Crafter’s Companion Monthy Challenge–Gold

Hi all well the theme for the Crafter’s Companion Monthly Challenge is Gold. Inspired by our success at the Olympics this year.
This is the card I made for the challenge. It’s a gold and red card as you can see.

I have used one of the lovely new Christmas Strawberry Kisses Stamps. Isn’t that cat just so adorable!!!
I have stamped onto Neenah Card Stock and coloured using my Spectrum Noir Pens.
The Poinsettia dies and scalloped shapes are from Marianne and I have used distress inks to highlight the detailing of the embossing. I also used the same distress ink on the lace so it would tie in with the card theme.
I have used my Woodware Border punch to create the border strip and I have monted this onto gold mirror card and added two different ribbons for detail.
The backing paper on the card is from the SWALK winter collection CD. The corner plates are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

In the Night Garden

This card is for an order I have been given. The lady wanted a card with an In the Night Garden theme and Igglepiggle for her Grandson. I found images on the internet and decoupaged the bottom pannel and added peel offs to this. Igglepiggle has been mounted onto white card which I have embossed using my dotty folder in my cuttlebug and then matted this onto co-ordinating blue card stock. The base card was from my cardstock stash which I have made a 21cm square card with. I then added peel off stars to finish the card off. Thanks for looking Hugs Rachel

Birthday Card Trio

 Hello all, I'm back again with another post for you. This time I've got three cards to show you.  These are all made with products from Crafter's Companion. The 1st is another dragon card made using one of the Lee Holland Dragon stamps. I love these little characters :) I've had coloured this using spectrum noir colour blend pencils. I just love how much of a fun looking card you can make with these stamps.    Next is a card made using a unicorn stamp. This has also been hand coloured with pencils. I've also used some backing papers and matt mirror and glitter card from Sara's Enchanted forest collection. Finally I've made a card using my Crafter's Companion BeBunni CD. It's a while since I've used this cd but I forgot how cute these little bunnies are.   All of the cards have been personalised with die cut numbers and letters for the names. Hope to see you all again soon. Rachel
