If the shoe fits....

Oh, I love this weeks theme over at Glitter n Sparkle - Pearls and swirls.
I used "Pearls n leather" from Stitchy stamps.


I used my promarkers to colour the image - 
and I dotted on all those little teeny swirls...freehand!
Liquid pearls were used to fill the pearl necklace, which gave a lovely effect.
I made the sentiment on the pc
and backed it all on some paper I got, in a paper pack, in 'The Works'.
A few pearls here and there around the edge, finished this card.

Summer's here...


Well, not weather-wise, but card-wise, I mean. :) 
I would say that most of the digi images over at Pink Gems are cute...
so was thrilled this week to find they were sponsoring our "cute!" challenge, over at 
Glitter n Sparkle... I chose "beach hut 2"


I could have gone for many, many other cute images, but I just loooove beach huts...
(they are one of my favourite things ever!)
and thought this was one of the cutest I have ever seen!
I didn't really plan the colours that I was going to use -
they just happened. 
I think I would use different colours next time.
The backing paper is from a sea themed dovecrafts set of 6 x 6 papers. 
A bit of twine finished the card, with a sentiment from Pink Petticoat.

Pink for a girl...

The card I made recently, is using a really cute image from 
Di's digi downloads - called 'Mouse on the moon.'
Its just perfect for baby cards...and I made it for some friends - 
who are (very soon!) due to have their little girl.
(I will personalise it when the time comes, with her name, date and weight.)
As a handy coincidence, the challenge over at Glitter n Sparkle, this week
is to "use some pink."  :)

I coloured the very sweet image with my promarkers
and mat and layered it a few times, inking the edges in a soft pink each time.
The paper was from my stash... no idea what pack it came from...sorry.
The super cute hanging hearts are diecut from a memory box die.
The new, swirly heart border strip ,ready-punched , was from a car boot sale, recently.
2 Dovecraft pink flowers and some pearls finished this sweet card.

Card for a friend

The challenge over at Glitter and Sparkle this week, is
"Anything goes"
and I  just got this super cute image form Lucy Sunshine, called "Jillian."

The first thing I chose to go with this image, was the sentiment. 
Then I embossed a piece of pick card with my newest embossing folder,
which I absolutely love!
The border is my new one - well. I rediscovered the memory box "charlotte" border die 
which I got for a couple of pounds on a car boot sale over summer -
and I completely forgot I had it! 
(It cuts beautifully)
I finished off with a thin organza ribbon, and some MS punched butterflies.... punched from white sparkly card - that is very difficult to photograph! ;)
