Lynne's Craft Haven

Hello everyone,

It was a horrible rainy day here yesterday so I took the opportunity to make a card for the challenge at Allsorts where it is a challenge in memory of Kath, one of the DT, who sadly passed away recently.

I decided to go with the paper piecing option and used my wooden Penny Black stamp called Gossamer which I have stamped  twice and pieced with snippets of papers from a Doodlebug pad.  On the largest flowers I have doubled up on a few of the petals for added interest.  I have framed it with my Clearly Besotted frame dies and added tiny enamel dots to the centres and a few raindrops from Little Things from Lucy's cards.  The sentiment is from LOTV.

Hi Everyone

Another Christmas card from me today.  I like to do these when I haven't any birthdays/occasions coming up and I like adding snowy embellishments :).  For this one I have used a Mo Manning digi image "Valerie in Winter". You get 3 images in the set, but I like this one the best because of the dog.




I've used the Memory box frostyville border again, but this time on a dark background.  I paper pieced Valerie's clothes (a first for me) and I quite enjoyed doing that as I'm not brilliant at colouring. So all I needed to colour in was her face, boots and the little cutie dog.

The paper is from a Wild Rose Studio Milton christmas pack and the sentiment from a Woodware stamp set.  I added silver from a Gelly Roll pen to the swirls and stripes on the clothing and also on her boots.  There is some fun flock on the pom pom and I've glittered up the snowflakes from another frostyville border and added them to the card.  There's also some stickles on the snow.

Challenges I would like to enter are:
