Mia In Kimono

I love this stamp by Wild Rose Studio and it fits well with the backing papers which are by Crafts Too. This is a really gorgeous pad as all the sheets are have a lovely gold pattern on them. The colours are to go with the photo inspiration challenge at Docerela Creations - what a lovely colour for you wedding theme. I've coloured Mia with Promarkers and the sentiment is stamped Brilliance Rocket Red Gold.  This is my favourite ink pad ever you can see the gold shimmer in the close up. The paper strips, image and sentiment ore edged with a gold Krylon pen. The layout is from the Sketch Saturday challenge.

Now, I really must get back to the two maze books I'm supposed to be doing.

Girlie Card For Going Buggy

This months challenge at Going Buggy is to make a Girlie card. I've used a Born To Shop image by DoCrafts and coloured it with Promarkers. The backing paper is from a beautiful pad by Lucy Cromwell - it's just lush. I've used a Dovecraft paper doily which is coloured with Pan Pastels. The border is cut with a Martha Stewart punch and stamped with another stamp from the Born To Shop set. The fabric flowers were in a box on the windowsill right in front of me and they fitted in well. They did have green leaves but looked awful when I stuck them on so I've unstuck them and removed the leaves - much better.

Polka Doodles Summer Challenge

The theme this week at Polka Doodles is Summer. For my card I've chosen an image from the Sugarplum Daisy CD which I coloured with Promarkers and a paper which I think is from the Pretty Sweet CD. I punched the daisies and buttercups but wasn't sure about the layout. Sketch N Stash came to the rescue with a fabulous sketch. I've used the flowers as one border at the bottom and used a Martha Stewart punch for another. A ribbon and card strip border for the left side and finished with a JustRite sentiment and some gems. I've had the JustRite stamps for a couple of years but only came across them again a couple of weeks ago and I think I'll be using them a lot now.
