About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.

Art by Miran challenge 11 and other challenges

Challenge 11 at Art by Miran is anything goes
http://artbymiranchallenge.blogspot.ca/ 
I have used one of her lovely images I won in the last challenge

Yesterday I sprayed white card with dylusions sprays, added salt and left overnight to dry. I have just learnt this salt water technique on challenge 1 at   http://101watercolor.blogspot.com.au/
Today after wiping off the salt I punched flowers and butterflies to use as embellishments for their challenge two.
I embossed patterned paper from Prima Firefly collection 6x6 paper pad with Crafts Too butterflies embossing folder and layered onto green card.  I printed out Art by Miran digi stamp digi girl 105 Rosy Cheek Emma onto white card, coloured with markers, cut out and layered onto paper.  Stamped Stampin Up Happy birthday onto another piece of the salt water paper, cut out with oval punch and layered onto paper.  Added punched flowers and butterflies.

I would also like to enter this card into the following challenges
