Red string
This digi coloured using Promarkers is call Red String and is from Star Stampz. After cutting it out using a Tattered Lace pearl rectangle die and before removing it from the die I brushed Distress Ink over the background. I cut the sentiment several times and layered it up to create depth. The hearts paper around which I wrapped narrow ribbon from my stash is matted and layered onto deep pink and then cream card and has also been in my stash for sometime. Finally I added red Liquid Pearl to the heart above the cat and two groups of three cream Liquid Pearl dots to the background.

I used the honeysuckle die from Tattered Lace's Bohemian Garden collection along with the accompanying CD ROM to make this decoupaged flower. The background paper was printed using the same CD ROM. The ovals were cut using Tattered Lace's velvet lace mini ruffle oval dies and the sentiment cut using another one of their dies.

Bluebells
The bluebells are beginning to bloom in my garden which reminded me that I had a Tattered Lace die of these flowers from their Bohemian Garden collection. The background paper and the charisma for the die was printed from the accompaning CD ROM. I attached two of the decoupaged bluebells to card cut using a Tattered Lace pearl square die, added a bow, a gem stone in each of the corners and a sentiment also cut using a Tattered Lace die.

Easter card
This is an Easter card I made using an old Tattered Lace die called ornate cross, layering it twice to give a little depth and a new Carnation Crafts die called gentle light using the accompanying downloaded vingette with this. I then cut a third ornate cross in a beige colour, cut out the central plain cross and attached it to the large one. The sentiment was created by using white peel off letters which I coloured using a permanant marker.

Lilac
This month the Send A Smile For Kids challenge would like you to make a card for mum (from the kids) or anything goes for kids.
I have used the lilac stamp from Joanna Sheen's Garden Flowers collection and coloured it using Promarkers. After matting and layering it onto mauve and white card I added a bow to the lilac stems. The sentiment was also matted onto mauve card and to this I glued a tiny pearl in each of the corners.
