School holidays for a week - ideal time for the children as right near Halloween. Anyway, no Halloween card today but an all white card (mostly!) for the challenge at Colour Create. I managed to find some embossed card in my stash that I have had for ages - a freebie at some point - but is really lovely (I think so anyway - still hankering for a die cutting machine to do the embossing!!).
Shock horror I have actually managed to use the sketch at Midnight Madness as above. I say this because I find them very challenging - which is good but I have shied away from them in the past. Have changed the shape a bit and the placement of the flower.
The image is one I received in a candy win, but I haven't a clue who she is so if someone knows please let me know - Thanks. I coloured her with my favourite water colour crayons and glittered the daisy with my favourite crystal glitter - can you see where this is going!! I punched out two flowers in white glitter card and 3D'd them putting another favourite in the middle - a gem! The Scallop shape is from a punch and was cut in half - again punched out of my favourite white glitter card. More gems around the side. Here is another view for you.
I am really pleased with the result and here are the other challenges I have entered:-
La La Land Crafts - Sparkle (glitter and gems),
Charisma Cardz - Delightful Daisys,
Daring Cardmakers - 5 of your favourite things (Gems, glitter card, scallop punch, Water colours and crystal glitter)
Frosted Design - 3D (Flower),
Practical Scrappers - Punches and
Crazy4Challenges - 3 geometric shapes (Square card, circle with the image and two triangles).
Another card which I have enjoyed making and has used things I had forgotten about. This is what it's all about!! Please let me know what you think - I do love reading all your comments.
Thanks and hugs

What a cute card, Dragonlady. I think you did a wonderful job using the sketch and it does take a bit more imagination but it's so worth it, as the cards turn out great, look at your cute image!
