BasicGrey - challenge #4

The challenge over on BasicGrey challenge blog this week is a sketch.

Here's my take on the sketch:

For this card i have used BG Archaic paper, alpha stickers and chip stickers.

I really do love this paper and whilst i had it out i thought i'd make up a couple more cards to use up some of the scrap bits. I then remembered that there was a dinosaur stamp that would be perfect to go with these papers so i pinched it from stock..........lol. Think it is made by Hero Arts.

(not a good idea for me to stamp straight onto the card cause as you can see my text is a little wonky - not to worry though as this card will go in the box for when it's one of my kids friends birthday..........lol)

New Home

I made this card the other day and again i am experimenting with making use of white space on my cards. As with my home i would love the minimalistic look, the same with some of my cards but i have yet to get the balance right on both my home and cards...........lol. I will keep trying!!

Over on House Mouse & Friends the challenge this week is:

Hi everybody, I am Janneke from the Netherlands and this week
it was my turn to think about the challenge for you.
And this week's challenge is:

TAGS

I doodled the sketch for my card whilst watching tv at the beginning of the week so i thought with that bit done it would be real quick to get it made up..............I was soooooooo wrong!! It took me ages to choose which paper would work, then i didn't have a stamp suitable so i ended up using part of a stamp. I put the whole card together (which i was quite happy with) then, i had to go and spoil it by handwriting on the tag!! there was too much 'space' on there so i tried to fill it with a little metal flowers and doodles............I don't like it but never had time to change it. Perhaps that will teach me for leaving things till the last minute!!

Anyway, enough blabbing and moaning from me - here's my card:


Ooooooo - almost forgot to add that there is a super prize up for grabs this week donated by alota rubber stamps. Hope you can join in. xxx
