Stampin Chic 'Limited Supplies' Challenge #2

Happy Easter Peeps!
Well, this morning my fridge was half empty, but come midday look how full it was! lol. :O)


No, I am not that greedy, honestly, they are mainly Tyler and Adam's but 3 of the eggs are mine. I think it'll be chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next..month.

Anyway, back to this week's challenge over on the stampin' chic blog (see linky to the right). This week the challenge is to limited to one shape to use throughout the card. I decided on a rectange which I used for the shape of the card blank, image, length of ribbon and the insert design.
Brown and green is not my ultimate colour combo but it suited the Penny Black image I had. The spotty brown paper is from CCSR-Big One pack but I coloured some of the white spots in green and pink with promarkers.



Papers: Spotty brown paper -CCSR Big One Pack, Brown Card - Core'dinations Chocolate Collection, Green Card - Core'dinations, card blank made from card in stash
Stamps: Penny Black frog image - gift from DC member, flower stamp - elzybells.co.uk from the celebration sheep stamp set
Embellishments: PM flower punch, PM white flowers, PM pastel mini brads, ribbon - from stash.
Right, I must get back to job hunting now :o(.
Enjoy the rest of your long weekends!
Love, Trix

Mother's Day Hedgy..

Helloo my crafty friends!
Sorry it's been a week since my last posting but have been busy applying for jobs since I found out I'll be jobless by June if I don't find something else soon. :o(
Well, most men will be crowding out Clinton Cards tomorrow trying to find a Mother's Day card for their mums (funny that lol) but not my boyfriend - why would he when his girlfriend is a cardmaking addict hehe! So, here is my creation (from him) lol.
Quite a simple design really, although still took me a bit of time to make for some reason.



Ingredients:
Inks: Whispers ink pad - black and lavender; versamagic chalk ink pad - pixie dust (used on flowers)
Stamps: Penny Black Hedgehog with flowers; CCSR - doodles; Doodlebug - rub on transfer sentiment
Embellishments: flower charm - ebay; black jewels - Papermania
Ribbons: Gingham black ribbon - local haberdashery
Shapes: Spellbinders Nestabilities - standard and scalloped circles
Pens: Promarkers - Rose Pink, Lilac, Lemon, Satin, Cinnamon, dusky pink, meadow green

Thanks for stopping by!
Love, Trix
