"For this weeks challenge we would like you to follow a recipe, you can of course add more embellishments etc to your creations but please make sure to use all of the ingredients in the recipe on your creations, and of course not forgetting to use at least one item from BasicGrey"
Ingredients
2 Patterned papers
1 Button
1 Ribbon and Bow
3 Brads
This is what I managed to "cook" up this week !
The two patterned papers are BasicGrey Euphoria, one of which I edged with my Martha Stewart punch (as you do !).
The button is a BasicGrey button but I am not sure which collection this is from.
The two ribbons are from my stash. I think the blue one came from Cleo Crafts.
The three little button brads I think maybe Dovecraft ones (sorry to be so vague !).
The image is House Mouse, Happy Hoppers "Balloon Journey" which I coloured with my ProMarkers. I used some glossy accents on the balloons.
The blue and yellow card are from the new Papermania stack (this is great and so handy and the colours are gorgeous). I added some doodled stitching which is just as bad as me being let loose on a sewing machine !!
I also decorated the inside of the card too with some more Euphoria paper and that pesky punch again !
Yellow card from the Papermania stack and a sentiment from DoCrafts.
I'm looking forward to visiting you to sample your creations this week. At least it won't be fattening !!
Please also pop into the blogs of my fellow team mates. It always amazes me how different our creations can be to one another and what a talented bunch of lovely ladies I am working with.
On that note I would like to say huge congratulations to my team mate Anthea who has also had her work published in the BasicGrey gallery. Well done that girl !! You can see her cards here and here.
Hope you all have a great weekend and find some time for some crafting !
Yes - I gotta put up with u again!
ReplyDeleteNot difficult, in fact a pleasure.
Can't wait - it's great to be in at the ground (or whatever that saying is).

Gorgeous - I love the way you've coloured Hoppy on his baloon ride - those baloons are amazing. Love the colours you've used also.

Fabby card Jo, so pretty! You're such a good girl decorating the insides as well, I keep on forgetting!! I think the ribbon is yummy and will be on the lookout for something similar when I go to Hobbycraft later. Told myself my spending limit today is just a tenner........ game on!!

Absolutely beautiful card Jo, it's so fresh and pretty and your colouring is stunning. I love how you made the balloons glossy and your faux stitching looks brilliant, I thought it was real sewing. The inside is so pretty too and I agree with you about that mat stack, the colours are yummy. Chris x
