So here is my this weeks entry for the CCS Funky Friday Challenge

I decided to make a gift cover for a bottle

I used card stock Stampin up chocolate chip cut to dimensions aprox 28cm x 9cm
A circle of summer sun card stock
Chocolate chip and versamark ink pads
simply said stamp set and the boho friend roller
clear embossing powder, a piece of chocolate chip ribbon and a gold brad

I rounded the corners and punched a circle out of the top part of the piece of chocolate chip card big enough for the bottle neck to fit into. I then scored a line aprox 8cm from the top of the card and made a fold.
I stamped and embossed the detail on the card then added a circle of summer sun where I used the emboss resist technique to create the look. I then added a cut out flower, gold brad and some ribbon for that finishing touch.

Hope you like it

Mother Nature

This is going to be my Mums birthday card :)

her birthday isn't until Sunday but she won't see it as she can't actually switch the computer on, let alone find my blog.... So I think im safe.

I used Stampin up stamp set Touch of nature

Card stock is a combination of Stampin up Handsome hunter, elegant eggplant
and some white and lilac I had lying around.
Ink used was again handsome hunter, elegant eggplant and orchid opulence
The ribbon I had in my craft box and thought it was a pretty good colour match
I used 2 punches I had, both fiskers to create the side borders and added some jewels for that touch of bling.

Hope Mum will like it and hope you like it too

Clearly out of ink

Funky Friday Challenge #41

Well this challenge was not as easy as I thought it would be. I had the colour card stock but as yet have none of the ink pads to match... Must remedy that!

So here is what ive come up with.

I used Stampin up card stock colours: More mustard, pretty in pink, garden green, rose red and white. The stampin is also stampin up and from the One of a kind stamp set. I also used a couple white buttons I had lying around and the stampin up punch to match the one of a kind stamps.

Hope you like the results :) Lyn xx

Hearts and Dragonflies

So here it is.... My first attempt at the Cornwall Crafty Stamper Funky Friday challenge

I used Stampin up card stock chocolate chip and close to cocoa and also a sheet of gold I had lying around my craft room. The ribbon is Stampin up 1/4" grosgrain ribbon in very vanilla and the stamp sets used were garden silhouettes and simply said.

I used versamark ink and a sakura gel pen to get the clear embossed look. The dragonflies are gold peel offs backed together to give dimension.

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by
