Double Post, double prizes!


Today I am sharing my midway post for our
 challenge at
where the theme is feminine along with option anything goes.
Just remember to STAMP something!!

We do have an amazing prize up for grabs
so be sure and get your entries in.

For my book style card I used a hammered white card for the base.
I cut an inch of check paper for the side,
embossed two lines either side of it and stuck in place.
I added two eyelets and tied some white ribbon
through them.
For the image I stamped the background in sweet sorbet ink,
then over stamped some black polka dots.
I then stamped the two shoes onto matching
and co ordinating papers,
cut them out and paper pieced them, adding some black
to the heels and insoles.
They were then stuck in place.
The sentiment was stamped directly onto the base.

Items used
Dress to Impress stamp set (SU)
Country Gingham papers (SU)
Sweet Sorbet ink pad (SU)
Eyelets and ribbon from stash.

I would like to enter this into

For my midway post over at
where the theme is four legged friends,
I have made a shaped easel card.


I cut my base and top card using dies from
Tattered Lace.
The Country Gingham papers were on my desk
so I used them again for this card,
alternating the checks inside and out.
The dog was stamped using a very old stamp from
Home & Heart and he has been coloured using
my pencils and sansodor.
The sentiment is from a set called
Approaching Perfection (SU) and cut
using the same die set.
I found a very old paw print stamp so used that
in the corners.
Think it was QVC a long time ago!!!

We have two lovely prizes up for grabs
so be sure and get your entries in.

  22. So cute! This dog looks really cute. Beautiful die-cut for this easel card. And a great design with the paws and the lovely sentiment. I love the paper, too. The pink of the paper and gray of the dog go so well together.
    Thank you for sharing this beautiful card in the current Everybody Art Challenge.
    Hugs, Uschi
