A couple of Top 50 challs...

Sadly, my Jillibean Soup 'Blossom Soup' DT kit from Handmade By Suzanne is almost at an end, but I did manage to squeeze one more creation from it - a card for the Scrapbooking Top 50 'Dare' Chall. The members came up with the following criteria for the DT - stars; paper tearing; glitter or bling; cannot be square. Here's my take...

As you can see, I included a bit of 'Cappuccino' bakers twine, and also some gorgeous Green Tara Bud 'n Bow ribbon and a mini flower. I made the large flower by tearing up tissue paper, securing with a brad and then I sprayed it with glimmermist.

The next challenge I completed was for the April 'Sweet Treats' CC - Vicki's 'Sweet' Criteria challenge. The criteria that were chosen for me were distressing; handmade embellishment; fabric / felt; black background. Here's what I came up with...

For this LO I used some scraps of Kaisercraft 'Love Notes' pps I had (which are currently 30% off at HBS!), as well as a doiley sprayed with 'Polka Dot Pink' Chalkboard Glimmermist (isn't the colour DIVINE? I LOVE this stuff!) I also used 'Chalk' Chalkboard Glimmermist splattered on the background. The gorgeous pink satin flower came from Vicki @ Burdy's Handmade Embellies.

Speaking of handmade embellies - have you entered my Lovelybug Bits n Bobs giveaway yet???
