Make waves!

Hello,

It's Challenge time again over at the Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge Blog.  As always it starts the first Saturday of the month, and  lasts for about a month. I do hope that you'll join us there. 

The theme of the Challenge, as always, is Fantasy, however as long as it's Fantasy pretty much anything goes. If you're not sure what we mean by that just check out the Challenge Rules, or in the side bar on the Challenge blog. We also have a monthly optional theme, this month it's Mermaids. Sometime last year, while on holiday in the US, I bought a pad of Mermaids themed papers by Graphic 45. So decided to use that.

Happy 70th birthday

Hello there,

It's the first of the month again, so it's time for a new Pearly Sparkles challenge, over at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog. Our theme this month is "Black and White plus 1 other colour". I've a friend celebrating a big birthday so wanted to make a special card for her. As she's a Liverpool supporter I decided to add red to the mix, as that's the colour of their strip. I hope you like the card I've made, I've done a couple of variations of this in different colours, including easel cards.

I also hope you'll join us over at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog this month and share your makes with us.

Unicorn in the woods

Hello,

It's Challenge time again over at the Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge Blog.  As always it starts the first Saturday of the month, and  lasts for about a month. I do hope that you'll join us there. 

The theme of the Challenge, as always, is Fantasy, however as long as it's Fantasy pretty much anything goes. If you're not sure what we mean by that just check out the Challenge Rules, or in the side bar on the Challenge blog. We also have a monthly optional theme, this month it's Unicorns. I had to come up with something with limited resources this month as  I'm still in the process of setting up a new PC, plus my printer's playing up! So my craft room is a mess, and my main die cutting machines aren't accessible at the moment!

Fortunately I remembered a Hunkydory kit from which I'd got some bits left over. So I chose a unicorn image from the Little Book of Twilight Kingdom.

Card recipe

7 x 7 black card blank

Hunkydory Little Book of Twilight Kingdom
