My Top 10 Cards of 2010

 Suzi has challenged us to post our Top 10 cards of the year.


 So here are my top 10 ... it took me ages to trim it down. I have gone for those cards I loved making and looking at.
 I have a soft spot for Sweet peas but don't often turn the iamges i colour into cards.  I love Holly fairy, although she takes ages to colour!

I made this card in January ... when I had promised myself 2 Christmas cards a week.   I love this Tilda and the distressed background.

Simplicity ... I do like CAS cards and ones using mainly white.  Wags n Whiskers Save a Prayer is a beautiful image.

Another early Christmas card .. I just love the WOJ gnomes and  these MME papers.

Another Magnolia card ... I played with stamping on fabric ... and I loved the result.

Another Tilda and another new technique ... paper pleating.  Ohh and that distressed background again.

And a Kenny K ... how I love these images.   I got an airbrush this year ... and love it!!!  Can you tell?!

InStyle Stamps have had some amazing images out this year ... Roaring Twenties is just one of a long list of favourites.   A great one for loud papers and feathers!!

 I love Snowflake Chloe from InStyle Stamps.  She is so cute holding that snowflake ... and goes really well on a simple embossed background.


 And finally ... Worried from Sugar Nellie.  Sugar Nellies were one of the first brand I bought, and I still love them.  I think this is such a poignant image ... just love it.
