Sweet Sucess!

Today's card has been made to incorporate two challenges, Housemouse & Spoon Full of Sugar challenge blogs. This is my first entry to the Housemouse challenge blog and the theme this week was "no colouring". I found this a challenge & decided to paper piece the stamped image. I am quite pleased with the result, will probably use this method again! The SFS challenge blog had this fab sketch this week. I couldn't wait to use it! Recipe * DCWV papers * Coredinations card stock * Housemouse "sweet hiest" stamp * Prima flowers * Stickles glitter glue * Buttons from stash * CB swirls Hope you like it! xxx

Papernation fairy coloured with promarkers and mounted with Nesties(labels2). Stamped greeting,paper lace and stickers to embellish!. I got lots of lovely stickers in Accessorize at the weekend, nicer than any I have seen in the craft shop and 75p a sheet in the sale! I never noticed there crafty bits & bobs before!

Bee Creative!

This card was made for the "Creative Inspirations" challenge blog which has recently formed. I saw this morning it was "masking" this week which is a fab technique. I used PB "Art of Love" stamp as it really lends itself to this technique! It was also nice to use one of my long cards for a change!

Well two posts in one day is enough for me as I am off to work tonight boo hoo!!!!
