Comissioned card

  "Can I have a card for kate - she's 16
and LOVES horses.  PS... not too girly!"
 
--stress!!--
 
Well, I don't have a clue what to do,
and put it off, and put it off.
Then I started to play and it just came together.
I goggled and found the horse image.
I made the little rosette myself...a strip of paper which I folded over and over.
Computer generated sentiment printed directly onto the card.
Backing paper is a digi paper I have had for ages.
Flowers are also digi flowers I pinted out and cut round.
It was a hit!!! Phew!!!

My new embossing folder...

A kindly person on docrafts, pointed out
an ebay seller who was selling this gorgeous embossing folder...
 



and I knew I had to have one! ( its by Darice...
called "butterflies" i think!)
(Well, it was very close to my birthday, so I got hubby to treat me :) )
I embossed it several times and made each one slightly different...
some have computer generated sentiments,
and some have a stamped sentiment.
Some have butterflies embossed,
or extra, punched butterflies added... with and without gems / sparkle.

I am entering the "with love" butterflies card into
the following challenge...
CAS on Sunday - Flutterby (closes 29/03/13)

The Easter holidays have started! Yipeee!!!!

 I'm SO glad the easter hols are finally here!
 
So...I thought I would make some cards for my "box"...
I have used a few recently, and need some I can just pull out - last minute -
when the need arises. I made this to start with...
I used part of a paper I ha already used and was in my
"paper bits n bobs" folder. I always put the left over pieces and bits in there.
The cute stamp came free, with a card making mag, last month.
Butterflies are punched.
 
I would like to enter this into the challenges...

A couple more for Mothers day...

I was asked to make a couple of cards for the weekend...
 

The forst one was for a mum who was recieving a "Charlie Bear" for mothers day.
"Can I have a card to go with the bear?!"
This went down well! Phew!
Image from my pc....decoupaged bear and sunflowers,
(glossy accents added here and there. )
Fanciful flourish swirls.
Punched butterflies.



This card was for an auntie - who is like a mum.
This needed to be floral.
Image from pc...decoupaged tulips,
 on gingham paper from stash,
 with punched butterflies.
 
Both were well received! x
