A guest design spot!

I was selected to be a guest designer for Mari Ko Creations!

I was sent some really beautiful images to have a play with...

The first card is made using "fall floral coffee" - 

I coloured the sweet image with my alcohol markers,

adding a strip of corrugated card for the middle section of the cup. 

I fussy-cut the flowers and leaves, and popped them on 3d foam. 

Some pretty papers and dry embossing, finished this card, along with a few

punched butterflies. 

The sentiment was stamped directly onto the card. 

I would like to add this card into the following challenges: 

Alphabet challenge - nature - 12 Oct

Crafting with an attitude - atg - 1 Oct

Cute card thursday - autumn - 4 Oct

Crafty creations - atg - 9 Oct

The second card I made, uses the image "Apple cider and you"

(another beautiful image to work with.)

I embossed and hand-cut a frame, to fit around the sentiment - 

which I printed directly onto the card.

(This set comes with both the image and the sentiment.)

After cutting out the image, I coloured it with alcohol markers and 

and raised it a little on 3d foam. 

I matted the frame, and inked the edges, finally adding a punched butterfly. 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
