Springtime Cutie and Friend

Wow! only two weeks to go, and we get a visit from the big guy in

the red suit. I still need another 6 weeks in order to be ready, but I

don't think that is going to happen.

At Penny's Paper Crafty, we have our second last challenge for 2013, 

and for this one we have a theme that many of you will love. It is

'FEMININE WITH A SENTIMENT'

This week we have three lovely sponsors

and

and

Thank you to all three.

I was asked to choose a Saturated Canary Image to work with, and 

I fell in love with The Seasons - Springtime 2. Isn't she gorgeous? I love 

her little friend, sitting there licking her paw.

I really enjoyed making this card, and think it could easily be described as 'feminine'.

A closer look at this little beauty, and her furry friend,

 both coloured with Promarkers.

Inside my card. I applied Stickles Star Dust to all the butterflies.

Feathers, Flowers and Frills

Hello fellow crafters,

This is my second post today, because I have made two cards for this week's 

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge, where our theme is 

'WET OR DRY EMBOSSING'

and this week our sponsors are

http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/

and

http://dragonslairdesigns.com/shop/

I gave this card to a close friend, Sue, on her milestone birthday. The '50' was cut

from a recycled glittery Christmas card, and I put loads of Star Dust Stickles on

her underskirt, but unfortunately it does not show. The Stickles is just visible

around the Labels die-cut on the front and inside of the card.

A close-up look at Jules and her kitty. 

A closer look at the flowers and feather. I bought a small bag of the feathers two years ago at a craft show in Farnborough, near London, and I bought that gorgeous velvet and tulle flower from Di's Scrapbook Shop, at The Entrance (about 2 hrs. drive from here).

As usual, I decorated the inside of the card. The dark layer under the embossed panel

looks black, but it is actually the same burgundy as on the front of the card.
