Pretty Patchwork

Here is the second card from last night and I think this will be going off to my cousin for her Birthday in a couple of weeks.

I have used the Freebie image from Bugaboo and coloured it with Promarkers. The patchwork paper is from Nitwits and came on a Free CD from a magazine. I have also used some pretty green vellum that I have had for a while. The sentiment was just typed in Craft Artist and colour matched to the patchwork. I have used some little silver stickers that look like brads, some pink Candi and some Gems. The Sketch is from Quirky Crafts and I think works perfectly.

A Summer with Friends

Afternoon all, I had a busy evening last night and managed to make two cards which I don't think I have managed to do since Charlie was born.

The first one has a summer feel to it in the hope that the nice weather will soon return.

I found the image on a colouring page site and thought she was perfect for a Summer theme with her pretty dress. I have coloured her with promarkers. The papers are from my ever growing stash, I am pretty sure they were from a Papermania collection but I could be wrong. The little saying was from a pack of acetate quotes that I have had for years and the little lace border was from an Ebay bargain. I then used some buttons, Candis and gems to embellish.

Easter Bunny

I have been banned from raiding the cupboard for my Easter eggs and boy did I need chocolate today. Charlie is teething and it has been a long and very tiring day. I decided to put my choccy cravings aside and keep myself busy with this little card. The image, papers and little flowers are all from the Me to You Spring Chic CD. I have added lots of little bits and bobs to embellish it. So here it is:
