A second post from me today with this card for a challenge that is new to me
The image was given to use and after I printed it I tore the edges and sponged with DI walnut stain.
I coloured some paper lace with a red Promarker and glued it to the left edge. I found some appropriate words, a cog and some red flowers and attached to finish.

a little birdie told me
I haven't used this set by Dina Wakley for some time, so thought I would give it an outing
I used shaded lilac DI for my stenciled background and then added french script in a couple of places using a very pale grey ink. The bird id stamped with Memento tuxedo black and restamped onto a scrap, which I coloured with promarkers, fussy cut and glued over the image on the card. I also diect a branch for her to stand on and stamped the message from the same set

Blue Hydrangeas
Hi everyone
Today's card features a stamp by Rubber Stampede, which I have had for such a long time.
I stamped with my Misti using Memento tuxedo black and coloured with the following markers
Leaves - copics olive and Reno Art lettuce
flowers - Promarkers, arctic blue,pastel blue, cadet blue, and orchid
I stamped the flower head again and raised it with some foam tape
After trimming I layered onto a green stripey dp and added some matching blue ricrac trim

Stitched frame
Hi
I was browsing through my old craft magazines, and this design caught my eye
I cut the rectangle window and then pricked the holes for the stitching. I used a sparkly gold thread.
I then added acetate at the back and attached my 3d flower.
On the inside to cover the stitching I used a cream card and cut a slightly smaller window so that it resembles a frame to the window

Welcome
Today's card did not turn out as I expected! I was using an idea from one of Natasha's you tubes, but somehow I went off tangent.
I cut the leaves 3 times on my Cameo and tried to colour them with DI in green shades and yellow. I was not happy with the result so added some colour with copics. I added some little touches of gold paint, then layered them and glued to my card. I also added a torn strip of leafy DP to the side.
The stamp is my new Woodware one that my son sent over from Australia for me. It is embossed in gold EP

Friends
I am back again with my second post for today
I used some more of the pretty coloured card for my background, and it is the last sheet that I have!
The three panels are from an unknown DP and I have rounded the corners too
A strip of lovely lace is glued across and my sentiment (again with rounded corners) is layered on top. This is another rub on - so many more to use!!

Hi and welcome back
A bright and cheerful card today with my very old Hero Arts stamp. I only coloured 2 of the flowers with copics and fussy cut them. Copics used were E21, Y06, Y38, E49, and Creative graphic marker 35 lemon yellow.
I trimmed the leaves from a much larger die and tinted them slightly. The white card was diecut and layered onto my base. The message is a rub-on, from another box of stash that has been neglected. I have found that you need to heat them a little if they are not transferring well
