A bit of a challenge

I do like a challenge every now and then and was recently asked to make a card for a lady who loves to take part in Triathlons. I reluctantly accepted but had no idea where to start so I just did a Google Image search for Triathlon and that gave me the idea to use the road sign style for the images. I struggle with sentiments so decided to make some of my own on the pc and have used my punch to cut it out and then inked the edges. I wanted to keep it quite girly so I picked the gorgeous dotty paper (Epsom) and worked from those colours. I think its turned out quite well and I'm sure she wont get any others like it!

The same lady then asked me to do a card for a couple who are celebrating their Ruby Wedding Anniversary and wanted something to do with caravans...luckily I have just bought this stamp by Paper Nation and this is my first go with it.

I was just having a look through my box of cards and there were a couple more I found that I hadnt quite finished but I noticed I hadn't uploaded any pics of them yet. These were really quick and simple to make but I really like them. I think the layout is really effective. I created the sentiment myself on the pc.

I think this is my favourite one. I love the swiss dots embossing folder. I've used bazzill criss cross card stock and have just inked the edges and embossed with hollographic powder to give it a little sparkle.

The papers used on this one are from Shabby Princess.

I love the colour of this card. Its from the Swimming Pool Trio. Again I've embossed the card this time with the Textile folder.



And last but not least is a little blue number which has been embossed with the Perfectly Paisley embossing folder.

I think that'll do for today! I'm off to get ready now as I'm taking my little boy to play at the Wacky Warehouse today, I did have other plans but this rain has put a stop to them! Bring back the sunshine...please
