Flowerpot peeker



   The image used on this card is a Bugaboo digi calledChibiflowerpot peeker anf I have coloured it using promarkers. I then matted it onto pearlescent card cut using a Tattered Lace pearl circle die. The next two layers were cut using tattered Lace pearl square dies and the final two layers were plain squares. I added a copper peel off sentiment to the flowerpot label and two little peel off flowers in two of the corners.

Accident prone

The sentiment as cut using tattered Lace's happy birthday swirl die snipping th AY so that it begins to fall. The name was cut out using Tattered Lace's Chantilly alphabet.

Sewn with love


   The theme for the first Send A Smile 4 Kids challenge of 2020 is valentine or love cards.
   I printed a decoupage sheet using a House Mouse Design CD ROM and matted it onto blue card. The backgound paper was also printed using a House Mouse Design CD ROM and before matting it onto the same blue coloured card I wrapped dark crimson ribbon round it. I added some unused decoupage pieces to the bottom corner of the main image and also a sentiment which I matted onto crimson card.

Heron's rest



   Like many people I was tempted by the sale of craft goodies. This card was made using on of those purchases.
   The frame was made using Tattered Lace's notched rectangle dies and behind it I attached a charisma image cut using Beverley Eden's heron's rest die (the new purchase) and trimmed the edges. This was backed by cloud paper printed using the second Illustrious Illusions CD ROM from My Craft Studio.
   I cut a strip from a background pad accompanying the die and matted this and the framed image onto as near a matching coloured card that I had and then matted the whole onto cream card. I added die cut words to the strip and a gold peel off sentiment to the side of the card.
