Girly Birthday

This week's card features this really cute girl in her frilly dress. I have coloured her with Promarkers, and cut out with a scalloped oval nestie.
The leftover piece of DP is from a pad by Studio Calico, and the corner dies are from Memory Box, cut from a piece from my snippets box

Purrring!

This week's challenge at
 Cuttlebug Mania is to use cats!
I have diecut mine with my CB and also used it to emboss the two orange strips. I don't know who the word stamp is by, as I have lost the packaging.

First card for a while!

Today's card follows a sketch from Cardmaking Paradise. I have not been able to join in many of the sketch challenges, as we have been away too much!
The background paper is a pretty piece of Washi paper, and all edges are sponged with Inkadinkadoo Black Noir ink pad. The plain mauve piece is embossed with swiss dots folder, and the circle is cut out with scallop circles. A piece of mauve ribbon is set across the centre. I have added a sparkle to the flower with a Sakura pen, but it doesn't show in the scan.

Pink and Brown

I love how this has turned out.
The design is from Cardmaking Paradise and I cut it out on my Cameo. The edges are sponged with Distress - walnut stain, and I also stamped a wee flower on his tummy. The beak and feet are painted with acrylic paint.

April Showers

Here is another card I have made this week. Another digi that I am not sure who it was that designed it. I have coloured with copics, and used a leftover strip of DP under the image. The vertical piece was cut with my cb using a scalloped edge die, and the flourish was also cut from a scrap piece with my cb
