A little bit of dazzle

 Here, are the cards that the ladies in my Friday community group made this past Friday. 

This card using Kaszazz Mediterranean papers and stamps.  One of the benefits of being a Kaszazz consultant is that you have access to cards created by other talented artists - in this case my thanks go to Kerry Collins for the inspiration for this card.
The greeting inside this card.  The participants really loved this clean and simple design.

Many, many years ago on one of my visits to USA I found this stamp set - Hot Air Balloon Collage by TPC Studio and it had lain in my stash for a long time unused.  Time to get it out.  I was inspired by a card Luisa Papercrafts that I found during an internet search, unfortunately I am not able to leave a thank you as it appears the link has closed, so if you are by any chance reading my blog and you are the designer thank you.   I have used Alcohol Ink Markers to colour the balloon and the sun rays.   Bling was added in the silver tape and Ranger Star Dust Stickles I used.  The clouds and the greeting have been raised with foam tape. Below, is the inside of the card.
Thank you for looking,

Margaret

January Cyberchallenge - punched flowers.

Image
Images:(c)1990-2010 Stampin'Up(r) Artwork:Margaret L Crawford Our INKlings cyberchallenges have began for 2010. Tonight our leader, Jayne is setting the challenges. Our first challenge is to use SU punches to make a paper flower and use it on a card, scrapbook page or 3D item. I have used the round scallop punch (each flower has 3 punched scallops), cut a small way into each scallop and then pushed back to create a 3-D effect then I added a rhinestone brad to the centre of each flower. I used my markers to colour the leaves and then spritzed with water before adding to card. Challenge 1 completed.

Here is another layout I have created recently.  I have decided to post it for a challenge at ARTastic - I hope they allow more than one entry as I have already done one layout for their May challenge - Scrap the Girls. This photo was taken when I met up with friends that I attended TAFE with many years ago.  We completed the Advanced Needlecraft Certificate at Hornsby TAFE and became firm friends during this time.   But as life goes on we lost contact - until Facebook got us back together 20 years later!..  They caught the train up and we had lunch and much catch up at my home before a walk on the beach.   Again here is the inspiration photo at ARTastic, the criteria Girls Only. I was further inspired by a layout by Emily Pitt found on   Debbie Hodge  from 2013 that I found whilst blog surfing. Thank you Debbie I have left some thanks for you on your blog. Thank you for looking, Margaret.
