A few challenges

I wanted to try for a few challenge cards today, but the creative juices weren't at their best sadly...and neither was my photography. I think I do the same thing every time, but sometimes they turn out OK and others...well, not so good.
Anyway this is for the challenge at Case this Sketch and it's almost closing!
Sentiment - Alley Way Stamps, Lady Bugs  Elizabeth Craft Designs Dies. DP Stampin' UP.

The next one is for Dynamic Duos 

I used the sketch layout from Clean and Simple on Sunday!
The colour looks a little vivid here, but in fact are fairly close to those prescribed.
Paper Smooches sentiment and Clearly Besotted butterfly. SU Die cut.

This last one is for the Muse challenge #15
On the right is the card I cased fairly closely from Jen Mitchell.
It employs a little home made washi tape a Clearly Besotted butterfly stamped in black and embossed in WOW Silver Pearl , before being die cut.
The sentiment is from Paper Smooches and dry embossing from Cuttlebug(flowers) and Sizzix (music)

  7. So wonderful Chrissie. It looks like you have had so much fun with these challenges and your colours in the 'be unique' card are just fabulous! (I struggle with my photos at times so I tell my hubby I *need* a new camera, but it's more likely to be user error...)
