3 little birds...

Well... How cute are these 3?

I love 'em!

They are from Sparkle n Sprinkle - the download is called "Wilson".

The cute 3 come with 2 sentiments. 7

Obviously, I have just used one on this card.

Its a great set - as you can use all the birds together like I have, or seperately.

I paper pieced each bird... colouring in their eyes, beaks and feet, 

with my alcohol pens.

I added a leafy backing paper

and a bit of embossing around the edge.

When I decide who I can use send this card to, I have room at the top, 

to add a name.

Baby Chick

What a little cutie I got this week

for the "anything goes" challenge at Glitter n Sparkle...

It's called "baby chick" and it's from Ppinkydolls.

It was so quick and simple to colour

with my alcohol pens,

then I added an ebossed background, a banner strip of paper 

from Pink Petticoat 

and some punched flowers and butterflies.

I love the colours of this card - soft and pastel.

(and the teeny little sentiment  nec.xt to the image

also came from Pink Petticoat.)

Mmmm...chocolate!

Uh oh!

I just realised that my "schedule post" didn't work!

This post was due on my blog on July 7th , as Pattie started

her new challenge at Patties Creations. 

Please don't ask me why it didn't come on - I have NO idea!

So I aplogise Pattie... late, but you know I was ready in plenty of time....

-----------------------------

One of my favourite challenges has just started at Patties Creations...

"something sweet - cake, candy, etc"

An excuse to use one of my fave images from Pattie... 

'chocolate chip cookie jar.'

I coloured the image with my alcohol pens and fussy cut around it.

I punched the border and the backing paper came from

 a lawn - fawn paper pack that I won a little while ago.

I loooove lawn fawn papers!

I punched the llittle butterflies and 

stamped the sentiment on the little banner at the bottom.

Freedom...

Sorry we are a bit late this week! 

At Glitter n Sparkle there have been some unforseen circumstances, 

which have resulted in us posting a new challenge a little later than usual.

Apologies! x

Anyhow.. the challenge this week is "freedom"

and I found a great image at Fabrika Fantasy...

My idea of freedom... 

having the time and place to dawdle along the beach, 

with the wind in my hair. 

(Although, Hubby would be with me, and our cat - Timbit!

Oh, and lots of chocolate!)

I coloured the background with my chalks, to give the 

soft impression of the beach, that I wanted. 

I printed out another image of the girl and coloured her with my alcohol pens

and decoupaged her back on her original place.

(just stuck down.. no 3d foam.)

The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat.

I embossed the edge of the image and 

chalked the dark blue backing.
