Creative Moments Challenge reminder – Photo inspiration

I have made a second card this month using a Hetty Clare digi and using the photo inspiration, Working in lilacs has been such fun this month and I just used a sticker for the sentiment as the line of it matched the chef’s legs. The digi I used is called  Birthday Chef and is available on the Hetty Clare Etsy site where there are dozens of beautiful and fun digis for all occasions.

The challenge at Creative Moments is open until the 7th June, So please do join us and enter your creation for the chance to win a prize from Hetty Clare or Mirtillamente.

Creative Moments – DT Call

Today I’m sharing another of the Christmas cards that I made. This was a Hunkydory kit and made a delightfully pretty card. I found some gems in my stash to add some balance and finish it off. The photo doesn’t really do justice to the colours on this card.

Don’t forget that we are holding a DT call over at Creative Moments. If you are reading this and have thought that joining a challenge blog might be a fun challenge, please click through to enter 2 of your blog posts which demonstrate your style.

Creative Moments Challenge reminder – sketch

This card is a little reminder of the monthly challenge at Creative Moments challenge blog. This month we have an optional sketch as the theme. My last post showed you a card using a digi from Beccy’s Place using the sketch, but this shows a different way to use another fabulous free digi from Beccy. The digi is called STOCKING and is coloured with Promarkers. It’s worth looking to see what great choice Beccy has especially some new valentine’s and love themed digistamps. The backing card is very old and from my stash and the sentiment is from an olld Forever Friends card kit. Diont forget to look at the Creative Moments challenge blog for some great and varied interpretations of the sketch and of course to enter your own card!
