Rabbit angel

I was feeling rather down at work today and then came home and did some ironing (yawn). Just had time to make this card before getting the dinner ready and it really cheered me up. Who could be down when looking at this cute little rabbit dressed as an angel from Daisy and Dandelion. Coloured with PMs including my new Dusky Rose and some Shimmerz on the wings and Sakura Stardust on the halo and star. The gorgeous papers are Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses. Aren't those little reindeer sweet on the base paper. I added some gold brads, a Hero Arts poinsettia with a gold spacer and red shiny brad. Holly leaves cut from glitter card using a Sizzix die. A gold sentiment and star complete the card.I'm so pleased with the way this card turned out.

1st Birthday

A friend of mine at work had a little boy last year and this card is for his 1st birthday later this month. The sketch is from Stamp with fun. Anything baby goes is the theme at Stampin for the weekend. Summer is the challenge at Die Cut Dreams and I thought this card has a real summery feel especially with the backing paper with the suns on it. We could do with a bit of that as today has been horrible for much of the day, very windy and wet. The gardens need the rain but I prefer it confined to the night. The image is a Daisy and Dandelion stamp layered onto a nestability shape embossed with Cuttlebug tiny bubbles. The balloons are a Sizzix die. The papers, number and stars are from stash. Gold zigzag is from Papercellar.

3 in one challenge

One of my challenges for myself today was to see how many challenges I could fit in. This card is for 3 challenges. There are several challenges at the moment to do with numbers and the first challenge is for Allsorts to only use one of anything. I have used one image, one paper, one matting card, one flower and one butterfly. The other 2 challenges are both Animals, Lili of the Valley and The Pink Elephant.
