A couple of cards

Thank goodness blogger is working and behaving again!!  We have been away for the weekend, and me and the girls have been ladies that lunched(twice!) and afternoon tea'd with their Auntie Anne .. very pleasant.

Here are a couple of cards I made at the end of the week when blogger was being naughty and a quick one this morning while I was waiting for one of the children to arrive.
I adore these cute LOTV girls having their tea ... just like mine of Saturday!!!  I coloured them using prisma pencils, and cut them out with my nesties.  The dp is Making Memories, the dioly, flowers and eibbon all from my stash.

 Challenges:
Sketch Saturday - sketch
Lili of the Valley CHallenge - ribbons and bows
Creative Inspiration - glitz and bling
Stamp with fun - green and pink


 This image is one of Sugar Nellie's Simply Adorable range and was released on Friday ... Flora, isn't she just beautiful?  I coloured her with my copics and promarkers, and again used my nesties to cut her out.  The dp is from Elaine, and it almost broke my heart to use it!  I added a layered flower and some ricrac and lace which I ruffled.
Challenges:
Cupcake Craft Challenge - in the garden (She is holding flowers and is called flora!)

 ANd finally a quick card i made this morning ...
Now I know this is not perfect .. far from it in fact!!!  However I got this Fiskars stamp at the weekend and wanted to have a play with it and see what it looked like stamped up.  I stamped it straight onto the card blank with versamark and then heat embossed it using blue, yellow and red powders.  Now I did anti-static the card before I stamped on it, but I have noticed that the blue and red powders have slightly stained the card ...hmmmm not sure why ... oh and the cat just had to stick her noses in the powder as it went on the card!!    So the result is ... love the stamp ..shame its a but smudged and stained!!

Challenge - Less is more - I layer, embossing

First - your image of Flora is magnificent - at first I thought it was a printed image. Hats off to you - brilliant.

Your LIM card is lots of fun - I do like the stamp.
