I have never entered a challenge on the Do Crafts site but I thought why not??? This weeks challenge was to take inspiration from a picture, we could take to colours the shapes anything that inspired us so this is what I did! I created a shape card using DS and SYI. The black base is 5" in shadow, I then cut 5 other layers reducing then by 1/4" each time. To give the layers added dimension I curled the edges of the petals. The centre is cut from sweet treats and enbossed with swiss dots using my big shot. Finally my little lady bug is cut from doodle charms, the black spots are filled in with glossy accents for a bit of shine and He has some googly eyes so he can see x x

I have been busy this morning, as I couldn't get to the PC as my Hubby was working from home so I put my time to good use and made some cards!!! My first card today is a new home card which I have made using the Sweet Hearts Cart which Julie has very kindly let me borrow for a few days! The car is A5 in size and the background papers are from Bo Bunny, I have hidden the join with some self adhesive ribbon from HobbyCraft and punched the bottom with my Martha Stewart Punch. The bird house is cut using SYI. I cut is from plain brown card to match the base card and then more Bo Bunny card, I have embossed the brown base using the sizzix texture plates ( they are not brilliant ) In the window I have stuck some old ribbon so it looks like curtains ( so cute ) Finally the ret is cute form sweet hearts and the papers are all Bo Bunny ( except the Love Nest - that is plain pink cardstock )
