Butterfly Blue for Mum

This lovely card was made in Craft Artist 2, using a lovely butterfly digikit.  The card looks lilac in picture, but is a loverly butterfly blue.

I layered up the butterfly and painted with clear nail varnish which I find gives a lovely shiny finish, same with the flowers. 

A gorgeous sheer bow with a butterfly charm and some glamour dust finish off lovely.  Inside complements the front.

Daisy 3rd birthday Barnyard

A commissioned card for a little girl I've been making cards for since her birth.

I used a free cd from a magazine - lovely graphics on this.  Layered up selected elements to add dimension, added stickles, glitter glue and heat embossed parts.  Punched butterflies and cerise bow finishes off this very girly card.

Tatty Teddy Its a Girl

One of several New Baby cards I have been making recently...... this one uses the adorable Tatty Teddy from the Docrafts cd rom.

I've layered up three of the bp's, glittered and glamour dusted elements on the image, added some clear dewdrops, stick on pink pearls, a lovely diamante pin, ribbon and a tiny fabric butterfly.

Picture to the right shows a close up of the lovely sheer ribbon and the little "its a girl" tag.
These cards look gorgeous in real life but the pics do not show them to their best.
A lovely 8 x 8 card I made for my grandson's 5th birthday in a couple of weeks.  This was using graphics from my free cd rom with Complete Cardmaking with your PC.  There are some really lovely designs on this cd to work with.

I have layered up the bp's, added clouds, number 5, the fabulous cow who I've called Daisy, fence and grass - heat embossed to give lovely finish.

Added some glitter glue and some gold outliner for the text to add texture.  I'm very pleased with this card.

Tatty Teddy and Country Companions Pair

 Gorgeous turquoise blue tatty teddy card, layered up in co-ordinating patterened paper.  I've added a turquoise bow, some stick on gems and glamour dust.  Computer generated sentiment and lovely end result.
Same card layout as above but using country companions graphic, layered up, glamour dusted, gems and ribbon bow.  This is on a lovely lilac base card.

Two Tall Cards

Two tall cards I made up recently. . . the lilac one used a cuttlebug embossing folder, I run through twice and cut out some of the hearts, embossed with copper embossing powder and added using 3d foam pads.  Used Spellbinders die for the topper and added a lovely matching lilac bow.

The pink one was layered up and butterflies cut with Tonic punch, frilly ribbon in pink and cream narrow ribbon bow.

No sentiment has been added so can be used for any occasion.  I quite like how these turned out.
