Secret Crafter Challenge #21 - Transport

This seems to be yet another card suitable for a chap. I have had quite a run on them of late. This stamp from Hobby Art is popular in this part of the country, as living near to the coast, many people sail.
The paper is Papermania and the swirl is Quickutz. I seem to have been using it rather a lot recently.
Some time ago I bought a huge box of rolls of assorted colour ribbons from Malaysia, through eBay. Where would we be without eBay? I would never have chosen some of the colours, but as it was pot luck, I just accepted what was sent. It is surprising however, just how useful it has been and just how many times I have managed to find a shade which co-ordinated with the card that I was making.
Great Stuff!

ABC Challenge - C - Child's card ~ Daring Cardmakers - All things circular ~ Cute Card Thursday - Animals

I found cutting out this circular card quite tricky. I used my X cut circle template, but the double thickness of card was quite a proposition.
The ladybird is made completely from circles apart from his/her feelers which are made from the capital letter C from my Cuttlebug Hippie Chick alphabet, cut in half.
The flowers are all circular-ish as is the sentiment.
It is a card for a child's birthday and ladybirds belong to the animal kingdom... so three challenges in one!

Stamp Something - Cold Winter Wind & Sketch Saturday #40

Not being a scrapbooker, this sketch looked a little complicated to me and it really was a challenge to get it sorted. However, I actually rather enjoyed doing it and have used the same colours as several of my recent cards.

The sentiment reads 'Cherish yesterday, Live for today, Dream of tomorrow' We can't go far wrong if we keep to this, can we!

The theme of Cold Winter Wind is from Stamp Something. I hope that the bare trees and the colours I chose satisfy the criteria!
