Funky shaped Birthday card (Magnolia image)

Hi everyone,

Wow, it's been a long time since I used a Magnolia stamp, not sure if it's just because I always go for my digi stamps now so I forget as I adore these little Magnolia images and this one is my favourite. 

I have had this Webster's Pages shaped background paper for the longest time so I decided to cut my card to fit the shape, it was pretty easy to do and it opens on the side. I have used a gorgeous burnt orange flower and rhinestones from Flourish with a Bling.

Spring Garden card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi everyone,

If you're one of my followers you would have seen that I have just made a Tent Topper card for my guest DT spot at Tuesday Throwdown. Before that challenge I had no idea they existed but now I am totally in love with tent toppers and have made another already haha!! I did a bit of paper piecing here as the gingham paper inspired me. You may also notice I have been using the little white and pink resin flowers a lot, I just can't get enough of them as they are so perfectly sized for cards. Did you see I put 3 little tiny ones in her basket hehe?

The beautiful image is from The Paper Shelter, isn't she so sweet? This the first time I've created with her. The pearls are by Flourish with a Bling.
