A Birthday Posy For You

Good evening

Did everyone have a good weekend and Bank Holiday?  I got to spend some of yesterday crafting and this is what I made.

 

I've gone for a DL sized card as I think it fits these images perfectly.  The image is Posy Trio by LOTV.  I stamped each of the images onto a circle die cut and coloured them with Copic pens.  Glitter has been added to the centre of the flowers.

All Tied Up at Winter Wonderland

Good morning

Today's Friday which means its time for a brand new challenge over at Winter Wonderland.  This week it's Marianne's turn to host the challenge and the theme is:

All Tied Up

(we want to see something tied - eg. ribbon, twine)

and here's my DT card.

I've used James Deck the Hall by LOTV which I coloured using Copic pens.  For the tinsel I use glitter to give it some texture. 

The papers are Stocking Fillers by First Edition.  The ribbon I picked up from the LOTV shop when they celebrated their 9th birthday.  The stars are a Memory box die which have also been glittered!!  

We are sponsored this week by Wild Rose Studio who are offering two stamps of the winners choice.

May Flowers

Good evening

Well it's Friday night which means the weekend is finally here and I'm so pleased - it's been a hectic week at work!!  Never mind only next week to go then I'm on holiday for a week (Yippee).

Anyway enough of my waffling and onto my card.  It's another attempt at a CAS card.  The image is Spring has Sprung by Stampavie and the sentiment is Set 25 - Handwritten Phrases by LOTV.

I've coloured the image with Copic pens.

The background paper is from one of the Nitwit collections (sorry I can't remember which one - some of my papers have got mixed up).  I really need to find some time to sort out my craft papers.

A Martha Stewart PATP punch was used to create the mat that the image is stamped onto and a small pearl rhinestone was added to each of the four corners. 
 
I would like to enter this card into the Without Words Challenge - Brings Forth May Flowers. 

Well that's it from me.  Have a good weekend whatever you get up to.
