One card ~ FOUR challenges.

I was tidying up the desk this morning and found some bits and pieces and thought I'd better use them up.... a bit of lace, some left over vellum and a piece of blue card I die cut but decided not to use.... so here's what came about

The vellum was the end of the piece I used the other day.  This adhesive vellum comes in 12" x 3" strips.  I embossed the little bit I had left to see what it would look like.  Worked well.  The blue card was cut for a card yesterday, but I decided to use some other PP instead.  Once I added the lace I found the flower which had been made quite a while ago using some hand coloured card and a Spellbinders die. The sentiment is a Simon Says Stamp one, the set still waiting to be put away. And the base card was the other half of a piece Neenah card I cut yesterday.

I used the Sketch from Fusion card challenge #15

 

I'm also entering this into the following challenges

City Crafter Challenge ~ Count your Blessings

A Blog Named Hero ~ Victorious Vellum

Simon Says Stamp (Wednesday challenge) ~ Monochromatic

I like that this card came together so quickly and now there are less scraps on the desk.

It's been a good crafty weekend for me.  Always makes me feel happy when I get some cards made. And today's weather has been much better.  Look what's in my garden at the moment.

Fusion Card Challenge #15

Thought I'd try a Fusion card today... something a little different for Christmas

I started with a scrap of black card and embossed the sentiment from a new Kaisercraft set (full of Christmas quotes) and then over stamped with white ink which I then smudged over the card.  I trimmed it then added some sketchy lines and a doodle in the corner.  I mounted on some brown card that had been coloured to imitate wood with two distress inks. I cut my PP with one of the curved dies from Spellbinders and added to a Neenah Desert Storm cut to a base.  This is a big wider and shorter than I usually use as it's a US size pad.  Instead of a banner, I used some chiffon ribbon and tied a bow.  I finished with a resin rose that I had made.   As I've got a bow on this, I'm also entering this into the challenge over at Creative Craft Cottage (this is a New Zealand based challenge blog ~ got to support the local gals)
Also entered into Word Art Wednesday challenge and over at Moxie Fab World

It was a cold, wet and windy afternoon, so I made a visit to Scotties to pick up some American Crafts foil card stock that was on special for $10 for a 12x12 pack of 30 sheets.  Half price, so pleased to pick this up.  Also got the Kaisercraft set.   Back home, I settled into the craft room for the afternoon.  Got this card done, and another Christmas card that I'll share later in the week. 

Hope the weather is better at your place.  Have a super crafty weekend.
