FF Challenge 11 'Dare to be Square'

Here is my entry in the FF challenge for this week. I have made a springy card with a square top, I have used the turquoise block colour papers - just the darker shade though, a medallion from the funky garden collection which I reduced , then punched out the dots to form a lacy border, mounted this on a square piece of silver pearlised card, stamped a patchwork butterfly onto shrink plastic and coloured using watercolour pencils - my first attempt as well!, then mounted that onto the same silver pearlised card, used a 'square effect' peel-off border around the card to finish it off.

I haven't entered for a few weeks here is my entry to the FF Green challenge
I have used the new GORJUSS GINGHAMS in 2 shades of lime green. I have used a notepad that can be replaced when used up from Wilkinsons and a pencil from Ikea
the front has a simple large flower and an embellishment for the centre, adorning it, along with the title and all is held together using elastic.

Thread Exchange Birthdays

I have been busy today having made a 40th birthday card this morning which had to go in the post urgently, then I made a Fat Page for the FF Blue Challenge, then I have made another card for Cupcake Craft Challenge.
These cards are for my birthday thread exchange which I have been involved in for quite a few years.

I have used DCWV for backing cut a large label Nestabilitie, cut a tag, and stamped using miniature floral stamps in the style of Rubber Stamp Tapestry, applied co-ordinating ribbon from stash. I have used turquoise, pink and purple(it looks blue in the photo)

FF Challenge Blue

Here is my entry for the Blue challenge.
I have chosen to do a Fat Page. I am involved in a number of swaps and this is one of them I have to swap a Fat Page once a month.
I have used - free blue xmas background in turquoise, stamped an inspirational tag using Versa Colour Royal Blue, used stickles on the hydrangea and put navy ric-rac and fibres through the tag hole.
the stamp reads:

'Kind hearts are the garden
Kind thoughts are the root
Kindwords are the blossoms
Kind deeds are the fruit'

John Ruskin

What is a Fat Page?
A fat page starts as a 4"x4" square of card, you leave a 0.5" margin down one side for the recipient to put their own holes in, you then decorate in a similar way to an ATC, on the reverse you can decorate and give details about your Fat Page. I have made an album to contain my own Fat Pages and ones that I recieve.
This Fat Page will go into my album.
