Maggie!

This card has really worked well. I am thrilled to bits with it! I know some of you may think I've gone mad but I LOVE it!!!!! Maggie has come up really well - I love the pearl stickles for her beads! The Gelly Rol pens for her hat and bag just add extra sparkle and the mirror paper reflects that lovely lilac colour.

Friday Sketchers challenge - with a summer party theme! Hope you all like it - I needed a bit of brightening up today.

Spinning Card for my daughters exams!

I'm a bit dissapointed with the photo for this one! It looks much better in real life! My first attempt at a spinning card and I was pleased with the results. The colours are my daughters fav's and I just love the elephant stamp!!

Cute Card Thursday - Floral Fantasy

I made this card for my niece who is just about to start her GCSE's!!! I just love the Gorjuss girl image - it's so versatile! The flowery paper and ribbon are both Papermania and the card is SU! I have used Aubergine ink for the sentiment from SU! and black Stazon ink for the image. I use watercolours to colour the image. A few stars add some sparkle and the flowery clip is my new thing!!
