Classic Christening Bear

I have made this cute card for a christening that is coming up soon, so as I have decoupaged it I have decided to enter it into the Just Cute Bears Challenge #24 which has a decoupage theme this week.

I have used various papers and have reused a gorgeous ribbon from some lavender bubble bath that I received back in March this year. It was just too nice to throw out!

Enjoy and thanks for looking

Summer love bird

This pretty little love bird, from Squiggle Stamps, just had to be centre stage, I have used sunshine papers from papermania (again, seem to be hooked on the gorgeous summery colours). I matched in the colours on the butterflies and coloured the bird and the flower train that crosses the middle with coordinating promarkers. I have used the sketch from Friday Sketchers challenge, very challenging.

I have decided to enter this card into
Squiggle Stamps July Prize challenge
and also
the Friday Sketchers Challenge #109

Pastel Stripes

Hi me again, love this image with the girly and the bumbleybee. Stripes galore, have used pretty papermania paper from the henbury range and the lovely dark purple sticky backed flowers have small embellishments stuck onto contrast with them.

Really enjoyed making this card and decided to enter it into the
I love promarkers challenge 21 - stripes, as I coloured the image in with my promarkers.

Passion for butterflies

Highly contagious this desire to upload your cards, so here is another one.
I have used a SeeDees Botanical image coloured with my promarkers, a beautiful lace butterfly from the papermania people and have embossed another butterfly onto coredinations card , which I then sandpapered over to bring out the paler colour (this was a first for me as I had not used this type of technique before)

I am entering this card into two challenges. These are :-
Passion for promarkers week 58 - think of a number
and
Colour create Challenge 48 - Baby pink, Peach and Black colours

Birthday Chicks

I've used the sketch image from sketch and stash #38, some DCVW spring pink printed ribbon (from my stash), and the wee mouse from Anitas Stamps 2002. This image (Sarah Kay) is so cute with the little chicks. The paper flowers are my newest aquisition there were 24 in the pack and I only have three left to play with. oops!

The card at the top is by my daughter Evie (7) who decided she would like her card entered into the 'Animal Crackers' Challenge, see below.
