How does your garden grow

Yet another image from the Moments in Time stamp range. After water colouring the image I used a little Flower Soft on the grass.

The edge was punched using a Martha Stewart punch and the card was finished with ribbon, flowers and charms. Not sure which DP I used, its probably one of the K&Co range.
I would like to enter this in to the Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge - #77

Snow globe card

Here's my card for the Cupcake Challenge - 65 -Snow much fun.
I think I over did the snow abit, what with the papers, snow globe, die cut and punched snowflakes and snowflake border, not forgetting the snowflake embellishment and charm.

This easel style is my new favourite and there will be alot more to come.
I used patterned card to make the base, from a range called Patchwork Pals, I got it from QVC. I layered paper with all different snowy sentiments on blue pearl and punched a snowflake border - Fiskars border punch.

I stamped the empty snow globe on to acetate ( not sure of the make) and stamped a small snowman, from Crafters Companion Christmas stamps by Jayne Nestorenko, inside. I glittered the image and added glitter snow.Unfortunately this doesn't show up very well in my photos. The acetate was attached to the card front with star brads

I die cut and punched the large snowflake embellishment and attached the charm with a blue gem brad, this was attached to the sentiment tag, (Papermania stamp).
I am going to enter it in to the following challenges as well;
Colour Create- 31 blue, silver and white.
Lili of the Valley- Recipe - 3 papers, 2 stamps and 1 type of embellishment
My Time To Craft- 65 -Tags so much

Baby boom

Today I have made 2 new baby cards, one is for the very talented illustrator Alison Acton and the other is for one of my neighbours.

The first one is going to be sent to Alison and I am entering it into a special Whiff of Joy Candy Challenge.

I used an A4 piece of pearl blue card, which I cut down into a square card.
I used the extra piece as a wrap around the center and to hide a congratulations message. I coloured this cute Penny Black image with Promarkers.

The papers were free with a magazine and I finished it off with a pull bow ribbon, a button and a couple of charms.


The one for my neighbour is very similar using the same image and patterned papers. This one however is just a plain square card, that I covered with some paper that I painted myself using Starburst Stains from the Stampman. I followed the sketch on the Penny Black Challenge, although I did flip it. I used a Martha Stewart punch to create a layered look and finished with a flower, button and charms from stash.
