Excited

Well I was looking through the blogs I like and have just found out I have a featured card over at Make it Monday never had this before so excited.

Another reason for my excitement is that tomorrow I can finally reveal on of the projects I have been working on and share some exciting news (Well to me it's exciting).


Clean and simple card using delicious doodles image

Well today I got to make one of my favourite styles of card a clean and simple with lots of white space and minimal embellishments.  This is my favourite style as I post a lot of my cards and here in the uk posting bulkier items costs more now.

I have used a delicious doodle digi stamp to create the card, but as I didn't want to add any embellishments to the card I made the focal image black and white and only coloured selected areas to really make them stand out.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges


Artistic Impressions - Challenge 55 CAS
Incy Wincy Designs Challenge - One layer cards

New home card

Well a couple of my friends have moved into new homes over the weekend so it made me start to think about cards that I could send.

A couple of months ago I made some samples that were to be used to launch CAP2 in Germany, one of which was a new home card.

So I pulled up my design here it is with the tag in German,

 
and here it is with sentiment in English

Miley Glamoureyes bedtime sentiment card

Well I have been reading various blogs all afternoon, and learning of card challenges that I wouldn't normally have known about had I not read the blogs.

One challenge really caught my eye it was using a sentiment on a card, well my youngest doesn't sleep very well, he never has, so I find myself singing various rhymes I find on the internet most nights.  The one on this card really grabbed my attention.

So I set about creating a background paper, then some embellishments, I would really like to thank Birds Cards for her beautiful cutting files, she never ceases to amaze me with her creations and generosity.  I added an inked edge and then printed the rhyme on to it.  I then used a fab free digi stamp from Glamoureyes called Miley.

I am really thrilled with the final card hope you all like it too
