Oriental Elegance

Good Afternoon!
We have a new challenge over at One Stitch At A Time this week and it is everyone's favourite I think..... #154 - Anything Goes
I made up a card but kept it fairly simple when it comes to embellishing it as I wanted it to appear as elegant as possible due to the gorgeous image one of my partners had picked for us to use this time.

Here is my card for #154 - Anything Goes:

Attaching the ribbon diagonally was my wonderful hubby's idea. When I added the bow, I left the tails long so I could slightly twist them and tuck them under the image.

Bunny Bricks

Good Afternoon:
This week has the first Tuesday of the month, and you know what that means! It's time for a brand new challenge at Technique Time Tuesday. It is a very simple one called 'Brick Wall' and won't take you very long to make up a card to enter our challenge. As always, the lovely Mynnette had done up a fabulous tutorial to help you out which can be found HERE.

March's Top Winner will receive 3 digital sentiments made by Mynnette, and each stamper who's card is showcased will receive 1 digital sentiment made by Mynnette  ! ;) Here's the best part--THE WINNERS get to choose what they want their sentiment to say and what style! If this doesn't sound like something you'd like, you could choose from some sentiments that she already has made. :)

With Easter fast approaching, I decided to use this technique to get an Easter card done. Here it is:

I decided to mount my image on a bit of a tilt to give my card a different look.
