A Card Buffet

Good Morning ,

A new month and a new challenge over at St Luke's Charity Card Challenge .... where did August go???

This month we have a Card Buffet for you to choose from ..... you can use any theme or image and use only four items from the list .... no more, no less ( you can add a focal image and sentiment too )

Here's the list :)
1. Patterned Paper     6. Flowers
2. Ribbon                  7. Punches
3. Gems                     8. Buttons
4. Pearls                    9. Embossing
5. Charms                 10. String

The prize this month is a Waltzingmouse Stamp Set called 'Wanda's Pantry'  ...what a spooktacular prize and just in time for Halloween too, so choose four items and get your crafty thinking caps on so you can join us this month :)

This is my card and I chose Ribbon, Buttons, Patterned Paper and Flowers.
I've used a dienamics die to cut the flowers in the corner of the white cardstock and placed the polka dot paper behind the apertures before adding buttons for the centres. The blue base card is over stamped with the Hero Arts Envelope Pattern background stamp and the sentiment is from a Paper Smooches set.
  

 I'm also playing along with ColourQ and Clean & Simple sketch challenge with this card, they have joined forces this week with a sketch and your choice of all the past colour combos at ColourQ.
This is the combo I went with
and here's the sketch

I hope you feel inspired to play along with us this month at St Luke's Charity Card Challenge and donating your cards too, will help raise much needed funds for the hospice. Please hop over to the blog to see all the details and read how Tara got on last weekend selling all the wonderful cards you've sent in so far :)

Thanks so much for visiting, look forward to seeing your entries this month X
