma Cardz Challenge #19- No Digis Allowed

So this month we are offering 2 prizes, one for the challenge and one for the blog hop!

Changing Tree...

Hi there! Hope you have all had a lovely weekend :)

I am popping in tonight to show you a couple more of the cards I have made using the wonderful 'Changing Tree' and 'Bunting' stamp sets which have been released recently by Little Claire's - I love both of these stamp sets :) The changing tree allows you to build your own scene using all the various elements included.

For this first card I used the stamp set to create a wedding tree. The sentiment is from the very useful 'Save the Date' set which allows you to put different numbers within the sentiment stamp. The image is coloured with ProMarkers, cut out and then stuck on the cardbase, which has been inked with blue ink. I then covered the edges of the die cut circle with buttons in various shades of blue. I have added small gems to the tree & sentiment to finish off :)

This time I created a music tree with the stamp set, and used the bunting set  for the sentiment :) I have coloured the image with ProMarkers, and die cut it using Nestabilities. The papers are from First Edition and I have added some Card Candi to finish off :)

I would like to enter this second card into the following challenges:
Passion for ProMarkers #146 - Cut it Out
I love ProMarkers #114 - Floral Image

Bye for now, hope you like the cards :) x
