Finally a couple of cards

I haven't done any crafting for the last few days due to being ill ... I've not even linked my scheduled DT posts to challenges.  But I have got into my craft room this morning and made a couple of cards ...

I adore Kathy Hare images, and this cutie, Garden Daisy, using my promarkers.  The dp is DCWV Pocketfull of Posies, and I added lace and ribbon from my stash.  I was going to add some embellies, but she looked cluttered.

Challenges:

Sketch Saturday - Sketch
Allsorts - things with wings (2 ickle butterflies)
Stamp with Fun - in the garden
Cupcake Craft Challenge - orange, yellow, green and white


I coloured James Bear in on Tuesday!!!!  He finally gets to be on a card.   I kept it very simple, just embossing a Christmas tree and adding a few pearls.  James is coloured using my promarkers and then I stickled his hat.  Finally I coloured a white paper flowers using my pens and then I added a rose , and then some gingham ribbon.

Challenges:

 Creative Inspirations - Christmas in May

For Fun - Patriotic colours (my children are Welsh - red/white/green)
Pollycraft Challenge - Be my Teddy Bear

Wonderful creations! When I think of Wales, I think of Daffodils, Leeks, and Tom Jones (not necessarily in that order!) It is truly a beautiful country. Thanks so much for joining us at For Fun!
