November challenge

some of my Paper Doll friends have sent me their cards for the challenge I set for this month and here they are....

 

Firstly Kerry decided to use

 

A background from her part done box.
 A topper from her part done box.
Buttons.
Ribbon.
A stamp she'd never used before.

 

and this is the result....

 

well done Kerry on using bits from your part done box and a neglected stamp :o)

 

Gillian used

flowers

metal butterfly

metal buckle

piece of a jigsaw

and some ribbon

 

with this result....

 

 

you cannot see it very well in the photo but their is some subtle stamping added to the background card (think you can just make it out in the left hand top corner - looks very classy.

 

 

Sylvi went for

a feather

buttons

brads

flowers

and beads

 

and another fab result...

 

such a lovely blend of autumnal colours - well done Sylvi.

 

 

Chrissie selected

a handmade topper

flock paper

rub on stars

a peel off

and a card flower

 

and this beauty materialised...

 

 

 

 

 

Less in more, but not all the time.

I wanted to set another challenge for some of my Paper Doll friends and decided to go away from my normal less is more style to a really OTT, throw everything at the card style.  I rummaged through my stash and selected 5 random items..

Black Guipure Lace

White Flower Trim

Black Card

Pink Gemstones

Cerise Feathers

 

I worked out how I wanted to use each of the items before I really decided how I wanted this card to look, then I simply had to rummage through my stash again and found these 3 toppers which went so well with the colours and completed the look I was after.  For once More is definately More.
