Mini beasts!

Happy Monday everybody! Well, it isn't normally for me, but I had a day off work and it was fab! The weather turned out surprisingly gorgeous so went down to the coast and had lunch at a marina, then a long stroll along the beach and finished off with sitting in the sun for a couple of hours and swimming with the Labs in the sea - wonderful!

To the card! I used the sketch from Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge, but of course I've missed the deadline again! I also used inspiration from C.R.A.F.T. challenge to use mini beasts (what a great way to describe insects!)....

I love that felt ribbon - so tactile and yummy! It's only 2 inches wide so I butted up three lengths of it together to create a wide border. I also trimmed off a few flowers to decorate the inside. It's brilliant stuff!

Should be back tomorrow with another card - I'm on a roll!

Papers/cardstock: Bazzill cardstock, DCWV Nana's Nursery Baby Boy paper
Mediums: Copic Caios
Stamps: Aspects of Design dragonfly stamp set
Accents: Queen and Co felt fusion "ribbon", BasicGrey buttons

Tools: Nestabilities label die (inside card)

A double whammy! A first for me!

Yay! I've completed Mojo Monday sketch #113 AND Sparkle's Christmas card challenge #50! It's the first time I've done a double whammy as I find it difficult enough to just focus on one challenge at a time! So here's the sketch...

And here's my card...

I surprised myself by creating this card in less than two hours - it normally takes me a few days to mull over what it will look like and then a few hours to bring it together. I wish being creative came more naturally to me, rather than having to work at it so hard!

Now let's see if I can squeeze another card in by Sunday...

Papers/cardstock: various cardstock, DCWV glitter card (snowflakes), Tinkering Ink Yuletide paper pad
Stamps: Gel-a-Tins Holiday Mail (sentiment)

Accents: ribbon from stash, Queen & Co gems, Cosmo Cricket chipboard Christmas ornament, Bazzill white floss
