A Sweet Little Girl .... and a Prize

Happy Saturday!

Don't they come round quick? My body is complaining very loudly this morning, so I'm going to have to take things even slower this morning.

Todays card is made using another of Sheena's new stamps - Busy Doing Nothing. Isn't she gorgeous? She reminds me of my little niece, she's cute as a button too.

I stamped the images onto watercolour card using versafine ink, and coloured using Derwent Watercolour Pencils and Lyra Aquacolour's. The backing paper is from SWALK 2 cd-rom. The butterfly border was punched using an EK Success punch (another birthday present), and one of the little punched out butterflies was then added to the main image. I decided to leave it without a sentiment.

I'm very excited to tell you that I've won a cd-rom in the lovely Edna's blog candy draw. Thank you very much Edna, it will be put to good use :-D

Enjoy your weekend whatever your plans.

Good Afternoon.

It's been another one of those days where it doesn't get light, and the wind - it's a real hold onto your hat day. I've not stepped outside the door!!!

Today's card is for the girls to send to my mum for her birthday next week.

This card is made using the new Faye Whittaker decoupage from Joanna Sheen. This is taken from the 'In The Garden' set. The other set called 'At The Seaside' accidentally fell into my basket too, so many more of these to follow. The quality of the decoupage paper is fabulous. I do enjoy cutting out decoupage, and these are an absolute joy.

This reminds me of when my eldest daughter was about 3 and she had her own special watering can at mum and dad's. She used to take great care watering the flowers.

The backing paper is printed from a Floral cd from Create and Craft. The letters are stamped out using the large Alphabet stamps from Dimension Fourth. The flowers are made using an x-cut embossing punch with a sprinkle of brown flowersoft in the centres, the leaves are an x-cut punch, and the stems/swirls are from a Marianne Die. I got a new EK Success Butterly border punch for my birthday, I used this to decorate the inside of the card and then used 3 of the little cut-out butterflies on the front of the card.

Catch up again soon.
