A couple of cards

Its taken me a couple of days to get these cards finished ... life is one long roller coaster here at the mo ... and we are now onto geting Beth prepared for hospital on thursday.

I love Sugar Nellie's Simply Sassy range ... Hippy Chick is a definite favourite.

I watercoloured her using my distress inks.  I spritzed round her using hydrangea glimmer mists.  The sketch is from Friday Sketchers, and I used doliys for the circle elements.  The outer one is spritzed in Dusty Concorde distress ink and then hydrangea glimmer mists.  The dp is Basic Grey Koishi, and the ribbon and flowers are from my stash.  I am entering it into this week's Basic Grey CHallenge, flowers, and also the Simply Sassy Guest DT call ... if I don't try I'll never know LOL!!

Now this card id for hubby for Valentine's day ...

I love these latest LOTV images, and just had to have this one.  I coloured it using my Promarkers, and then followed the sketch from this week's Lili of the Valley challegne.  The white cardstock is embossed wusing my hearts folder.  I made the heart by covering one I drew in glitter paint (3 layers) and once it was dry using crackle accents to get the crackle effect.  The button hole feature was punched when I drew it.
 Here is a close up of the heart ... I am quite please with it :)

 The card also fits these challenges:
Passion for Promarkers - All you need is Love
I love promarkers - Keep it sweet and Simple
Totally Papercrafts - Add a heart
Craft Your Days Away - love

 I am going to have a day in my craft room ... I feel the need for crafting therapy LOL!!
