House of Cards - April Challenge

Another month whizzes by! This months challenge is to make a card with butterflies and/or the following colour scheme.



I decided not to use butterflies. I use them al the time. So I stuck to the colour scheme and made a masculine card, perhaps for a teenage boy.

The background card has been stamped using Turquoise ink and the Off the Grid stamp set by Stampin Up then over stamped in yellow using Gorgeous Grunge set again from Stampin Up. SU On Film Framelits to cut the black frame, layered and a "boyey"paperclip and sequins to finish off.

House of Cards - March Challenge

The design team this month have been challenged to use enamel dots on their cards. I have in the past tried to make my ow but failed miserably. Have a look at our challenge blog as we have some great tutorials on making your own!



So here's my card. Not a very inventive use of enamel dots so I apologise!! Stampin up Cupcake Party, Heidi Swapp resist paper "banner" which I inked in yellow/turquoise to match the papers and a big Hello greeting. A few enamel dots as embellishment.
