** November Card Challenge!!! **

[craftymama]

Wow JAniemay that is beautiful. Tracy love the fact that its is half embossed and half not looks very effective.

Heres my latest bling attempt. Papers and topper is JS victorian b'day and I decoupaged the fans then used some little silver metal fans I bought ages ago as corners to the topper. TFL

[Fifi-T]

When you said 'The Bling' I might have got a little carried away (backs into corner slightly)...



and even blingier



My defense is, I often make cards of this blingy scale, because my gran (I'm 95 you know) has cataracts and cannot see much so my cards are shiny and touchy feely.

[craftymama]

Wow Fifi-T they are fabulous. What have you used on the bottom one?

[tracygough]

Jac that's a really pretty card, those fans are so cute.

OMG, Fifi-T that's some bling and a half! They both look amazing, i'm sure your Gran will really appreciate the work you've put in for her, i bet they're really touchy feely.

[Fifi-T]

It is just assorted gems, I drew the flower design by hand (that's why its so simple) then covered the whole lot with double sided tape. Then stuck on gems left over from all over the place.

Little round ones, square ones (assorted sizes) hearts, circles. The red tracing around the flower was done with small red square stones cut in half. I cut a few gems in half to fit in place.

There is nothing special there though.

[Fifi-T]

Perhaps something a little less loud...



I started the idea for this card in my head for the American Crafts challenge a few weeks ago. I finished it today...

I did not intend it to look like a sympathy card, but I think it would be fitting in that role. I need scalloped edge scissors though.

It on the blog, thanks for looking.

Gorgeous cards everyone!!!! Fifi you make me laugh, I sooo love your cards and I m not even 90 yet
I ve been shopping today and in a well known department store a card they were selling really caught my eye, so I ve rushed home feeling inspired and I ve created this.



Letters cut on the Expression the stamp behind is a fabulos baroque motif by KI and I went to town with bling, is not a good photo as I found it extremely hard to photograph due to the shine on it

[CharlieDK]

.. not easy to photo but guess you can see the bling in the flower and the bling A:

Some fabulously dazzling cards this month!

Just to let you know I'll be posting the December challenge a little later - around the 4th when I get back from my holidays... but in the meantime keep blinging!

Fifi-T Those cards you have made are stunning. Im not quite 90 yet but I would be very impressed if I was sent one of those.

[Sues]

Made this card for my son this afternoon. Santa head cut on Cricut, embossed the beard with CB and decorated with stickles. Computer generated sentiment. Not a great scan, it's been too dark all day for a decent photograph, it looks better IRL

[DawnS]

Thats lovely Sue like the effect on his beard.

[passionflower]

Oh Sue I like what you did with his beard ... inspired girl
