Friend card for June CCC

It is time for the reveal over at the Card Chain Challenge blog... For June I got to send a card to Linda in Michigan.

 
I used Catherine Pooler inks and stamps for my Medallion.   It is from the latest Stamp of Approval Naturally Inspired and I stamped in Rockin' Red.  The Kasiercraft sentiment fitted beautifully in the middle.  I fussy cut it and pop dotted it onto the black and white striped card.   Added some sequins to finish. 

I also got a beautiful card from Jutta in BC.

 

It is very pretty.  To see all the beautiful cards in the reveal post...pop over here . 

I've signed up for July too... You have till the 6th July to sign up... at the CCC blog 

Thanks for stopping by today.  

June CCC for Sara

My June CCC went to Sara in Cincinnati.  We had a sketch to follow:

 

or a theme: Friendship, Patriotism or Water

or use buttons

I used two flowers die cut from burlap covered card and added a button to the centre.  The background stamping was a Stampin' Up stamped in yellow ink and smooshed.  Added the sentiment from my Stamp of Approval set by GinaK.  Finished with some glittery washi along the bottom.

Had a very enjoyable winter's weekend at Mangawhai with our friend.  It was a tad cold in the mornings with a bit of frost.
                                                              
Went for a walk along the beach
                       

and got to have a little play with some of my new goodies
                                     

Happy 4th of July to all my US friends and readers.   Hope you have a great long weekend.

June CCC reveal

Hi there.... I've been quite busy over the last week or so.  I've had a number of commissions for a few of people at work and then we went away for the weekend.  I took some stamps and my Copic makers and Watercolour pencils.

Had fun.

But today I am here to share the card I made as part of Deborah's CCC for June.  If you don't know what this is... it's a card chain challenge...where you get to make a card and send it to someone else.  See Deborah's blog (here) to find out about the next challenge.  For June I got to send my card to Deborah herself.



I used the sketch Deborah did and the colourway.  I stamped the greeting and then embossed the background.  I also embossed the banner I cut.  The little blue circle is a Penny Black stamp cut out with a Spellbinders die. 

I'm off  to make up some cards from my coloured images...

I'm back tomorrow with a card for Die Cut Divas blog.  Do come back and visit

June CCC

Since Lily Pad cards closed, the CCC (Card Chain Challenge) reverted back to Deborah's blog.   Deborah challenged us to use a sketch or a colour challenge or a theme.

 Theme:  Independence Day, Cook-out or Friends.

My card went to Arlene in California.  I used the sketch for my design. The ribbon was sent to me by Cathy A. It is a sheer ribbon, so layered it onto some red card. The butterfly is a Marianne die. I added some Sukura glitter pen on the body. Sentiment is by Hero Arts.  This card was entered into Lawnscaping Splash of Colour challenge.

And here is the amazing card that Karen in Canada sent to me...

Pop over to Deborah's blog here to see all the creations for June's CCC and here to sign up for July's CCC

I've just had a lovely evening with my friend Yvonne.  She came round and her and I had dinner.  Her Hubby is currently in Poland, getting ready to present a paper at a Conference on Friday, and my hubby was out at a business dinner... We had a good catch up and watched a new TV programme called "The Block" ~ a reality programme where 4 couples have to renovate 4 run down houses.  It is set very near where I work and all the places the teams had to visit this week, are ones that we know.   I actually drove past the houses today.... they have come a long way from what is shown on TV tonight.

Have a great week...
Dawn 

June CCC

I have had word from Janet in Mauritius that my card to her arrived safely and yesterday I received the most wonderful parcel from Barb - a wonderful card, some buttons and flowers, some sparkly gems and some lovely blank card bases and envelopes...   Look at the card and goodies:

Isn't the card just so pretty.  I just love the whole thing!!!  Wasn't Barb so generous. 

And this is what I sent to Janet:

One of the challenge ideas was the theme of Friendship.  I thought the words fitted this theme.  I also sent her a book mark - but forgot to take a photo of it...

I've already signed up for July's challenge.  If you haven't taken part so see Deborah's blog here with the details.  It is so much fun and you never know where you will get a card from!!!!

Notice the sun was shining when I took the photo of Barb's card... well 10 mins later the rain was pouring down,... been like that the rest of the day... sunny then raining.  A real pain in the behind as I can't get the washing dried.

thanks for looking.... off to make more cards for the boys... that page has sooo many cars on it,..... more car cards coming!!!!
