Cocktail, anyone?

 I got this image from our fab sponsor this week (Polkadoodles).

It's called "Cherry Cocktail."

I used my alcohol markers and promarkers to colour this cute image. 

I used some backing papers from a free pack of "summer" papers, 

which I got free in a magazine a looooong time ago!

The sentiment was stamped. 

I put some glossy accents on the cherries

and added some dots and faux stitching to the papers.

Hootie birthday

"Things with wings" is the challenge this month at Pattie's Creations.

I have used the image called "Hootie"

and have made this card for my cousin, who loves owls!

 I have been having a mini sort in the craft room

and found some small doilies and I thought half of one would fit perfectly on this card.

I was playing about with the design for ages 

and it all seemed to come together when I spotted the doilies.

I fussy cut Hootie, after colouring him with my promarkers. 

The backing papers, circle with flower and sentiment all came from a freebie 

paper pack, which I must have gotten in a magazine at some point. 

The punched butterfly and faux stitching around the edges,

finished this card off.
