Paper Take Challenge - Die Cuts

I am not a great lover of die cuts but this tux and dress shirt has always been a good one to play with. Plus I needed a card for a young guy who thinks he is James Bond re-incarnated.

Papertake Challenge

The challenge on Papertake this week is to make a box from Claudia's tutorial and here is mine. These boxes will be really handy and I plan on adding a few bits and pieces - notelets, note book, album etc - all made to match the box, it will make a nice little present.

Papertake, Theme Thursdays & Make a Moo

I managed to 'challenge' myself and combine 3 challenges with this one. The challenge to myself was to see if I could combine 3 challenges into one and I did. The Papertake challenge this week is 'Making Waves' using curves or zig zags - the Joanna Sheen backing paper is made up of lines of zig zags in different shades of orange and orangey red. The Theme Thursday challenge is 'Orange and Black' so I continued my orange theme using orange rick rack, edging with orange ink pad and embellishing with orange and black stones. The Make a Moo challenge is 'Swirls & Flourishes' so I used my Tim Holtz large flourish stamp.

I made 3 moos and joined them together or a gold jump ring, I also added small squares of mountboard to the bottom of each moo again joining with a jump ring. The only other addition was my Live, Laugh, Love stamp which is a real favourite of mine.

PAPERTAKE AND ARTY GIRLZ

I've combined both the Papertake and Arty Girlz challenges this week. The Papertake challenge was a sketch and the Arty Girlz was chocolate plus one other colour (and white). I've used one of my Pink Petticoat images and backing papers and added a stamped cup cake to embellish.

Paper Take Challenge - Weather

The Paper Take Weekly Challenge is weather and as I had just finished this fat book page for a Paper Dolls challenge I thought it would fit the bill for Paper Take too. It's my new House Mouse stamp and I have added 3d embossing to the rain drops - which doesn't show up in the scan. I am quite pleased with this one.
