Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes + Lemon Yellow!

Good Morning!

I'm back with a Magnolia card today for our brand new challenge at PAPERTAKE WEEKLY which is Anything Goes with the Option of using the colour Lemon Yellow due to it being Shrove Tuesday soon.

After clearing out some of my craft stash recently I came across some sadly neglected sentiment stamps by LOTV which of course I had to use on today's card!

Weekend Giveaway Winner!

Good Morning!

This week I thought I would post the Giveaway Winner's name in a seperate post instead of including it with today's card. Even though I mention that the Winner is revealed in the title it seems most people miss it so hopefully this will stop this happening! 

So without further ado the Winner of Weekend Giveaway No.4 is ....

J&C Creations - Life is Beautiful!

Good Morning!

This month at J&C CREATIONS BLOG we shall be moving on from focusing on certain brands and moving more towards different craft basics and showing how versatile they can be! This week we will be focusing on Ranger Tags in various sizes! These tags come in a selection of Manilla, Kraft & Black in 3 different sizes. However they are also available in larger sizes and today I am using one of those, the #10 in Kraft. I wanted to make a tag that was quite straight forward to those of you that are new to them!

To create my tag I cut a strip of white card that fit in the centre of the tag and mounted it onto some black, with only the sides of the black showing.  Before glueing together I stamped two flowers from the Penny Black Set 'Petal Party' down the white card in varied positions. I coloured the flowers in using 3 different Distress Markers and a Water Brush. Once complete I glued the pieces of card together with a strip of ribbon in-between then onto the tag, punching through the hole at the top again using a Crop-a-Dile. Next I added some Glossy Accents over the top of the flowers to give them some more definition and left to dry.

Once the Glossy Accents had set I tied the ends of the ribbon around the back of the tag fixing down with some tape. I then tied a bow through the strip on the right with another piece of ribbon and attached a Metal Charm with Glossy Accents in the centre, finishing with Liquid Pearls.

Using the Sentiment from the Stamp Set I stamped it down the bottom right of the tag and fixed some Dew Drops at the top. To make the left side of the tag different I pressed an Emboss It Ink Pad all down the side and sprinkled some White Chunky Embossing Powder by Stampendous on top.

To complete the tag I threaded some more ribbon through the top and attached a safety pin and charm through the centre.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

J&C Creations - A Hobbyart Birthday Scene!

Good Morning!

I am back today with another card for the J&C CREATIONS BLOG using some Hobbyart Stamps! I have used exactly the same sets as what I used on Monday's card but I wanted to create something completely different. I have actually created a scene on the front of the card which is actually something I don't do that often! I love the classic feel it has given this card though. I didn't add any further embellishments as I wanted the whole focus to be on the design.
