APA challenge 3

A new challenge on Ann's PaperArt blog not only gives you one free pattern to create a card with, but also an additional free pattern of you choice when you participate! That is of course a great opportunity, so I have played around a bit with the pattern.

The first card is made with the pattern as given. A square card with a label stamp and die from Whimsy en the flower stamp from Stampinback.

The second card I wanted to make an A6, so I slightly adjusted the pattern to fit this size. Two cards and still plenty of time left, because the challenge runs till November 30th. Maybe another card will follow....

I would like to enter this card in the following challenge:

Forever Friends October Challenge

This month I got the honor to be a guest designer for the Forever Friends Challenge blog.

It's bingo time! Here is the bingo grid for the October challenge:

Ribbon	Pink	Gems
Glitter	Buttons	Hearts
Tag	Lace	Blue

 
I made a tag with in it a card with one of the lovely stamps from Forever Friends.

The heart I have embossed with some glitter to make it pop-out a bit.
My used bingo items are therefore ribbon - glitter - tag.

I hope this creation will inspire you to have a go at the challenge yourself.
