Keep It Simple at Allsorts - Challenge #773/4

 Hi Crafters,

This week at Allsorts we are

KEEPING IT SIMPLE

so we would love to see your projects with a clean and simple feel to them or you can of course go with the Anything Goes option.

I have made a Wedding card using this lovely page from a Hunkydory Book of images which I die cut using a Tattered lace Frame die.

Prizes are from Highlight Crafts and Stamp Addicts

This is a 2 week challenge this time to accommodate Easter so you have plenty of time to enter with a new project. Please remember to link your project to our challenge blog to be eligible for a chance to win a prize.

Have fun!

Wedding Horseshoe

Hi Crafters,

Yesterday I shared with you a Wedding Keepsake Box, today I have the lucky Horseshoe that went with it.

I used an MDF horseshoe from Anna Marie Designs and painted it white, then added the silver print paper and lots of pearls. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, Anna Marie Designs and my stash.

After this photo was taken I added a banner across the horseshoe with the names of the happy couple and the date of their wedding day.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Moving Along with the Times - #78 Texture

Craft-Dee Bowz - August - ATG +Bow

Take care,

Lorraine

Passion For Promarkers Challenge #403 - Add Pearls

Hi Crafters,

Another Tuesday has come around again and so we have a new challenge starting at Passion for Promarkers.

Add Pearls

To qualify for the prize from Uniko Stamps who are offering a (in stock) stamp set of your choice, you must firstly follow the theme and use your Winsor Newton (formerly Letraset) markers.

I had a commission for a rather unusual Wedding card recently. The recipients love to spend time in their caravan and so this was the theme of their card. I managed to find this Woodware stamp set and thought the caravan and banner were perfect. I coloured them to match in with the gold and cream of the papers and lace and added a little touch of Wink Of Stella clear pen for a shimmery look. Hopefully the second picture shows this for you.

Steampunk Trio

Hi Crafters,

I have been having a sort out in my craft room (a bigger job than I first thought, lol) and came across these fabulous Steampunk toppers from Kanban Crafts that I had forgotten about so I made a few cards with them.

Together with some cog papers, X-Cut and MB cog dies and sentiment stamps I created these cards. I'm really pleased with how they turned out but then again I'm a little biased towards the subject :)

That Craft Place - Steampunk

NBUS Challenge - #5 ATG (NBUS - Kanban Toppers)

Creative Inspirations - #326 Vintage

Crafty Friends - #14 'B' is for...'BRIDE'

See you soon,

Lorraine
