With my second card I decided to try something different, I dressed little Laura in a very spring, colourful dress and decided to make a not wedding card.



One of the papers is Prima, the other one is from stash. The flowers are Petalloo, brads are Woodware, the sentiment is Whiff of Joy, the rest is from stash.

This week the host at the Ellephantastic Cards and Crafts is the lovely Jane and she chose the theme "Sew Special".
I decided to go with real sewing on my card, but without a sewing machine it was a rather hard task and I must confess I'm not all that happy with the result, but once I finished my hard, I was too tired to make another one.

For this challenge the DT have used an adorable image called "Marley and Charlie - Cheese", designed by Helen. You can find this adorable image in Ellephantastic Cards & Crafts store. Helen has other crafting goodies in her store, too, some fabulous papers, stamps and more, do visit her store and have a look around.

My card:



The image is like I said, Marley and harlie cheese. the papers are Basic Grey - Arhaic". The sentiment is C.C Designs - "All Women". The flowers are Petaloo, the ribbon is from stash.

I thought I saw a fish...

Hello!

I was supposed to post this earlier tonight, but we had a sort of thunderstorm here and I didn't want to use my computer. Anyway, I made this card for my nephew, he's talking about the sea constantly these days and I can totally see him in this adorable image. I loved this Belles'n Whistles stamp from the moment I saw it, just because it reminds me of my nephew so much. I'm entering the following challenges with this card:

Stamp with Stampavie and more - the theme is "Sparkling"

The adorable stamp is Belles 'n Whistles -"Goggles". I used one of my new sentiment stamps, from "All Women" set from C.C Designs, I really love it. The papers are download, but I don't remember which ones, anymore. I used two more stamps, a fish stamp and a flower stamp from Queen Kat Designs. I added some glitter glues on the fish and in the center of the flowers. The "Sun" and the rope are from stash.



The image, as usual, was coloured with watercolour pencils.

Picking Cherries

Hello!

I received some new Stampavie stamps the other day and I couldn't wait to ink up some of them. So, I made a card last night, following the fabulous sketch by Diane at the Stampavie challenges, I rotated the sketch for my card.

The papers are K&Co-Clasic K McKenna, which were bought, just like the Prima flowers which I used, at the Bunny Zoes Crafts. The sentiment is C.C Designs, I used an edge punch and added some lace and ribbon from stash



The adorable image was coloured with watercolour pencils and distressed with a distress ink pad - "Tattered Rose".
