Edwina.

Edwina made another very pretty card again using the Sweet Pea Stamps Digi called “Coni Fong’s Buttercup.” this time in blue and yellow with real feathers to match, so pretty Edwina, thank you. Edwina is very poorly right now and we wish her a speedy recovery.

Margreet

Margreet used a Bugaboo digi, named Flowerbird. She added some die cut embossed feathers, and this is pretty in pink too. We love it Margreet, thank you.

MONICA

For my easel card, I used "A little bird told me" design by Norma Burnell`s and provided by Sweet Pea Stamps.

Doris

 

Here is my today´s project, this time I made card using the Heather Valentine´s Summer image, courtesy of Sweet Pea Stamps.

Cazzy

I used Chickz - Cool Chick from Bugaboo on my card, and real feather again. I didn't have green or denim blue feathers - these were pale blue and I applied Promarker pens to them to change the colours!
Thank you Gaby for being a wonderful team member, and I wish you all the best. I will say a proper goodbye next week.
Lyn
We're going to miss you Gaby! Here's my cards....better late than never, so I've added them both to the reminder. I've used Bugaboo snowman images

This is Snowman Skates. I've sort of 3D-ed him, his hat, nose and skates, coloured him with Promarkers and added Stickles Glitter Glue. One of my backing papers also has feathers on it.

This is my second card. I've used some cute Bugaboo penguins sitting on a bench, called Little-Penguin-Winter--winter-bench, some lilac/ lilac and white PinkPetticoat backing paper, lilac card, silver miri card, silver snowflake peel offs, white snow flakes, some sparkly gems, white eyelash wool, Stickle Glitter, purple feathers and flower buds (yes they are purple not blue!) and a Merry Christmas peel of sentiment

GUEST DESIGNERS

Edwina

 I am using a Sweet Pea Stamps Digi called “Coni Fong’s Buttercup.”
The digi is colored with Copics. The feathers are by Creatology. The  background is embossed with a Darice Embossing Folder called Woodgrain. I thought it looked like a feather design. The ribbon butterfly I made myself with a piece of floral wire, 2 pieces of ribbon 3” long and a crystal gem.  The flowers are by Wild Orchid Crafts. The card is 5” x 6 ½”.

Margreet

Margreet used Sandra Caudwell's Glamour Chick from Sweet Pea, with real feathers and a lovely colour combination. Nice one Margreet.
Ledia

My project is to use a cloud embossing folder where you use white ink to give depth to the clouds and use the beautiful digi Birthday Bird Trio from Bugaboo, I love my card. (We love it too Ledia).

I`m not a Halloween fan, but I love Autumn. It is my favorite color palette. For my make I used this beautiful silhouette "Tending The Vines" design by Floppy Latte and provided by our generous sponsor.

This is my idea for this challenge, I made a frame, because I love it. I used the lovely and cute image Edward & Bella, provided for our sponsor Stitchy Bear.

Sorry I'm late again, I was away with family for the weekend and busy last week so I didn't get my card made in time.
I used two of IkeSart images merged to make my dungeon scene: Castle Room and Skelly Gossip. To this I added some bat sequins and some Tim Holtz spiders and webs and the sentiment.
