Buttons!

Today's card is a simple printed image, layered on black, and mounted onto a tan card. I have added 3 buttons, and filled the centres with gold glitter, and a gold birthday sentiment.

A card for Miss Poppy

Poppy is soon going to be 6, so I have made a card using Penny Black stickeroos, I have machine stitched the background layers, and used spellbinders dies for the flowers and the scalloped oval.

Lace and Butterflies

Today's card was made for a swap in a Yahoo group that I belong to.
I used a piece of lace from my stash, threaded with a ribbon. The diecut is from Go Create, (used my cuttlebug) and the pansies are layered to give dimension. The birthday stamp is from Penny Black.

Colouring challenge

This month Letraset have a colouring challenge, and this is my entry. You will recognise that it is the same owl as my previous post

The wise old owl

I have coloured this doodleowl very simply, with Marvy pens and Copics, and painted his heart with Polymark paint.
I stamped the background in 2 colours using a SU stamp and smudged the edges. Also distressed the edges of the layers and the wording tag which I printed on the computer. I would like to enter the following challenges

Hugs and Kisses

Today's card follows the sketch at 'the house that stamps built'
I have rotated it, as I like making horizontal cards. I have glued on 3 rows of lace, stamped 3 hearts top left(unknown stamp), trimmed with pearls. The Penny Black stickeroo was stuck onto card, and then raised with mounting tape. The Hugs and kisses stamp is by Hero Arts
I am also entering the challenge at Penny Black Saturday  to use pearls and lace

Hearts - love - romance!

The template for this lovely romantic card  came from Cardmaking Paradise (see link on my sidebar)
It is a triple heart easel card, and I have edged the cream layers with Distress Ink Antique Linen, and the apricot hearts, which have been embossed in my cuttlebug, with Dried Marigold. I can't remember where I got the pretty roses from, but they suited the project beautifully. Finished of with an organza ribbon bow and a little heart bead which has 'love' on it. I am entering the following challenges.
