Forever Friends sketch challenge

I must say i loved making this card , but you want to see the mess i have to clear up with everything i got out lol. I started by cutting the doily shape out on my Cameo , then joined them together with a small piece of card to make an Easel shaped card , i used papers from my stash , the image was from Digital Designer cds , and that was plased on a circle of paper that i glues lace to the outside edge , i put 2 rows of ribbon accross the middle and wooden flowers along the edge of the large circle . The bottom just has a tag mounted on contrasting paper with another wooden flower to finish it off .

Cream on Cream

This card was inspired by Christina from http://flowersribbonsandpearls.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/zig-zag-card-for-another-look.html, she is totally awsome at what she does and creates and shares it all with us , she has really helped me with my card making and made me think out of the box when it comes to making up my cards ...

I made this card using cream cardstock , a martha stewert punch and spellbinders , with ribbon and pearls to embellish , there are butterflies i cut on my Cameo added to diferent layers .  It is a Zig Zag card all interlocked together ,  but even with all the embellishments on it it still goes flat enough to go inside a normal envelope ... So here is the card ....and thanks for dropping by ...Hugs Sue xx

Green and Cream

This card i made last night while watching Sue Wilson demoing the new Spellbinders Dies , i ussed papers from my Hot Off the press stash i have had for ages , i love there papers and didnt want to use them , but my new years resolution was to use my stash so i have been doing .....

Its an a5 card in a deep cream colour i matted 3 shades of green paper onto the base card , the top layer i ran through my new Mbossing folder , i cut lots of different shapes and leaves from my spellbinders . The stamp i think is lovely i use it a lot , the roses were made by hand cutting some swirls (the rougher the cut the better ) out of cream and green paper , made them up and added pearls . the ribbon i have had ages again i didnt want to use it but i made myself lol. I am not usually a green person but i really do like the way this turned out .........
