Hiya crafty friends,

Wow, a month has passed and here we are at this months Stamping Dragon's Designs challenge, which this months theme is
Flowers

And there is a great prize of

To make my card I have used the beautiful Simply Soft Elements collection which has some stunning embellishments


These flowers are individual so I resized them so I could decoupage the corner of the frame. I added some flat back pearls to the centre of each flower.

 
Another element is this frame which has ribbons flowing from it. I added the Happy Birthday text myself, so it is great to use for any ocassion!

Can't wait to see all your projects over on the challenge blog

Tattered Lace Challenge - Romance and Roses

Hiya crafty friends,

Wow! The time has gone by so fast, and here we are at our second Tattered Lace Challenge. But before we get to that there is the little matter of the blog candy winner, who will win a set of Tattered Lace Lavish Blooms dies generously given by the lovely people at Tattered Lace.

So I am very pleased to announce that the winner is

ANNE DAILY!!!

Congratulations Anne!. Have fun with your new dies.

Now onto this months challenge, which is all about 'Romance and Roses' and I have made a flower heart wreath.

To make the roses I used the Lavish Blooms Poppy die using a combination of card and crepe paper



I made the little white frilled flowers by rolling the fringe from the Mini Blooms die set


And the leaves were made using the utterly fabulous Lavish Bloom Leaves dies. Again I used card and crepe paper. There is so many variations of leaves in this one set, and if like me you like to make paper flowers this is a must have!



The 'ribbon, was made using the Beloved Boarders die


I added a little detail by adding some of the leave cut from the Rambling Rose die that was free with issue 5 of the Tattered Lace magazine.


Can't wait to see all your guys project over on the challenge blog!
