Hi all,
Today I am entering into the colour challenge at Just Us Girls Challenge Blog which is blue green and any neutrals as below.
I was always taught by my mum (God rest her) that "blue and green should never be seen", but this unusual colour combination tickled my fancy so much I thought why not? And after I finished the first one, I liked it so much I made another. I like the neutral window and brad that tie the two rogue colours together and the frames which were cut and mitred from a 12" x 12" patterned paper
Here are the resulting cards...
Cheers

Hey Folks,
Entering the Feeling Sketchy Challenge yet again - #97 (they always give me inspiration)
Here is the sketch
and here is my card
I made this one for my sister who is about to turn 50... woo hoo!
Layers of pink everywhere and just a bit of crystal bling to break it up subtly.
I love the design for this sketch particularly and really enjoyed putting it all together. (I think that's because my sister has such a beautiful soul.) I considered curling a feather around it, but I think it's soft enough as it is. What do you think?
Cheers

Hello,
I'm entering in a card to the Just us Girls Challenge No 250 which is Turquoise Green and Lime.
Here are the colours..
And here is the card..
There are a lot more elements to this card than I normally would include, but when I was nearing completion I realised it just works for me. I like the female and male components like the soft curve and feathers with the sharp edged cogs that are weaved in between the straight black uprights.
I dunno, what do you think?
Cheers
G'Day
Well I'll be! My Blogger has been down for a good 2 weeks and now, all of a sudden it's back up and running. How frustrating.
Oh well, I'm here to tell you about my entry into this weeks new challenge at Just us girls, which is the word challenge. They have chosen "bird" so I am entering the card below.
These are hand drawn birds, coloured using mont marte pastel pencils and the 3 layers of backing papers which depict the earth, grass and sky are from my stash. Inside I have repeated the 3 layers for continuity and it says "Fly up and party down"
Hope you like it.
Cheers

Morning all,
Two brilliant challenges at the same time addressed today.
My first inspiration is from Just us Girls with their colour scheme of Kraft, Orchid and White which I found really daunting. I found I had to get just the right amount of each colour to create harmony (to my eye.)
Here is their colours...
The other challenge is from Feeling Sketchy (#90) and here is the sketch...
Combining the two, I came up with this card, which I hope meets all the criteria...
Cheers,

Hi blogees,
Deadline for Feeling Sketchy #88 is today so I am "last minuting" this entry.
Here is the sketch and my card which is done by cutting apertures either side of the main panel to create latticework. I used 3 postcards with birds and wire images to slot in behind the lattice. I layered border punched patterned paper flower hedge and overlaid that with matching brown "fence" and matted "surprise" sentiment. Final touch is a metal bird charm and coordinating brad.
Hope you like it.
Keep up the great sketches. They keep me sane!

G'day once again and wow! I have been on a bit of a crafty binge lately what with the cooler weather starting to close in on Brisbane.
I've had a bit of a penchant for making cartoon toppers for my latest cards, so I thought I'd share them with you.
I really hope you like them.
If you do, I'll stick them up on dingoswildgreetingcards.com and you can order one.
Now, get under the doona (or for those of you who are "up-over" get into your warm weather gear) and enjoy your weekend!
