Teddy Bears Picnic!!

This is my second post of the night as i have just finished this card. The sketch i used is from the Flutter By Wednesday challenge. You must also use either a butterfly, fairy or angel on the birthday card for it to count so i used a butterfly stamp i had in my stash. The challenge at Passion for Promarkers is "Teddy Bears Picnic" so i used this LOTV stamp and coloured it with promarkers. The papers are both from the Lush Collection from My Minds Eye. I just had to have them when i seen them! The ribbon is one i bought when i was on holiday from a lovely little farm shop that sold organic and home grown/made produce. The ribbon was expensive but worth it. The camera doesnt show it well.  I used used 3 pink brads which were the perfect colour for my papers and fits with the Party time Tuesday challenge which is a Birthday card with brads. I am going to also enter into the Paper Take Weekly Challenge. Their challenge this time is "Just The One" so i used one colour theme, Vintage Pink. I could also use just the one metal wire heart charm! The sentiment was just one i had in my stash from a pack of clear stamps.

There are a few other challenges i am entering into also so heres links to them all;

Thanks for looking! Thats me off to bed, Good night...well its officially morning now!

Easel card!

Had a sleepless night as usual so was up making this card at 2am. I seem to be much more creative at that time of night! I also love the quietness..kids sleeping..just bliss!

 I love making easel cards, so simple but look great! I have also stuck to my favourite colours! I am entering the card into The Stamp Man challenge as the new challenge is easel cards. My image is from LOTV, one of my favourites and coloured with promarkers. I have embossed one of the layers under the image using my cuttlebug and floral folder, this fits with the challenge at "Our Creative corner".  I have used Acetate and made them stand out more by coating with Glossy Accents and sprinkled with MS Glitter and finished of with Pearls. The I love Promarkers challenge is Acetate so i am hoping the flowers will be enough to count! I really dont remember using acetate on cards since last Christmas, The DT cards over at I love Promarkers were amazing, gave me lots of ideas for next time! The challenges over at Flutter By Wednesday and Party Time Tuesday  is "Anything Goes". 

Heres the list of Challenges and links to them;
