365 Cards Day 187 ~ Imagine This: Smart

The great thing about Imagine This challenges is that there are very few restrictions.  All you have to do is be inspired by the word provided, in this case "Smart".  Then you just start creating.

Owls are "smart".  They look at you with their large googly eyes, stating, "Oh I see you".

The patterned paper is from Spring Jubilee.

The twine is Maya Road, tied over a dark brown grosgrain ribbon, through the button.

The owl stamps are from Micia Craft of Taiwan.

Alphabets are EK Success Image Tree stamps.

Leafy fronts are Hero Arts stamp.

I made this card using Tuesday Morning Sketches #162 which I found through Iwona Ipalamountain's blog.

This card is also made for Ribbon Carousel RCC69 ~ Beautiful Bows.

Back to School

The latest sketch from Retro Sketches rs#27 is lovely and used it for this card with a Back to School theme for Ribbon Carousel RCC68 and CAS-ual Fridays CFC68.

The card has a fun feel with the quirky alphabet stickers and froggies.

Stamped in a heart bouquet for teacher.

The gingham ribbon completes the card.

365 Cards Day 176 ~ It's a Textural Thing

Use 3 different techniques for adding texture to your card.  They can be anything you want.  Look around at your stash, you might be surprised at all the ways you can add texture to your card.  Sometimes you'll even find items (flowers, buttons, stickers) that already have a wonderful texture to them.

Yet another plain and simple card from me.

Embossing with the Cuttlebug,

some jewels and pearls in the embossed parts,

and twine cording from Maya Road.

Popped in the label (banner) to complete the card.

This card is made with the following challenges in mind :-
CAS-ual Fridays CFC67 ~ Banners and Flags,
Cute Card Thursday Challenge 231 ~ Bling It Up,

Ribbon Carousel RCC67 ~ Bump It Up and Twine.

Dressed Up in Buttons and Bows ~ RCC61

This card is made for Ribbon Carousel Blog RCC61.

I was looking at some fine cards posted on Pininterest last night and caught sight of a card which had this lovely origami dress hanging on a clothes line.  I followed the link to youtube and made a dress out of origami paper from Daiso for this card. Because the dress is just gorgeous with the button and bow, I decided to leave the rest of the card clean.  I hope you like it.  A dress fit for a princess.
