Round and Round and Round,

I really had fun making this card this morning, I knew that I had to use a stampavie stamp and circles or rounds, so just let me mojo flow, the sarah kay image was sent to me by a friend, as I dont own any stamps myself yet, (on my want or should I say NEED list).

I coloured her in with watercolours and cut her out with a slight edge left round her,used stamping up double sided paper to cut out my lace work on,

added a very large brad, some smaller brads and some round gold coloured gems,

then for the insert I used a brown plain paper, added a green circle and flowers with a couple of green gems this time, to tie in with the front of the card.

When I went through the challenge list I found it suits all of the following,

Hope you enjoy looking at it, as much as I enjoyed making it, and I do love the final item.

Flowers galore

I wanted to do a little something that was different from totally stamping, so above is the results,
I did watercolour the stamped hedgehog, but for a difference, I embossed the brown card and cut it up to look like a flower pot, I then cut, punched, embellished, gems, the flowers and put them on the two layer scalloped oval, I also then embossed the pale blue backing, using my cuttlebog folder, I then hand cut out and 3d a decoupage butterfly. this is all on a pale lilac card.

This fits into the challenges on these blogs -

Flowers and Dragonfly's

I have stamped and embossed my round Dragonfly and Lilly onto a blut card, I then used sakura pens to colour it in, mounted it onto white card cut round it with my scallop scissors, and the backing paper is a bit I had in my bits to use up stash, added a sheer ribbon then put my stamped image onto the centre of the card.

This is going to be entered into multiple challenges, as its suitable for a few that are out there at the moment, you can see them at the following links,
