We are spoilt for choice and have two boards for you to go at, I have chosen the pink board.

Two One Stop Craft Challenge Cards

Hello everyone, hope your all well. It has been a beautiful day here in the uk, I have got loads of gardening done and seeds planted. Had a very bad night though last night which resulted in my getting a migrane. Our first parrot that we got Polly passed away at 3 this morning. We are so sad and upset about it, the boys are going to miss her so much too. She was old though and did have a good life. I just cuddled her towards the end and made her comfortable as possible.

Anyway last weeks OSCC was to add buttons, I did make a card but didn't upload it to my blog. We were sponsored by Fred She Said and I used a gorgeous digi from they're store which was flowers and frames. I curled the flower edges and used silicone glue to add dimension.

My second card is for this weeks One Stop Craft Challenge. We are sponsored by The Ribbon Girl and Bugaboo Stamps and the theme is Mothers Day. Here is my card using one of Bugaboo Stamps.

I do hope you will all join in this weeks OSCC. I would also like to enter these challenges:

Colouring on Kraft

Good evening peeps, I hope you are all well and having a restful weekend. I am sorry for not being around much of late but I lost my dad on the 8th Feb after a short battle with cancer. I am totally heartbroken and not been doing much crafting. I have done a few cards over the past couple of days to try get back into the swing of things but I am finding it hard. My dad though wouldnt want me neglecting my passions.

So anyway I have made a start with a challenge card for One Stop Craft Challenge. This week we would like you to colour on Kraft. I have done a Tilda card and I am quite pleased with it.

I have used Rainy Day Tilda coloured with pro markers. Tim Hotz Stampers Anonymous background stamp, bazzill basics 12 x 12 burning ember. Petaloo flowers, choc a mocha card candy, 6mm grosgrain ribbon orange. The little metal charm has the wording 'hope' on it. I stamped the image on to some kraft paper i kept from the inside of a roll of wrapping paper. I would like to enter these challenges with this card...
