So my first card is for PDCC59 and FBW134 - I just love the colours for this week's Play Date Challenge - who doesn't love purple and blue? And I had the perfect stamp set for the angel - it's not one I've used much, but it is ever so sweet. The set comes from Waltzingmouse Stamps and is Earth Angel - lots of lovely images and sentiments.
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Teeny Trees, Earth Angel
Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black, Grape Jelly
Accessories: Backing paper and dress - free with one of the magazines; Fantasy film from stash
The next card is for Brenda's challenge - this is a new challenge that she's just started. So I thought I'd have a go - it's a nice simple sketch and I need some inspiration. I kept this one really simple. I had a really bold and bright piece of ribbon in my stash, so I found some red card which I ran through my Cuttlebug, used the snowflakes folder and then punched out a Christmas Bauble using the Stampin' Up! punch. This is such a useful punch - and I love it!! I added some silver ribbon to the bauble. The frame and greeting were stamped before I stuck down the bauble. So here's my card (apologies for the slight blur in the picture - the card was scanned).
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Frame It
Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Cuttlebug snowflakes folder; Stampin' Up! - Bauble punch; Ribbon - from stash
Finally, I've been really quick off the mark with a card for Mona's CR84FN7 challenge. She only posted this challenge today!! I'm back to my favourite stamps - Nutcracker Sweet!! That Prince is on lots of my cards - but it's such a fun stamp. Brown is not a colour I use much (never really liked it too much), but with coral and tan - it works!! Who knew?? I made a gatefold card for a change and used mulberry paper and glitter paper for the gatefolds. The card is held together with the ribbon.
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Nutcracker Sweet, Teeny Trees
Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black, Rich Cocoa; Distress - Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo
Spellbinders: Mega Ovals - both plain and scalloped
Accessories: Ribbon from stash; Glitter paper and mulberry paper from stash
I think that's probably all I'm going to post today. In between cards, I've managed to get several loads of washing done, but I still need to do a bit of housework and get dinner ready for us all.
I'll be back again tomorrow - do come by again. Be safe!

I've forgotten how many times I've come to this post of yours - ended up having quite a journey to the challenges you linked up with & finally a migraine stopped my commenting at 3.30am this morning! Here I am finally! Love the way you've put the Earth Spirit card together using the pattern in the paper & making her a butterfly fairy. My favourite has to be that red babule though - just the dynamism of it. I can't get over how different tbese 3 are including what you've done with Nutcracker - he looks like one of those medieval knights in this one.
Have a good day.

Fabulous cards, Deborah. I'm totally in love with that red ribbon! And your Nutcracker Prince looks so charming in the brown shades.
Hey Deborah,
Wanted to stop in and say thanks for visiting my blog today and leaving such a lovely comment. Your entry for the PDCC is fabulous too. Those snowflakes are gorgeous and I love how you carried it into the angel's dress.
