March challenge - Clean and Simple

We are lucky to have the very talented Lindsay from LEJ Designs sponsoring us this month

Lindsay is kindly offering one lucky winner a prize of:

4 images of their choice from her shop.

I would like to enter this card in to the following challenges.

Digi Galore  - Anything Goes

http://4kraftygirlzchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/  Anything goes

When you move the card, the blue background seems to move like water.
I traced the Seahorse to give a mirrored effect.

Can you see the difference ?

Items used.

Seahorses... LEJ Designs.

Green cardstock.

Shells (From my stash)

Promarkers.

Baby Seahorse (From my stash)

I used a sort of acetate for the background,

When you move it, it resembles water,

I'm sorry i don't know the correct term for it.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog,

I look forward to your comments.

Lots of love,

Dancer with "movement"

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all having a good day,
I've had quite a lazy day, It doesn't happen often,
This afternoon i decided to make this card,
The image reminds me of my grand-daughter (Toni)
She's studying dance at Middlesex University.
I'm so happy to be visiting her next month, I'll also get to see her new house,
Exciting times ahead :-)

Now onto my card,
I decided to make in monochrome.

Close-up of dancer.
I stamped it several times, Getting lighter every time,
I think this gives the illusion of movement.

Items used.
Black & White cardstock.
Stamp (Clarity Stamps)
Nesties.
Flowers (Great Expressions) £1 shop.
Ink (Memento) Tuxedo Black.

But that's as far as i got,

THINKING ABOUT IT.....

Last week in my craft group,
We had my friend Diane doing a demonstration,
She showed us how to make this lovely "box"
I thought it would be perfect for a special lady who had done me a big favour,
I found out this lady loves wine gums,
So i made a special box, I copied a Maynards Wine Gums box.
I'm happy to say, she was delighted with them.

Black & White cardstock.
Various Nesties.
