Birthday Blooms

 


I love this sunflower stamp from Poppy Power by Marcella Hawley. I've used it a few times now and I love it. It's so versatile. I coloured it, of course, with my trusty promarkers. 

I hand-stamped the sentiment and cut it by hand. Papers are from a craft ID pad, 'when life gives you lemons' and added the butterflies and a few wee gems to finish.

The current challenge for As You Like It is favorite occasion and I debated with myself between birthdays and christmas, because I love both, but went with birthdays because it's so much more individual. I love making cards that are specifically made with a person in mind. Using their favourite colours, picking themes for their hobbies and interests. This one is going to my neighbour for her birthday, as she loves flowers - her garden is amazing! 

As You Like It - favourite occasion and why

Have A Great Day

How cute is this wee pupper from digi doodle shop. I've had him cut out waiting for me to decide what to do with him for aaaaages! I finally coloured him with my promarkers and decided on this side stepper card. The various elements were cut on my cameo. The paper is from the Nit Wit Paws-ativity collection. I stamped and cut the sentiment by hand and added it to the tree with a bit of twine, to make it look kinda like a swing (and it does swing, side to side at least, lol).

Meowy Christmas Kitty

  I picked this from All Dressed Up after winning two of their beautiful images from an Outlawz challenge. Friends of mine just got a new kitten and this will be perfect for them for xmas. I coloured the image with my promarkers and used papers from hobbycrafts traditional chrismtas pack. The stocking embellishment came from the matching embellishment set. The sentiment was stamped from a set I was given a while ago.

we're dreaming of a pink christmas

As anyone who has been on my blog before might know, I don't generally like pink very much, but that was the challenge and other people I know do so... still I'm rather pleased with this one, I actually think it's super cute, despite the pink, lol! This adorable image is from Di's Digi Downloads, coloured as ever with my promarkers and a little glitter glue on the santa hats. The sentiment was just typed. The papers are from make & creates magical christmas design pad. I went with grey card to layer on a white card base. I added a little lace and some gems to embellish.
