We're off to Padstow in Cornwall next week so I'm busy trying to get all my cards sorted that need doing before then! It's Dad's Birthday whilst we're away, so here's the card I've made for him - hopefully a reflection on what he'll be doing on the beach!

Image: "Deckchair Dreaming" from Lili of the Valley, coloures with Promarkers & chalks.

Wishing you the Fairy best!

Wow two cards posted in one day! For some reason at the moment I find sketch challenges seem to have me stumped! I spend so long trying to find bits and pieces to fit that I never get anywhere! So here's a sketch-less creation!

Supplies:

Image/Sentiment: "Fairy 1" from Digi Doodle Shop (that I won in the Forever Friends Monthly Challenge), coloured with Promarkers, "Wishing you the fairy best" sentiment is from Create with TLC.

Paper: Both the floral and pink polkadot papers are from the Pink Petticoat, Vintage Rose Collection. The edges are chalked.

Embellishments: Handmade pink bow tied with Reflecta silvery thread!

Pink & Flowery!

Here's another of the Forever Friends decoupage cards I made yesterday - I love the girlyness of this one!
Again the flowery/spotted paper is from the kit, as is the sentiment. I've added a bit of fringing (trying to use up old bits of ribbon), and some little flowers embellished with gems.

Tilda Bookmark & Fancy Fold card

Here's a diagonal double pocket card made from a Splitcoast Stampers tutorial.

I've used G.C.D Studios Cloisonne double sided paper to make the actual pocket card. The gardening image on the front is from Beccy's Place  - she has loads of lovely digis to play with! I've coloured with Promarkers, and added "60" in peel-off number to the tea-cup as the card is for my friend's mum's 60th!

In the top pocket of the card I have placed a bookmark, made using gold cardstock, and Tilda with Wedding Gifts, coloured with Promarkers (to match the paper). I printed the sentiment off from Word!! I've added a ribbon and totally forgot to put an eyeley around the hole!! (Too many other things going on at home)!

Clean & Simple Christmas!

A nice simple Christmas card for a change! I've used a piece of purple/text paper from DCWV Rose-Tinted Christmas pack, a green ribbon and a piece of white card with Christmas trees punch out, which I've coloured with Cosmic Shimmers and layered over some green shiny card! Simples!
