This was fun to make as it was different. I had some flower embleshiments tha I wanted to use I found this paper in my stash and put the two together. I chalked the edge of the card after I had cut it to define it from the back bit and then finished it off with a printed out Birthday greeting double mounted.<br /><br />As you can tell I was busy for her birthday and also that butterflies are her favourite!!!<br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1235666585153928882-124977900228456766?l=craft-duo.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisa Patton and Pat Cooneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790842519039740947noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235666585153928882.post-91073155795487993172009-04-14T12:48:00.000-07:002009-04-14T13:02:47.340-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H2J7RtcVnK0/SeTqp3tgXcI/AAAAAAAAACc/KXfju35jxiY/s1600-h/BILD0029.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324638664509119938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 245px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H2J7RtcVnK0/SeTqp3tgXcI/AAAAAAAAACc/KXfju35jxiY/s320/BILD0029.JPG" border="0" /></a> Challenge 6 - Monochrome Madness.<br />This is card I have done for my mother-in -law to give to her daughter for her birthday. This was inspired by your challenge. She is very happy with it and I was too. The card is cutout down the edge to reveal a glitter card band. On the front I used a mixture of sliver peel off butterflies coloured in black ink and silver pen and three 3D decorative peel off butterfly stickers. The braid down the edge is a finishing touch I added and then I printed out the words and double mounted them in glitter card and black card.<br /><br />Hope you like!!

This is a card for Grandma, My children call their grandma 'Mama' so this was made for her on her birthday. It is patterned strips from Papercraft and all I have done is punch out lots of different sorts and sizes and laid them out together as a cluster. I then topped some of them with gems to give a sparkle. The word mama is froma co-ordinating strip and then I used a happy birthday peel-off.<br />Enjoy!<br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1235666585153928882-6114377035144544917?l=craft-duo.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisa Patton and Pat Cooneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790842519039740947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1235666585153928882.post-39440208018748745772009-04-04T06:32:00.000-07:002009-04-04T06:40:25.962-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H2J7RtcVnK0/SddiT_9jEcI/AAAAAAAAABE/66V6HjNcZp0/s1600-h/VAL109.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320829580488151490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 277px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H2J7RtcVnK0/SddiT_9jEcI/AAAAAAAAABE/66V6HjNcZp0/s320/VAL109.JPG" border="0" /></a> H is for Heart...<br />This is our card for the ABC challenge.
