ABC - R is for.......

.....ROSES!!!

This is my DT card for ABC this week.  I was a little stumped at first with this as I don't really like flowers as the main image but then I remembered these lovely rose DP's from K&CO which I think fits the bill!

Take a look over on the blog to see the other girls creations and to join in!

Stamp With Fun #9

This is my entry into this week's challenge on Stamp With Fun which is "not a card".  I decided as I lost my bookmark whilst on hols I would make me another!

I think this bear is so perfectly named as she is such a cutie!  I have paper pieced her dress to match the backing.

Sugar Bowl #8

This is my card made using the fabby sketch on Sugar Bowl. Now I wasn't sure I was going to take part this time as the sketch looked quite complicated but when I got going it was fab!

Love the pink and green mix on these papers so used Bazzill Bling card to mat and coloured my Gorguss Girl with same tones.

Sketch Saturday #46

This card is made using the fabby sketch this week on Sketch Saturday. I wasn't sure about it at first as thought there would be too much on the card but then thought if I used card put through Cuttlebug using swirls folder and sanded the top it would match but not detract from the scrummy image or papers. I masked stamped the girl with a cat as I thought she needed some company as looked lonely LOL.

Hope you likey :)

Double Challenge Card

This card is made for two challenges: -

1. Spoon Full of Sugar #47 - To die for
2. Inspirational Card Sketches #12 - sketch

I have used punch for Fiskars border and nesties in cuttlebug for image so ties in with the "die" aspect and I have rotated the sketch as I thought it suited my image better.

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #2

This is my card for this week's challenge on Stamptacular Sunday which is "for the birds". A bird had to be somewhere on your project and as I'm not really a bird person I thought I would struggle, but then I remembered this "Gorguss" girl stamp and I was saved!

Cuttlebug used for circles. Punch for flowers, centres and border.
