I coloured and distressed the image and then punched flowers using my EK success punches. I matted the dp onto beige cardstock and used punched flowers for the corner detail.
I watercoloured Henry and added stickles to the cake.
No dp, just cardstock, lots of distressing, homemade flowers - I think I like it lol!!
I coloured the Manga Boy with Promarkers and the cut him out. I matted all the dp (MME Wild Aspargus) onto olive green cardstock. I did dots round the mat circle and crosses and dashes in the corners of the dp. I think I am going to use this card for my hubby's birthday.
The second card is for Sketch Saturday - I forgot the sentiment off it - doh!!
I coloured my image in using promarkers, enjoyed having a play with the hair colour!!. The papers are MME Bloom and Grow. I punched slots to thred the ribbon through and punched flowers.

This Gorguss Girl saw her first inking up today (hanging head in shame!), and having been coloured in using Cornflower blue, Blue pearl, sandsotne, cocoa, henna, ivory and blush, I cut her out using my nesties. I have used brown and blue coredinations carstock and some orangey browny blue dp. I cut the little ovals outusing my nesties and added punched flowers.
I coloured my image using promarkers and then masked her and spritzed the image with gold glimmer mist (thanks for the idea Kim!!). My glimmer mist was a bit blobby today - obviously not enjoying the heat!! I matted all the papers and fauxed stitched them using white gel pen. I punched three flowers and spritzed them with gold glimmer mist, then threaded gold thread through the buttons and added them to the centres. I finished the card off with a punched swirl and some flat backed green pearls.
Just need to find somewhere cool for the afternoon!!

I coloured Hanish in and then took an ink pad to the background - he can't be looking too clean!! I have kept the layout simple, just adding a few button (no flowers for a boy's card!) and as I needed to balance it I added the wall rub on.
I watercoloured Melinda and distressed the edges. I distressed the edges of the cardstock and only used two patterns from the pad. I was going to embellishments but they looked too fussy, and I love the simplicity of this card .
I watercoloured and distressed the image, and as before have only used a couple of patterned papers. I added clear buttons with lilac ribbon through them and a sentiment. I tried to add the flower from the sketch but it just didn't look right ... so another very simple card.
We are up early here as the electricity goes off at 8am until 4pm today ... eek no hot drinks, no pooter ... and worse of all for Beth no telly when it's snack time!!!

I coloured him in distress inks and then inked the edges in dark brown. All the dp are matted onto dark brown hammered cardstock and the edges inked. Iused the dark drown ink pad to colour the chipboard embellies and added three buttons.
I watercoloured the image using just 4 colours and then distressed it. All the papers are distressed in blue ink. I added some organza ribbon, but no bow this time. I punched some flowers and inked their edges. I added gems to the centres of he flowers. The top three flowers are arranged with some ash leaves. I tied some white organza ribbon round some of the blue I had used and fastened it behind the bottom flower. Finally I added a sentiment stamped in the blue I distressed the papers with.
I watercoloured my Gorjuss girl and cut her out. I used my nesties to cut out the egg, and added adhesive gems and ribbon so it looked like an Easter Egg. I sat the Gorguss one on the ribbon (hubby thinks she is looking very possessive about all that chocolate!!) I used my Fiskars Threading water punch to do the scalloped edge and borrowed Ellie's egg punch to punch the eggs, and added gems to them. Some doodling, a bow and some text finished it off.
I have used my Lavinia flower stamp and stamped 7 out in Sepia ink and coloured in tattered rose Distress ink. I then cut them out, very carefully. I used my rectangle nesties to cut the aperatures out. All the papers and edges are inked in brown ink.
When you open it there is another aperature ... 
I used some more of the blossom branches to cover the aperature.
I am really pleased with it - still think it needs some ribbon LOL!!
I have kept it quite simple - no flowers or sentiment added (yet). I think I will possibly put a few flowers on - can't make my mind up (I am really 'off' flowers at the mo, and I have stacks of them to use LOL!). I am in desperate need of some small Christmas sentiment stamps - mine are just too big. So its work in progress, but I do have plenty of time to come back to it!!
I watercoloured the image and distressed it. I went to town with the distressing, and ripped and sanded everything!! I embossed the background cardstock using my Swiss dots folder and sanded it. The image and red card stock are cut out using my nesties, and the cardstock sanded. I delibrately matted everything at an angle to add to the grungey feel. I set eyelets to hold the image and star. Just need to find a grungey teenager now!!
