Penny Black Green Card

Green isn't a colour that I would normally use, but I made this simple card for a friends Birthday and also for the Arty Girlz Challenge #22 The challenge this week was to use green on your card. I used some dark green cardstock and then added yellow paper which I punched down the side using a border punch and then on top of that I put Anna Griffin scrapbook paper, again which I punched down the side. I then used one of my Penny Black stamps and stamped onto a piece of white cardstock and watercoloured using pencils. I then matted and layered the image and also did another set of matting and layering and used a Happy Birthday peel off. I will have to get some green ribbon and attach it on the left hand side

Sunday Stampers Week 3 and Arty Girlz Challenge #21

Well I haven't done much crafting at all this past week I think I must have misplaced my mojo. On a good point, I found out very late that it was someone's Birthday on Sunday so I needed to make a card. I didn't have a clue what to make - anyway, Hels set the new Sunday Stampers Challenge so I combined ideas and came up with this. The rules for this weeks challenge was that you had to stamp and also decoupage part of the stamped image. This card also meets the criteria for the Arty Girlz Challenge 21 which is "stamping"

I used a Crafty Individuals stamp and stamped it on cream cardstock and I then stamped a Paper Artsy stamp twice and decoupaged the butterfly. I stamped Happy Birthday and matted and layered using cream and dark blue card and then to finish it off I added some ribbon down the side. Hope you like what I made - I thought it was a very busy card when I'd finished it, but I do like it, hope you do to.
