A few cards and Dies to Die for GDT

I thought that I would post some cards I have made that are not for challenges, but for commissions or just because I was playing!
Tracy over at Dies to Die For is looking for guest designers. I have just finished making this card for a friend's daughter who is dance mad ... oh and likes pink!
I have to confess that the stamp isn't mine ... its Ellie's, a birthday present from Vicky. Its Ballet Brielle by Whipper Snapper, and I have coloured it using my promarkers. I used Basic Grey Eva papers, and faux stitched them using a white gel pen. I added a Prima flower and flower charm, and used my cuttlebug tag to add the handwritten sentiment.

I really struggle using some of the Basic Grey Two Scoops papers - love them, just struggle matching them. So I have had a play with these papers and my new Leanne Ellis stamps from Sugar Nellie. I find that patterned dp really hard to work with, but think this looks OK. I coloured the image, Fizz, in with distress inks, and added small clear and pale green adhesive gems to the bubbles at the top. I added yellow organza ribbon and pink adhesive gems to the corners of some of the dp. Not sure what I will use it for, so no sentiment yet.

Finally, a few days ago I posted a card I was having difficulty finishing and got some great ideas back as to how I could finish it.

I tried scrolls and swirls stamps and didn't like the result, so I repeated the frame on the inside. I think it works, and thank you everyone for your help and ideas.
Off to play outside with the girls in a few minutes - just need to wake them up LOL!!
