BG DT: Stitching

Hi everybody and welcome at another Basic Grey Challenges!
We want you to make a card and the challenge is:

STITCHING

So summer has started officially on June 21. Well nothing but rain here, but they promise that starting from Monday things will look a lot sunnier! Yesterday was my sisters Leonie birthday. So I made this card for her. There has been years when it was so hot but now it was actually cold. We got her a great necklace and a matching armband and I used the colour in the card. I don't know if she noticed....

I used the Mojo Monday sketch and also want to enter it in the Stamping for the Weekend challenge which is using your favourite things. Well my favourite things are using Basic Grey paper (I love this new pad Hello Luscious)and ribbon.



Stamp: Flower Girls Pergamano
Paper: Hello Luscious by Basic Grey
Other: brads from Basic Grey, flowers, ribbon, eyelet, Twinkling H2O's

Father's Day

Today is Father's Day. And since I have an awesome dad I naturally wanted to make him a card. I find masculine cards hard to make, but I like this one. I used last week sketch by Mojo Monday , it's too late to send it in, but when I saw that sketch I knew I wanted to make a card with it.
I want to enter this card in the following challenge: Papertake which is Dads and Lads, and Stamp Something which is using Pretty Papers. These are from Basic Grey. I used my Nesties to make the small circles.



Stamp: My Favorite Things
Paper: Skate Shoppe by Basic Grey
Other: twine, ribbon, nestabilities

BG DT: colour challenge

It's me again! Back with another awesome challenge from Basic Grey Challenges!
This time we have a colour challenge for you. We would like to see cards in:

HOT PINK - LIME GREEN- KRAFT/BROWN

So here is my card following these colours. My pink is not coming out as 'hot' as I wanted though ;)



I've found these cute stamps in my local craft store. I don't buy much there because they do not have the newest supplies and they certainly don't have the best prices. But I was in need of some brown paper for this challenge and I found these cuties. And I just couldn't resist.
Oh and when you play along with our challenge make sure to use a Basic Grey product. You can't imagine how many people play along a blog called Basi Grey and don't use a BG product!


Stamp: Flower Girls from Pergamano
Paper: Lemonade paperpad from Basic Grey!!
Other: pearls, flowers, Twinkling H2O's, stickles, ribbon
