Our first challenge starts at http://thisthursday.wordpress.com/ today and the Challenge is

" Fresh"

the colour green just throws the word "Fresh" at me so I made my DT Cards Zing with green!!

Our first Sponsor is http://www.craft4creation.co.uk/ and they have supplied us with a wonderful prize of 3 Colourbox Queue Cats Eyes stacks!

Or first Guest Designer int he amazingly talented Rosie form http://alteredartandstuff.wordpress.com/

On my first card I have stamped the same image several times over my CS with Fresh green pigment ink and heat embossed with Clear EP. Then onto a piece of whit card I stamped the flower stem and embossed as before. then I stamped the same flower image 3 times and decoupaged over the end of the stem. On the last layer Ive added some beads for texture.

Ribbon to trim and then matted onto card with foam pads. This card I have stamped and embossed in the same way, edged the matted card with the same colour.
