52 Cards Challenge 2012

[Susie.A]

Thanks for the lovely comments ladies. Seeing your sweet bird cage Virginia has reminded me that I actually have quite a few similar stamps and die cuts. I still need to make one more Mother's Day card so if I have time I might try the birdie bit.

Love the pretty colours in your card Phil.

Here's mine for birds, stitching and pale pink. Well I have two sewing machines and neither will work, but I did sew the button on myself!

Aw, dats tweet. I like the litttle bit of sparkle.

[daisychain888]

Afternoon all, love the cards so far Philthetog, I love the 'dropper' from the flower, can I ask where you got it from please?

I'm almost caught up now, I only have week 8 to do but I'm struggling with which one piece of pp to use! Time to search through the scraps box methinks! I'll take pics of all when I'm done, I daren't stop crafting now or else I'll get sidetracked.

Gorgeous card Phil - I have that PATP set and I keep forgetting to use it.

Still waiting for inspiration to strike for this week

[thriftycrafter]

Here's last week's, and yes, the bird is on the tilt, I like to think he's feeding rather than dead!
Definitely flat though, the butterflies have glimmer mist on, so look better IRL

Here's mine for Week 11.

the colour and birds are obv. The stitching, I gathered the lace with a running stitch and then hand stitched it into place.

In keeping with my own personal challenges this year, i've used old bits of white card and this card has a purpose. This challenge is really helping me do my cards that i personally need, and in plenty of time to send, this one is for June and the biggest recycling bit is the backing paper here. I popped into our florist in town and asked for any flowers he had in his bin and then popped them through my bigshot!

Nat - came close to meeting up - I went to see the mystery knitting last weekend, amazing isn't it?

[Jampot]

That is gorgeous Lilliboy, I love the paper you have created from the waste flowers, that's really inventive.

[Mystik Nat]

haha Lilli - hope you had chance for some lovely fish n chips or an ice cream down by the pier while you were there. We were really lucky with the weather.

Lovely cards for last week's dare girls! I look forward to seeing what you come up with for this week's, I am in need of some creating inspiration for this particular theme as I have a few more cards to make.
