I started with a card from the DCWV Sweet mat stack. I layered this on matching brown card and used a light green card as the base. Then glittered the decoration at the bottom and added gems to the centre of the flowers. I then took another sheet from the same stack and scalloped the bottom edge and matted with the same brown card as before. Next I added the sentiment and the two dragonfly friends.
Yes! That's what I thought when I saw the challenge over at 365 Cards! The task was to include "What" either on or inside your card. I really had to think about this one. Initially I was think of a Piratey them with "What! No Rum! Walk the Plank!" or something like that, and I started and it just looked a little bit silly!
So then I had another think about it! This is what I came up with!
I started with a DCWV paper and added a sticker which I first raised on 3D foam. Next I added a flat sticker and stuck the large glittery W (also DCWV) on top of this and then continued with smaller letters around the flow of the curl on the paper. To match the glittery W I finally added glitter on each of the small letters too.

So I was up at the crack of dawn today to the sound of the kittens doing the derby up and down the corridor! Now they have a collar with a bell it really is a bit of a racket when they are in full pelt! On the plus side I managed to get todays 365 Cards challenge done before heading off to work!
I started with a sheet from a DCWV matstack which I layered with silver card. I then selected a matt silver card to add 3 heart peel-offs with frames onto. Next I put another 3 hearts onto silver mirror card and cut around them leaving a border. These were then raised on the original hearts with 3D foam. I then added silver ribbon (the last that I have left!) with the sentiment: Miss You, with a heart button to the right
Although, because it is so early the light is a little bit funky in the photo! When I get home tonight I will get a better shot!
Just so you can see the terrible twosome, I have added pics of Tango and Pumpkin, on the right. They are now around 10 months old and will soon be too big to be called kittens!
I was tempted to do a fish card when the challenge was a clear card, but I'm glad I didn't as I got to do it today anyway!
I started with a piece of acetate, then added the holographic blue card on the inside of the last page, then I added a ripped piece of DCWV sand paper. I then ripped the other way on another piece for the front of the card.
I then went a bit crazy and started adding fish, squid, seaweed, shells and starfish all over the place! A very fun card to make!

While browsing some other wonderfully creative blogs I also discovered this Challenge Blog: Mojo Monday!
With a sketchy challenge, this is what I came up with! I know I didn't tilt the top mat, but can I blame that on my Virgoan nature?
I found another great challenege blog Papertake Weekly, yes, you've guessed it I have had a couple of extra hours to myself today (Simon's watching the Grand Prix!).
The challenge was to follow the above sketch, which was a joy to do! I made a slightly smaller than average card so the dimensions are a little off, but I think it looks cuter that way! In the kittens are cuter than cats and children are cuter than grown-ups kind of way!
You can't quite see it but I have glittered the decorations on the gifts and the white mat is a DCWV super glittery mat too.
The challenge of the week over at Cupcake Craft Challenges was to create a card based on the above sketch. I am still very new to stamping and have to have quite a few trys before I get it right, so I am very pleased with my little creation.
The stamp I used was by Whispers and the papers and letters are DCWV.
