Made a diamond card this week on white card and layered and mated, the paper is from the Embossibilities Elegance CD, added some ribbon and the card mount, tryed the promarkers but not the right colour so i went over it with colorbox cat's eyes , used thistle , it looks glossy in pic but now it's dryed out it is a nice chalky finish and i added a couple of ribbons. the stamp is a digi called Noon from Crafts and me and i just love this so pretty. I hope you like it. I am entering it in two challenges this week at wings and legs at CD Sunday challenge blog and at Ribbons and bows at Totally paper crafts

It is my nieces birthday this week so i thought i would make her a card and put it into your challenge at the same time. I made a stepper card this time and was pleased with myself for getting it right first time for a change. The papers where free in a craft mag, i used silver peel-offs just to give a little shine, the center flower is from a print out from a CD and the happy birthday and flowers are cardboard . I hope both she and you like it.

This page was created is Serif's Craft artist. It was made for a challenge on Daisy Trail, this challenge is run by Sue Mclean from Annapolis USA. Sue goes under the name of "mcleansue" on the daisy trail site, she has started a group called "Getting better all the time" or GBAT. Anyone like like me who has a lot to learn in Serif's craft artist and just what it can do are more than welcome to join in. Sue sets the challenge and also supplies us with a video on the how to do. This challenge is all about brushes, making your own, making frames from brushes and word art brushes. On my page i have created four brushes, the outer frame was a dragon and used in stretch mode, then there is a word art brush used in simple mode, the paw print is in simple mode and the inner frame is a bamboo brush. The word art brushes are excellent for card makers who would like the outer frame in some sort of text.
