The flowers that bloom in the spring

The DCM midweek challenge is for cards with flowers, and not just any old flowers either (Primas or other bought flowers): "the idea of this dare is for you create your flowers yourself."

Here's my card: I used a rose stamp by Elusive Images to create a decoupage, coloured with Twinkling H2Os and highlighted with Glossy Accents and glitter. The background paper is by K&Co and the silver gatefold card blank from BG Payne Crafts.

Friends & Numbers

The Caardvarks challenge blog is asking for cards that celebrate the love of friends. Meanwhile the Scrummy Stash Cafe blog has a challenge to see layouts or cards with numbers. Here are my two attempts.

The Flower Fairies card, for the numbers challenge, was made with a decoupage kit, Papermania letters, the number four and plenty of glitter.

The Friends card was made by cutting an aperture in a card blank and edging it with glitter, then suspending some butterflies behind acetate against candy striped paper by K&Co. The butterfly at the top is from Lakeland and the butterfly at the bottom used an Artefacts stamp and was stamped & embossed. The glittery letters are by Making Memories.
