A day with Lorry x

Lorraine came over today and we set ourselves various challenges. First up to make a card for the Daring Cardmakers challenge to use NEON in a card. Lorraine chose a sketch from Mojo Monday here so we used that too and lastly to use my Papertrey Ink stamps. Great fun we had! Pop over to Lorraines blog here to see her designs from today.



So heres my card using Papertrey Ink Half and Half stamp set and die, with a neon pink felt butterfly and die. A pop of neon yellow for a die cut button.Never thought I'd ever use neon but I think a little goes a long way! I didnt realise this at the time but this also qualifies for the Lets Craft and Create challenge!





Our next challenge was from Freshly Made Sketches here. To be honest neither Lorraine or I fell in love with this sketch but decided to go for it...its meant to be a challenge after all and we were pleased with our results!


Wanting to do something different to the other entries, I decided to go with a cheesehole effect with a couple of circle punches. Heres the finished card, very simple and hopefully suitable for boy.




Lorraine was taking a.g.e.s......over her card ....yawn.....so not wanting to waste valuable crafting time I decided to enter another challenge on Lets Craft and Create Challenge here. A felt/fabric challenge so I used papertrey ink flower dies and felt to make the layered flower plus some ribbon and the mat is embossed with a honeycomb embossing folder.



And as time was running out our last and final card was a Clearly Besotted Stamps colour challenge here. A great idea seeing as I'd only received the banner stamp and die set from them yesterday so we used those for our cards!


The colours I've used for my card are Stampin Up Certainly Celery with Primrose Petals and Tempting Turquoise. The flowers are PTI Beautiful Blooms 11 with their matching die. We had a mini-challenge of our own to use the same cardstock for the background and a piece of the matching ribbon. IM not happy with my bow....its lost on the background cardstock. Never mind, I can always pull it off later!


Thanks for looking at my cards from today. We had great fun and consumed vast amounts of tea and cake!
