Pretty Paper
Ok, 2 more cards from the Week 3 challenge on another forum that I'm on. This one is from a sketch from Pagemaps.com now I couldn't decide which paper to use, so I made both. I also got a new toy today that I've been playing with. A light cube to photograph my cards. So much fun, but you'll have to bare with me for a while until I get the lighting correct.
Hope you like them

Spinner Card
It's been a very long time since I've made a spinner card, and I was feeling inspired today. So while watching Tomb Raider on the laptop....mmmm Daniel Craig....sorry, where was I?? I created this.
The more I use this set, the more I like it. If you haven't seen this set before, it was our gift from the company, for us Aussies it will be in the next Idea Book and Catalogue as a Level 3 hostess set. The new Catalogue is out on the 1st April, if you'd like to put your name down for one, please email me and I'll add your name to the list. And don't forget you get a free catty if you host a workshop!
Materials Used.
Stamp Set - Time Well Spent
Ink - Perfect Plum, Jet Black StazOn
Cardstock - Pale Plum, Perfect Plum, Very Vanilla
Accessories - Watercolour Wonder Crayons in Soft Subtle, Stampin Dimensionals, 1/2 inch circle punch.

Another Challenge
This card is for a challenge over at essentailbaby.com.au (an Australian mother and baby site). A cardmaking challenge has been set up, basically a sketch a week, this week's sketch was by Becky Fleck. A lovely card sketch that I really enjoyed doing. Although I'm not too sure how happy I am with the card, I might have to give it another go this afternoon with some bright and beautiful colours.
All materials used are Stampin' Up!
Stamp Sets - Wild Rose, Warm Words
Cardstock - Cranberry Crisp, Basic Black, Mellow Moss, Recollections Designer Paper
Inks - Mellow Moss, True Thyme, Cranberry Crisp, Bravo Burgundy
