A vintage look easel card this time featuring a Sugar Nellie digi stamp which I have coloured with promarkers.  I distressed and inked the edge of the image before layering it with die cuts.  The translucent one is parchment paper.  These gorgeous papers are from Dovecraft and the sentiment stamp from Hobby Art.The leaves are punched and the foam roses from my stash along with the ribbon bow which I topped with an old button.  If you look closely you will see that not only is one of the papers stripey but it has dots on it too.  Two for the price of one!!!

Patchwork Bunch Of Balloons

A quick CAS card today.  The teddy stamp is from LOTV and has been coloured with promarkers.  The sentiment stamp is from Hobby Art and has been stamped directly onto the base card.  I have doodled some scrolls around the sentiment with a fineliner to finish off.

Butterflies & Flowers

Here is a card with, I hope, a vintage feel to it.

First I added some leafy paper to my dark green base card.  I then stamped some scrolls, butterflies and a sentiment onto the paper.  Next I stamped the flowers onto contrasting paper.  I attached these after fussy cutting and shaping.  Lastly I added some Stickles to the centre of the flowers.  The stamps are from Hero Arts and the papers from my scrapbox.

Birthday Boy

Today I have made a CAS male card using the three primary colours.  The sentiment stamp is from Pink Gem and the VW camper stamp is from Hobby Art.  Each stamp has been heat embossed and layered onto matching squares.  I added a bit of faux stitching for interest.  The sentiment has been stamped directly onto the card blank and I could not resist adding a small gem.

Today I fancied a change from making a 'cute' card so this is what I came up with. Not sure if I should have left the ribbons off though. Having done lots of layered panels I stamped some foliage onto the top one. I then stamped the flowers onto some patterned paper and cut them out. I added them to the foliage using foam pads before adding some buttons. A bit of ribbon and some peel-off corners finishes the card. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.
