Here is my Card for our sponsors.

The image I used this week is Egg Tower and I coloured it using my promarkers.  I used a spellbinders die from the card creator range - A2 Fancy Ribbon Ribbon.  I went round the edge with Spun Sugar distress ink.  The papers I used was from Papermania Colossal Paper Pack, Easter Themes and I also used spun sugar around the edge.  My sentiment is from a stamp set I purchased while I was in florida its from Hero Arts code is C498 and is cut out with a labels twenty eight die.  The Silver mirror swirls that are under the flowers are from the Jewel Flowers and Flourishes Die set from Spellbinders and the Corners are also a spellbinders die set called Frame One from the Die-D Lites range.  The flowers are stamped from the Majestic Morning Blooms set HCPC3580, Vintage Morning Background set from Heartfelt Creations and cut them out with the co-ordinating die, with flat back pearls for centres.

Brown Sugar Challenge.

Our theme this week is Paper Piecing

Front

This is a kinda DL card with about 1 and 1/4 cut away to show the inside of the card (see below) using up the left over free paper from my last project I got in a magazine.  I used and Martha Stewart border punch on both sides of a piece of blue card stock and a narrow strip of hessian ribbon down the center, with two little fasteners from pinflair.   The image was printed on white card stock and die cut with a spellbinders labels and paper pieced with the same back ground paper.  this was them mounted onto a piece of brown card stock and embossed with a cogs embossing folder.  the sentiment  was from lily of the valley round sentiments and punched out using a stampin up punch.

Inside

I put in a white insert with a happy Father's Day sentiment stamped onto a white card stock again die cut with a spellbinders label die and inked around the edge with vintage photo.  I also attached a piece of the backing paper down the outside of the insert.

Storage for my Masks

Hi everyone

Was watching Ali Reeve on a recording I had from create and craft and she was showcasing a

little storage container for the 6 x 6 mask she produces.  As usual by the time I got round to watching it

the items were sold out.  Being one of those people with very little patience waiting on things coming back into stock I decided to make my own version.
