                PAT FRANK  has been our hostess this month. Here is the photograph she gave us for our Inspiration:
                                                      ( these two beautiful little girls are her Granddaughters!! )

                                                                Look at all the fabulous colours, shine and interest !!

                                                           I choose to do a Carousel Horse - I think many of us did :o)

                        Both my images are from DIANA'S STORE: CIRCUS TILDA #367 and CAROUSEL HORSE #433

                                                                                Here is the front of my card:

As you can see I have made my card out of Gold Card Stock.

Then I have used Bazzil Red and used a MS corner punch of Bubbles.

 I used a new Spellbinder die to cut out a purple piece of Bazzil.

My horse is coloured with Copic's as always LOL ( listed at end of post )

I have used two tickets that I purchased somewhere? a long while ago.

I have also used Gold pearls from Michaels.

The horses mane, tail and hoofs have Crystal Lacquer on them.

I have also used Dazzling Diamonds from SU for several places on the horses 'clothes'.

Here are more pictures:

The inside of my card:

Tilda has Crystal Lacquer on her shoes.

Her head band and all the lace bits of her dress have Dazzling Diamonds on them.

I used two pieces of 1/4 inch gold ribbon to pick up the gold from the card front.

Here is the right hand side of the card:

                                                      Hello everyone!

                I have had a challenge given to me by Diana to make a card using a
                                               sketch she sent to me.                
                                              Here is the picture of it :

I really quite like it.

I have used the sketch to make my card for 

MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS CHALLENGE BLOG

Colour Challenge #6

       This month at the Challenge Blog, it is PAT FRANK'S  turn to choose the            
                                             Challenges for us all. 

                  Pat's work is awesome - you should all take a look at her blog.
                                       You will love all of her cards :o)

          The COLOUR CHALLENGE for this month is : PINK and GREEN.

                            Here is the beautiful picture Pat has given us:

                                                  What a great photo!!!!

            

            I chose to use ' WAITING TILDA' from "YOU ARE SO SPECIAL'

                                           Collection - January 2011.

                                 She is number 315 at DIANA'S STORE.
                           I have also used the sentiment ' with all my love'
                                it is number 710 from the same collection
                                               at DIANA's STORE.

( Blogger has been updated and won't let me put the link in for these two images :o(
    if you go to the YOU ARE SO SPECIAL PAGE at DIANA'S STORE  and click
on page two you will find WAITING TILDA partway down the page. The sentiment 
                       is found on page 3 - second from the bottom. )

                                    Here is my card for today's Challenge: * my pictures are clickable for larger view again *

This little Tilda has had my heart since I first saw her. She reminds me of myself. Shy
              and quiet and FULL of LOVE - not quiet knowing how to say
                                                I LOVE YOU........
  Today she has finally gotten brave enough to tell that special person how she feels!

                                      Here is a picture of her close up:

                                Isn't she just the sweetest wee thing ever???

                     I also have a picture of my flower close up so that you
                            can see the Stickles I added to the centre and the
                                      Crystal Lacquer I added as drops of
                                            water to some of the petals.

                                        Here is the inside left of my card:

                                            Here is the inside right:

                    My style of card making is Clean and Simple. I hope it
  helps you all realize that you don't need to have a lot of 'stuff' on a card to make it
                  attractive and a joy to receive for those special in your life.

                        Remember that Diana gives a $25.00 Gift Certificate to the winner :o)
