Live and let Die

Caardvarks challenge this week is to create a card using die cuts. And as i've been in a creative mood today i thought i would give it a try.

I used a pearlised backing paper and stamped flowers with versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder that has a touch of glitter in it.

The butterfly die is sizzix butterfly #2 that i have coloured with pearly watercolours and then edged with a gold pen.

The sentiment is a woodware stamp that is embossed in gold.

Lots of Sparkle

I had a lot of fun making this card for the challenge on Cute Card Thursday.

The image is from Cute companions, which i coloured with watercolour pencils and then glittered the dress and the butterfly. The backing papers are from the cute companions CD

Crafty Friends Crafty Monday

I think I have said before that a crafty friend Sandra and i get together on a monday to make a card. We choose a blog challenge and both do the same one and see how different our cards are. This week we chose the sketch on Friday Sketchers for our challenge.Once i had finished my card I also realised that it was perfect for the seasons challenge on Penny Black Saturday challenge.Here is how my card turned out, and if you pop over to Sandra's blog you will see how hers turned out
