Boot Shape Card

A friend gave me the template for this boot card a while back. I traced it and hand cut it - quick and simple.

The picture is not the best, there are shadows because it's overcast today. Also, I did get a little crease at the top right somehow between making the card and taking the picture. This was the last of the gold paper I had so I didn't try to remake it. I like the texture of the paper. Everything is from my stash. I wouldn't mind owning a real boot like this - check the low heel - LOL!!

I'm entering these challenges:  Virginia's View Challenge - Shape Card; Mema's Crafts - August Challenge Anything Goes; and Sisters of Craft - August Challenge Anything Goes.

Happy Birthday for a Friend

Today's card is one I made for a friend celebrating her 50th birthday last week.  My friend liked it, I'm happy to say.  I've entered it in Mema's challenge, my third and final entry.  Since I used kraft cardstock, the ink colors are muted, but they are red and blue. I rather like the muted look. Again, I photographed it outside - the light is so nice.

Supplies:  Stamps: CTMH Stamp of the Month (sometime in 2011), Friendship Alphabet; Inks: CTMH Tulip and Dutch Blue; Cardstock and Bling: My Stash

Mema's June Challenge

The June Challenge at Mema's Crafts is Just Words - no images allowed.  The words are the focal point.  I had fun with this challenge. I'm really proud of this card because I used scraps to make it.  While the design is CAS, I think the DP makes it appear less CAS than it really is.  Anyway, here's my card:

Supplies:  Cardstock: Recollections; DP: CTMH Magnifique; Ink:  CTMH Pacifica; Sentiment: CTMH I Am (promotional stamp set); Punches: Marvy Scallop Circle (1-1/2"), EK Success Circle (1"); Pearls and Brad: Recollections; Misc: Pop dots, Corner Chomper

I'm also entering this card in challenges at Make It Monday and Word Art Wednesday.
