Life begins at 40

I made this card for a friend who is forty. I used a template from w.s designs I embossed the stamps in silver and coloured with sakura glaze pens. The heart is filled with fine green glitter.
I would like to enter this card for crafty Ann's challenge. The challenge this week is colour, the three colours to be used are lilac, pink and lemon, other colours can be used too. I am also entering The Cute Card Thursday Challenge. Celebration.
Thankyou for looking

Bah Humbug Challenge stitching

I would like to enter this card into the latest Bah Humbug Challenge Stitchin". I am determined to try and enter as many as I can in order to have lots of cards to send to friends at Christmas.
This stamp is from Graphicus and I have painted the tree with Derwent aquacolour, I have stitched around the silver baubles with red embroidery thread. The faux stitches around the other baubles are done with Sakura Glaze pens. The baubles are coloured with stickles and the snowflakes around the tree are embossed with sprinkle and sparkle shimmer powder. The pot is embossed with sprinkle and sparkle christmas green. The backing paper is from the Artylicious Christmas cd rom. The sparkle doesn't really show up on the photo.
thankyou for looking

Rainbow lady's challenge

Hi what a beautiful day it has been today, the sun was shining and there was a bit of warmth in it. I took my dog Olivia to the beach and felt the real feel good factor.
This weeks Rainbow Lady Challenge is to stamp on an unusual material. Last week we put up some new vertical blinds and had to cut them to size. I kept some of the off cuts and this is what I used to stamp on with a stamp from The Stamp Man Aspects of Design Flutters and Florals using stazon.I thought this was an unusual material lol. I coloured with Sakura glaze pens and cut out with circle nestabilities. Thankyou for looking in today.
