Now you may have noticed several Mother's Day cards on my blog recently. No, I only have 1 Mum but I sell them at work. These 2 couldn't be more different from each other, could they. My gorgeous City Girls arrived this week from Whiff of Joy. These girls are everywhere in blogland and I couldn't wait to use one, I just can't decide which one is my favourite but I think it might be this one. I can't believe I have only just made a card for the challenge of lavender and lace at Cute Daisy May. Those who know me well will know that any purple challenge draws me like a magnet so why am I so late with this one? Only just in time too for using the fab sketch from Sketch and Stash, which worked so well with a tall card. As well as the new image, the little dots are made using a new stamp called Field of Sky. My good friend Lynsey told me about this stamp as I admired the effect on many of her cards. The papers are also new, Papermania Heather Capsule collection. There are some really gorgeous papers in these collections. As well as using my MS doily lace punch I also added some old lace to the horizontal strip. Some punched fern leaves and a punched and Prima flowers, brad and pearls finish off this card.
The second card uses a free digi download from Bugaboo. The orange punched strip was a sample which was included in my last order from Dies to Die For. I used a Cuttlebug embossing frill on it and used my MS floral lace punch on the red and white strip. More punched fern leaves and Prima flowers plus some larger flowers I bought at a show. I also added some faux stitching which just finishes off the image nicely.
Challenges for this card are:
Moving along with the Times Fab sketch and theme of cute companions
Crafty cardmakers Digi
CRAFT Digi colouring
Dare U 2 Digi Stamp Punches
Bee Crafty Sew cute
One Stitch at a time Stitching
