Here is a simple little Mother's Day card that I have made using chipboards given away with a magazine which I added glitter and diamond glaze to before attaching with foam pads. The printed ribbon has been recycled from a bouquet of flowers, sadly not for me. The little flower has been punched with a pearl added to the centre. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Time for another challenge at Whoopsi Daisy and this week we challenge you to 'Punch It Out' so let's see what you can do with your punches.

Today I have made a Post-It-Note Holder for my sister for Mother's Day. I have coloured the sweet image (one of my favourites) with promarkers and layered it with nesties. The sentiment has been stamped and layered in the same way. I have punched, embossed and layered the flowers adding gems to the centres and a few punched leaves. Finally I added a few punched butterflies and added some stickles to the bodies. The holder is closed with organza ribbon. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Today I am showing you a card I made some time ago at club. First I covered the base card with the stripey paper. Next I layered a panel and stamped it with a background stamp and tying a ribbon around it before attaching to the card base. Next I made another panel and this time used the main stamp which I then coloured with promarkers. To finish off I added some card candi. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Time for another Lili's Little Fairies challenge and this week we want to see 'Ribbon & Lace' on your creations, nice and easy!

I have made a card for my sister for Mother's Day this week. As she has a couple of cats I thought she would like this image. I have coloured the it with promarkers and layered it with nesties. The white panel has been punched with one of my favourite border punches and I have add some of my favourite ribbon, and if you look carefully you will see a little mouse charm dangling from it. The flowers have also been punched and I have added some of my favourite buttons to the centres. This was a great sketch to follow so I hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Today I have made a simple easel card following the great sketch. First I covered the base card with some gorgeous gingham digi paper. Next I added a panel which I dry embossed with a folder and heat embossed with hologram powder. I can't quite remember how I made the blue panel as I did it about four years ago. I think I used inks of some sort and spritzed it with something. Not very helpful I know, I just wish I could remember as it came out rather well. The image has been coloured with promarkers and cut out using a lacy oval nestie before attaching with foam pads. The flowers have been punched and embossed and I have added punched leaves and some gems. Finally I added some 'kraft' card candi to finish the card off. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

It's Monday again and time for another great challenge at Whoopsi Daisy. This week we want to see Lace and Pearls on your creations. Don't forget to check out the DT's gorgeous creations too.

Today I have made a wedding card and coloured the sweet image with promarkers, chalks and glitter. I layered the image onto a silver mirri lacy circle which I attached lace and pearls to. The base card has been divided in half using some gorgeous digi paper and embossed pearl paper. I then attached a punched border diagonally across the middle. Once attached I put a strip of D/S tape on it and added glitter. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.
