A couple of cards

I had a bit of a colouring fest yesterday ... and these are 2 of the cards I made up ...

 
I used this gorgeous Kathy Hare image from Sugar Nellie, Worried,  and coloured him with my promarkers.  The dp is Simply Stories, Happy Birthday I think.  I added buttons made using a very neglected Marianne Creatible's die, and a stamped tag and chippy brackets, coloured using my umber promarker.

Challenges:
Sugar Bowl - sketch
Creative Monday - for Men

This gorgeous Magnolia, Ballerina, hasn't seen ink in absolutely AGES!!  She is coloured using copics, and I added glamour dust and frosted lace stickles to the image.  The dp is Stampin Up Blueberry Crisp, another neglected item from my stash!!!  I added some Memory Box die cut flowers, pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts, lace, gingham ribbon and a doilly to finish.

Challenges:
Craft Your Days Away - doillies and lace
Just Magnolia - bingo (flowers, glitter, blue)
Oldie But a Goodie - flower power
Craft your Passion - kraft and lace/ribbon
Color me Creative - Navy/dark blue
Crafty Boots - Bingo (blue, ribbon, lace)
Incy Wincy - dust off
Love to Create - 3 of something (types of embellishment, 3 ickle flowers)
Make it Monday

Beautiful card. I love the deep blue in Tilda's dress and in your papers. Such a nice contrast to the white doily and lace.
