Right for my card I used promarkers to colour the image,d'vine swirls embossing folder,ribbon,a 'made with love'charm,3 buttons,Martha Stewart border punch,'thinking of you'stamp and blue and white cardstock.I hope you like it and thankyou for taking the time to have a look on my blog and If you have the time I appriciate any comments you are able to give.Goodnight all sleep well and I shall post again soon.

Look What I Found At The Bottom Of My Garden....









Hi everyone hope you all had a lovely easter weekend I had a lovely meal out with my parents my sister and partner and a few friends it was lovely anyway enough of me.
Tonight i wanted to share another challenge card with you this one fits into a few so I will list them at the bottom of this post.
I have been admiring all of the Sweet pea stamps and at the moment I only have 2 to my collection and I know a lot of you have seen this one before recently but i thought i would use her again in a different colour theme,this one is called 'the love is gone'.
just a simple one tonight but i wanted the eye to be drawn to the image and not too much of a busy backround and I say if its not pink then its got to be purple.lol.
I coloured my image with promarkers and highlighted with glitter I was very lucky this easter as my boyfriend bought me 4 packs of promarkers in the new seasons collection so i was a happy bunny. The greeting is from crafters companion flower fairies set and the papers are from a Daisy and Dandilion pad.I also used a Martha Stewart punch,ribbon,flower and a baby rose.

I hope you like my card and I would like to thank each and everyone of you for taking a look especially those of you who have the time to leave me a comment I love you all.
Hugs

Cute Couple Enter Challenges


Hi all tonight I am sharing a card i made this afternoon I would've posted sooner but my partner has been busy on the computer and I practically had to scream and shout to get on here,as you can see it worked.lol.
I just love the new city girls set of stamps that Whiff Of Joy have made I have just recieved my second one in the collection and I think it works really well stamped together with the gorgeous lady as a cute couple.
I have decided to enter a few challenges with this card Firstly the sketch is from I love Promarkers and they have also asked you to use swirls and flourishes.Second I am entering it into Passion For Promarkers and the theme this week is to use 2 images,I am also entering it into Your Next Stamp who are challenging us to use Purple.I am also entering into the Allsorts challenge which is no designer papers.
For this card I have coloured with promarkers and highlighted areas with a little glitter Ithen inked the edge of my topper with brilliance Lavender dew drop ink and then used a swirl stamp from inkidinkado set around the edge and embossed with silver embossing powder by Debbi Moore.I layered onto silver mirror board and purple card.Then I embossed 2 squares of white card using cuttlebugs birds and swirls folder inked the edges slightly and matted onto the same purple card.For the corners I used the same swirl stamp as before but used purple embossing powder and finished with the border in the centre using a Martha Stewart punch.
I hope you like it and thankyou all for popping over to take a look.
OMG I almost forgot those of you who follow me will know that I have had a bit of luck lately with challenges and candy and today I found out that I have won the Saturday Spotlight prize which is 5 digis of my choice from the Doodle Palace.I was so excited Can't wait to show you what ones I have chosen.
Take care
