Ali-Craft DT - An Autumn tag for the Monthly Challenge

Hello Everyone! The 4th Ali-Craft Blog Challenge launched yesterday, our theme this month is Autumn and I have made a tag which I decorated with Distress inks in Autumnal shades.

I stamped the tag with some stamps from the Artistic Outpost Happiness set which is available here from Ali-Craft.  I added some leaves which I coloured with Distress inks, some rolled roses and jute ribbon from The Ribbon girl and various other bits and bobs from my stash.
I hope you have a lovely Monday!

Ribbon Girl DT - July Colour Challenge - Blue and White

Hello again! I am back with my DT card for this month's colour Challenge on the Ribbon Girl Blog. Our colour theme this month is 'Blue and White' a lovely cool combination in this hot weather! 

I have used some My Mind's Eye papers and made a card without a coloured image which is something I do not do often! I used a sentiment from the Artistic Outpost Happiness set. I stamped it onto white card and then die cut it into a circle and inked around the edges when it was still in the die.

I embellished my card with lots of Ribbon Girl goodies. I have used:

• Pastel buttons
• Blue rolled roses
• Blue lace
• Blue hemp twine
• White satin ribbon
• Stick on pearls
• Large Butterfly charm
• Mini blossoms
• Cherry blossoms

 I had some papers left over so decided to decorate a little empty chocolate box to match. I used most of the same embellishments and added a little punched butterfly too.

Here are the card and box together. I love the pretty papers, spots and stripes are my favourites!

I hope you will be able to join us for our Challenge. We have a great inspiration photo for you.

We have two fabulous prizes for our lucky winner from Lili Of The Valley and Ribbon Girl

Enjoy the rest of your Weekend! I am off to Paulton's Park today to celebrate my gorgeous God-daughter's birthday. Peppa Pig World here we come!

Ali Craft DT card for the Ali-Craft Challenge - Butterflies

Hello Everyone! It's time for a brand new Challenge on the Ali-Craft blog today and we have a lovely theme for you this time. The theme this month is 'Butterflies' and I used some gorgeous Artistic Outpost stamps from the Happiness set on my card which is available here from Ali-Craft.

I used Tattered Rose and Victorian Velvet Distress inks to create my backing paper. I first inked all over wth the lighter ink and stamped some of the stamps from the set in the same ink. I added more detail with the Victorian Velvet and also inked around the edges with this colour. I then sewed this panel on to a square of black card.

I stamped hte butterfly image onto kraft and cut it out before adding it to my card with foam pads. I then stamped the butterfly image onto white card and coloured it with alcohol markers before cutting it out and attaching it to the panel by it's body so the wings could be lifted. I then finished with some stick on pearls and a paper flower. I hope you will be able to join us for our Challenge for the chance to win a £15.00 voucher for Ali-Craft. Have a lovely Saturday!
