My daughter Aleeza's design

 Hello sweet bloggers,

There was some diecuts and lying around on my art table with the yellow stencilled flowers you see on the round nestie here. Aleeza stencilled the flowers with distress ink and she laid it all out for me. And here is the final card. I propped up the yellow stencilled round nestie on corrugated board and the sentiment banner was raised as well after giving it many layers. The balloon on the left was given three layers and the strings are hand drawn. 



I will take part in the following challenges with my card:

Peaches and cream

Hello dear bloggers,

I stamped this image many years ago and every time it brings me so much joy to use it. I know I should be mentioning the names of the stamp etc but you know I am sitting too comfortably on my big Lazboy to get up and find the name for you. So please do overlook that. I stamped the image with distress ink and coloured in with watercolour pencils and went over it with Prismas to add more life to the flowers. The edging was coloured in with a Prisma pencil as well. I only coloured the edges of the cardstock under the image instead of using a whole sheet of coloured paper. Frugal crafter me. The bottom has two layers of lace for added effect. No sentiment here so as to make it more flexible.

 
I will take part in the following challenges:
