Vintage camera

Twinkle lane designs  are our sponsor this week,

over at The Colour Crazy Challenge.

I got this amazing image - perfect for my Dad!

It's called "Vintage Camera."

I looked up some old cameras on the www and coloured this one with the

 same kind of colours (with my alcohol pens).

I added a camera film diecut - which I have had for years.

A few different papers and an embossed card with stars on, sit in the background -

which I inked around the edges. 

The "smile!" sentiment also comes with the image. I cut this freehand, to look like 

an old camera flash.

I used a die for the happy birthday sentiment...a bargain which I 

bought in The Works - and cut in half. 

A couple of punched gold stars finished this card.

Cherry blossom branch

At Patties Creations this month, with Valentines day drawing near,

Pattie has challenged us:  "love, love, love."

I wanted to make something a little different.. possibly a card i could give to my husband.

I used "Cherry Blossom Branch" image(coloured with my promarkers)

 with a few die-cuts - 'birds' and 'precious heart' - and a stamped sentiment.

I dry embossed the inside edge of both the white piece and the spotty card

and inked all edges with a grey chalk eye.
