Some more cards...

I still can't seem to get off this card making challenge kick and am thoroughly enjoying it but I'm now making so many cards I have nowhere to put them all! I'm also quite late uploading a lot of them as I decided to read a book at the weekend, Dream Warrior by Sherrilyn Kenyon, and couldn't put it down, literally, until I finished it and then I started on Pride by Rachel Vincent and couldn't do anything else until I had finished that one either, so it kind of took all my blogging time away from me LOL

My first card this week is for Stacey's Curtain Call #21 to use Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke, Barely Banana and Whisper White, for Crazy For Challenges #28 to make a masculine card, for Stamp With Us' theme challenge to also make a man's card and for Sketch 'n' Color's challenge #2 - the sketch.

Recipe:

Stamps: Voila

Papers: Always Artichoke, Barely Banana, Whisper White, Certainly Celery DSP

Inks: Basic Black, SU Markers in Barely Banana, Blush Blossom, Certainly Celery and Always Artichoke

Accessories: Certainly Celery grosgrain ribbon, Martha Stewart border punch

My next card is for Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge #271 and for Stampin' Royalty's Challenge #10 to use only greens and a limited amount of neutral colours. (My Stampin Royalty card entry for last week won one of the Royalty Goddess picks which was a lovely surprise!) Lots of green has been used this weekend, due to all the St Patrick's day challenges, but as I don't celebrate it I've used the colours for other things!

Recipe:

Stamps: Circle Circus, Sincere Salutations

Papers: Garden Green, Certainly Celery, Whisper White, Old Olive DSP

Inks: Garden Green, Certainly Celerly, Old Olive

Accessories: Old Olive Satin Ribbon (this stuff is gorgeous and coming out soon in the UK), Green Dew Drops

My next card is for Just Us Girls Challenge #24 to make a flap card and for Sweet Stampin' Challenge #17 to use Certainly Celery, Barely Banana, Sage Shadow and Blush Blossom.

This is the closed card. The flap doesn't quite close as well as I wanted because I didn't have any magnetic closures so had to use velcro which would then have been paced in the middle of my stamped front. As it is I think it's too low down but it looked worse nearer to the fold.

This is the card with the flap opened - you can see what I mean about the velcro here.

And this is the inside of it.

Stamps: Garden Dream (called Dream A Little in the US catalogue)

Papers: Certainly Celery, Barely Banana, Sage Shadow, Blush Blossom, Whisper White

Inks: Sage Shadow, Certainly Celery, SU Markers in Certainly Celery, Blush Blossom, Apricot Appeal and Barely Banana

My next one is for Mercy's Sketch #64, Just Add Ink #8 Easter Challenge and SCS CC261 to use Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery and Melon Mambo. I made a cute little 4x4" card for this one and love how it turned out.

Up next is the card I made for my Mother-in-Law for Mother's Day which was on Sunday March 14th here in the UK. She loves sunflowers so I had to use them for her card. It's also for Papertake Weekly Challenge #36 - the sketch, A Passion For Papertrey's Spring Clean challenge - to use something you bought ages ago and have never used (I bought the banana ribbon about 2 years ago from Taylored Expressions and it has never come out of its little bag before!) and SCS CC13 to use Barely Banana, Summer Sun and Chocolate Chip.

And my final card for today is my own mum's Mother's Day card using Carol's Sketch Fun  #22, ColourQ's #23 to use Tangerine Tango, Crushed Curry, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive and Whisper White and for Charisma Cardz #10 to use butterflies. I did stick on the wrong orange ribbon though and didn't realise until I was writing my recipe out - oops! (That's what happens when you watch American Pie 2 whilst making cards LOL)

Papers: Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White
