Just a "wow" moment

This card was inspired by a card by Lydia on altenewblog  which she called Corner-Stepped Back Sentiment Strip.  Again, I found this card by blog surfing looking for ideas.  
Do you ever make a card and go "wow" I love it.  Well, I did with this card.   I have used an Altenew stamp set and die called Christmas Rose that came with a card magazine some time ago. It is 2 step stamping. I also used an old favourite 2004 Stampin' Up! set for the thank you - it was one of the first sets I ever purchased from them called Wonderful Words - and I just can't seem to part with it.   I also, added some Perfect Pearls in Brass for that extra pop.  Thank you Lydia for the inspiration.
 Inside of the card.
The following card was the first one I made - again it uses an Altenew set called Build-a-rose.  My ladies in the group have various levels of stamping experience and this one uses a 3 step process and in the end I decided that 2 step was the most appropriate.  I love it nevertheless.
I can see me making many more of these cards to donate to the various fund-raising charities that I support.  Really quick to put together using a variety of greetings suitable for any occasion.
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.

Time stands still

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.
