52CCT Christmas in July Blog Hop!

Many thanks to the girls at 52CCT for giving me an honorable mention for this card here:-

Now onto the fun blog hop for the month of July over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown with some prizes to be had too! Go take a look......

Now there are not one but four cards to make! I decided to make my four card all at once,using the same base colour cardstock of Lucky Limeade from Stampin Up.

First up the recipe challenge:-

Using ink is your friend to give a card a vintage feel.....and vintage buttons!

 Second is the sketch challenge:-

A Technique Tuesday stamp set - Be Jolly

 Third we have a use stickers challenge:-

 I loathe stickers. It just seems a cop out to slap a sticker and hey presto, job done. Anyway, a very simple card using a set of stickers retrieved from my box of stash destined for the charity shop!

My fourth card using the recipe challenge:-

I do like the pinks in this card. Four shades in total but hopefully 52CCT wont notice that I have forgotten to use grey! That comes from doing all four card in the one session! Oops!
