Best wishes

 Dear bloggers,

The clear stamp that I have used on this card is from Kaiser Craft and I have coloured the image with my daughter's colour pencils. The designer papers are from my stash. A Kaiser Craft die has been used to cut the sentiment which was coloured with Pentel watercolours after being die cut. 

There was a boo boo on the right hand side of the card hence I had to do some bandaging with the designer paper on both sides to make it appear symmetrical. 

I will take part in the following challenges:

Wedding card

 Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card to show you made with a die I purchased on ebay a few months ago. I have used pearlised paper to cut the flowers.

Wink of Stella was used to make it more sparkly and I think it would make a sweet wedding card. 

I am not a big fan of the sentiment, 'best wishes' but it was lying on my table so off I went with it.

Down below is a close up of the flowers with Wink of Stella - she is one of my bestest friends.

I will participate in the following challenges with my card:

Water coloured roses at a workshop

Hello dear bloggers,

The roses on the is card were coloured in a water colour class I attended with both my daughters in July. It was meant to be a treat for my birthday. The black paper for the die cut sentiment has been die cut from a thick envelope. A square nestie was die cut on card stock and I stuck the roses and the leaves which have been die cut from cardboard. They have been coloured with water colours as well. The hand tied satin ribbon is from my stash. 

I will enter this card in the following challenges:

Fluorescent feather

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card that I made for an order of 12 cards. The funds will go to support a shelter for abused women.

Yaay! I am so happy. I created the background with  fluorescent pink from Maala and the red was a Sakura acrylic tube. I did a smoosh with them and it was great fun. The sentiment was die cut from the same paper and I used a brick embossing folder. The embossed paper has been propped up on foam dots for added dimension.

Down below are rest of the cards in almost similar design.

I will enter the cards in the following challenges:
