Gothic Arch
I sprayed the background with Gold and Autumn Leaves Glimmer Mists, then tore a couple of pieces of Crafty Individuals papers and stuck to the edges. I stamped foliage around the edges, and put a Crafty Individuals bird image on the arch, and stamped a saying and attached that with brads. I finished off with some ribbon, prima and dragonfly brad.
~~~~~~~~~





Card
I stamped the Crafty Individuals 196 stamp with white brilliance ink on to black card. I cut around the image leaving a small border and mounted this on to white card. I cut a strip of black card and embossed the script with a CB folder, then wiped white brilliance ink over the embossed area. I folder over the top edge and set 2 eyelet's then threaded white ribbon through and tied a bow, I tore the bottom edge and using a little water rolled up the rough edge. I embossed a border using a score board around the edge of a white base card and mounted the black strip centrally, then using 3d foam placed the stamped image on top.

~~~~~~~~~





Card
I started by stamping the Crafty Individuals bird stamp with brown versafine. Then I restamped the image and embossed it - I then cut the frame. I then coloured the leaves in with watercolour pencils. Glossy accents were added to the bird. The bird was then matted onto holographic silver card. The background paper is from the english paper company - siesta mocha. I finished the card off with brown ribbon passed through a large brad and gold gems. The little flower at the corner of the frame is cut using a punch.
~~~~~~~~




Plaque
For this week's ribbon challenge I used the ribbon to create a hanger (or plaque) for my crafting space. I created a collage on a square card blank using Crafty Individuals papers, images and acetate, and stamped and decoupaged with a Crafty Individuals butterfly stamp. I added flowers, brads, wire, ribbon and eyelets, then attached chipboard letters to the bottom using eyelet holes and craft wire. I then threaded ribbon through the eyelet holes at the top to create my plaque to hang in my crafting space!
~~~~~~~~~





Tag
I cut out a heart shape and covered with some brown card stock embossed with my Cuttlebug - Swiss dots. I used Crafty Individuals paper, I used lots of sequins, beads, paper flowers, black & green ribbons and buttons. I used my Paperartys swirls and curls stamp. I used a Crafty Individuals image and cut out a frame for it. I distressed the edges with Vintage photo distress ink and finished off by printing out the words 'precious memories' tearing the edges of the paper and distressing with ink.
~~~~~~~~~





Card
This week the Design Team were given a little package of things from Crafty Individuals to play with. For my card I have airbrushed some orange colour on one side of the card and using the Crafty Individual background stamp that I received, I partially stamped the image on the left hand side of the card using black dye ink. I have mounted and layered three of the images along the bottom of the card and embellished with clear gems in a corner of each of the images. I added a 'Happy Birthday Greeting', some more clear gems and tied a nice bright orange satin ribbon across the top of the card.
