Pig out!

The Colour Crazy Challenge are being sponsored this time by Imagine That Digi Stamps. 

I used the very cute image called "a little behind."

It comes in a set of super-cute images and sentiments -

although for this card, I made my own sentiment as I was giving this to a friend

who I had also bought a little bag of edible treats for. 

 I definitely wanted the pink / brown colour combo for this card,

so found some matching papers in my stash. 

I inked and dry embossed the edges of each piece, added some faux-stitching

and some punched flowers and butterflies and some diecut swirls and leaves.

This card was very well received! :) 

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Card for a young girl.

My neighbours little girl turned 8 last week

and I made her this card.

Pink, flowers, birds, bunting...

 The frame was diecut on my bigshot, 

along with the "happy birthday" her name and age and the little birds.

I cut little triangles for the bunting and popped the frame and sentiment 

onto 3d foam. 

The butterflies were punched.

I fussy cut one of the flowers from the design to pop in the top left-hand corner,

Teacups

We have a fabulous new sponsor for our challenge

over at The Colour Crazy Challenge...

Rachel Vass designs.

I got this gorgeous image called: Sketchy Rose Cups.

I love using this image and wanted to give it a very delicate look.

So, I used a pink petticoat backing paper (no longer trading)

and some pastel coloured promarkers, to colour the image.

I inked all edges in a dusky pink inkpad and dry embossed around the edge of the image. 

Die-cut corners and a few punched butterflies finished this card.

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

Birthday!

This month at Pattie's Creations, 

it's the favourite "anything goes" challenge.

I chose "fondant cake" and was spoilt for choice, because it comes with 2 images!

This is one of them...

I picked some pastel coloured promarkers to colour the cake

 and added a little pattern to each layer - using white sakura pen and 3D pearl effects.

I die-cut the frame and handcut a few little bunting triangles,

which I patterned with my sakura pens. 

As I often do, I finished with a dry embossed line around the edge of the card.

I am sending this card to my friend, for her birthday (she is a cake baker!)

(The little "happy birthday" scroll is not park of the image -
I stamped it from one of my sets and and fussy cut around the scroll. )
