It's so great to be able to post my first card as a design team (DT) member for 'Moving Along With The Times' (MAWTT). I have had an incredible week getting to know new people and what the expectations are of working with a new team - and what lovely people they are, so helpful and kind. Thanks girls for making it an easy transition.
So here it is using the fantastic sketch created by Hazel.
I still want to use challenges to stretch me and take me outside my comfort zone at times so I have used the theme of fairies for Gingersnap Creations, a rub on 'Happy Birthday' sentiment for the Creative Belli challenge, stitching to link with the Crafty Creation challenge, the colours raspberry, aqua, kraft and white for the Play Date Cafe and embossing for La la Land.
The image is from the Cemerony Share blog and is soo cute, the colours fitted well for the theme today. I have used a Spellbinders pendant called Fleur De Lis, to frame it. The DPs are ones I have organised into a box and not kept a note of where they come from, I shall have to try and be more careful so that I keep the same make together. The flowers I made using the Nellie Snellen punch with embosser and the stamen punch. I used DI worn lipstick and tattered rose on them to give them a more weathered, vintage look. I had to include a butterfly and a bird as they seem to almost be my trade marks on many of my cards.
Other supplies
Distress inks - Broken China, Worn Lipstick and Vintage Photo
Cosmic Shimmer Aqua Twinkles
Stickles - Star Dust
Distress Stickles - Tattered Rose
Glossy Accents
Sakura Gelly Roll glitter pen (on the stamens)
Have a wonderful day, not long before the weekend and Ella is having her 4th birthday party. I will be there.
Take care. Luv and hugs. Brenda xxxx

Morning Brenda,
ReplyDeleteFirstly congratulations on both your DT call ups. I cannot think of a more deserved person. I cannot believe the amount of cards you have posted since my last browse. Rather than post on cards individually, I will give a collective comment. You know I love your cards Brenda and these last few are no exception, they are absolutely beautiful, you still amaze me with your colour choice and your ability to CREATE such beautiful results you really have a style of your own and they are a joy to view. I see you had a good time at IOW, tyhe weather looked good too.
