Today is the Carnival of Cards blog hop starting over at Sherry's blog http://patternsbysher.blogspot.com/2011/05/card-carnival-blog-hop.html
If you have just arrived here while hopping around in blog land and would like to take part then please start back at Sherry's blog as above.
If you have however arrived here from Susan's blog then you are on the right track.
The idea behind this blog hop is to create cards that are not convential square or rectangle.
Due to the very last minuteness of this hop (for me - like 5 mins ago) i apologise as i have not been able to produce anything brand new, so ive dug through my archives and here are my entries.
The first card is a rocker - this is my fav style right now. Ive used a Little Claire stamp on it, coloured with my copic sketch markers and added peel offs, bling, buttons, fibres and punched flowers.
This is such a lovely card style as have used a flower from a cricut cart and welded 2 together to create this cute flower style card. I have used an embossing folder to create the background Thank yous and a HS image coloured in copic markers. I have added bling, bows and wild orchid craft flowers.
Another rocker style card here with an HS image again coloured in copics, peel offs, buttons, bling ribbons and punches used.
Another flower card using a LOTV cat image again coloured in copics. Punched flowers, craft work cards card candy as flower centres, peel offs, a metal embellisment sentiment and a bow to top it off.
Another rocker style card using a LOTV fairy image again coloured in copic markers, peel offs, buttons, pearl bling, a ribbon bow and punched flowers for decoration.
Yet another rocker card - you can tell this is my fav style by now i hope !! This is a magnolia image used and she is coloured with copics, bling, buttons, a bow and wild orchid craft flowers added.
Another flower card here with a magnolia image again coloured in copics, peel offs, bling, buttons, bow and wood chip flowers added for effect. Glitter added to her crown and star magic wand.
And now for my last entry again a rocker card with WOJ images coloured again in copic markers. Peel offs, pearl bling, buttons and a bow added as embellisments.
Well there you go, my non conventional cards for this hop. Hope you like them and if you have time i would love it if you could leave me a comment.
