Sister's birthday card

My sister loves Gonks and I needed to make her a birthday card...

So I used this image from Patties Creations. 

 This gnome image is called "Gnome in teacup" and I fussy-cut away the teacup! 

My sister is not a lover of hot drinks, but loves Gnomes. 

I loved the fact that the gnome is popping up, over the sentiment, 

holding a star to 'create' her birthday wish.

I coloured (with my alcohol pens) and fussy cut the gnome and star.

I embossed a piece of card, adding some little white hand-drawn hearts every here and there.

I Inked the edge of a backing paper I thought my sister would like

and added some faux stitching with my white Sakura pen. 

I created a strip and stamped on the greeting, again, 

inking and using faux stitching around the edge. 

A little sprinkle of glitter round the edge of the star, finished this card. 

 I would like to add this into the following challenges:

Creative knockouts - embossing - 16th April

Krafty Chicks - birthday - 8th April

Mothers day

Over at Patties Creations this month,

I have used one of her newer images to make a Mothers Day card

for my mum...

 I dry-embossed the card, added a simple strip of paper, which

I felt co-ordinated with the flowers I coloured. 

I used my alcohol markers to colour the image. 

The sentiment was stamped in the bottom corner.

Pattie's Creations has so many new images in her store...

and this is one of them - 'Fushia hanging plant.'

I coloured the image with my alcohol pens and

fussy-cut around the image. 

I embossed a simple frame around the edge of the card

and stamped a sentiment in the bottom right corner.

 few punched butterflies finished this card.
