Happy Monday Peoples !!

Welcome to a new challenge over at FCCB

Challenge #144

... IS ...

"It's a man's world"

(lol, thats what they think !!! he he he !!)

Our challenge is open from 0800 Monday until 2400 Sunday (SMT), please come and join us with your own project and visit the fabulous DT blogs. 

Remember to use at least one Cricut cut and name the cartridge for a chance to win a fab prize and claim a top 5 blinkie for your blog.

My card is made with Papermania Wellington papers and topper. I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder for the background cogs.

I used my favourite Stampendous embossing powders and some Tim Holtz Clear rock Candy with some ribbons and a car charm.

The papers are already distressed and I added some Pumice Stone Distress ink to blend it all together.

Mt Cricut cuts are from Artiste (I will go back to my other cartridges soon lol) I embossed the cog cuts on the front of the card and added a border strip to the inside.

It should have been pretty quick to make but for some reason it took me hours !!

I'll be back tomorrow with some exciting news and another card 

Yippee !!

Happy Birthday Ann x

April Birthday number three marks my sister Ann's tomorrow, I have used Webster's papers for a bright fresh spring like theme with some lace, velvet ribbon and antique linen distress ink to tie it all together.

The letter's are Papermania's promarkered green.

For the middle section I cut a lace border frame onto  blue paper on my Cricut ( for both the front and back) with the Elegant Edges cartridge. I then cut the centre out with a spellbinder label die and stuck the middle onto the the 3rd side of the card.

 I then made the hatpin and cut Spellbinder roses and leaves to decortate on both sides.

The frog charm is tied with string onto a small spellbinder label in silver and the smallest die created the cameo effect. There is a Marianne design corner there too.

The back is finished with a little corner pocket to keep  a gift card safe.
