Great tit
The fucshias are coming into bud now and the little birds have been flying around pecking off insects and this card reminds me of that. I matted and layered the background paper taken from Paper and Wood's background and topper pack onto black, pale grey, a second layer of black and finally white card. The decoupaged great tit was cut using one of their accompanying dies and charisma pads.

Bon voyage
I began this card by matting pale blue paper and paper printed using My Craft Studio's Everyday CD ROM onto a card blank. I coloured the digi image from Elena Zinski Art called Amelia Mermaid using Promarkers, fussy cut it and attached it to the card. On top of this I attached cream card from which I had cut a circular hole. I attached acetate from some old packaging behind a cream ring and fixed it to frame the circle using foam pads and then added card candy to this rim to make a 'porthole'. Finally I added gold peel off lettering to form the sentiment.

Butterflies

I have used Brush Markers to colour a design from Hunkydory's Watercolour colouring pad and made an S-shaped card. I cut the design down so that some of the butterflies were over the edge and dusted the edges using Distress Ink before matting it onto deep pink butterfly designed mirri.

Christmas eve

This card uses their digi called Christmas eve kitty which I have coloured using Promarkers. The papers are from a Kaisercraft Christmas paper pad and the sentiment was cut using a Tattered Lace die.

Scraps
I have acquired quite a lot of offcuts from making decoupage designs on cards so I have dedcided that it is about time that I made use of them.
This card uses pieces left over from diecuts using Tattered Lace's country garden design. The original charisma was printed using the accompanying CD ROM and the strip across the centre of the card (which was also in my scrap pile) was printed using the same CD ROM. The sentiment was cut using another Tattered Lace die and I painted over the letters using Stickles.

The lacy die cut used behind the sentiment was cut using the same die set - interlinked illusion squares from Tattered Lace. The letterd for the sentiment were also cut using Tattered Lace dies.
