A Birthday card

Good morning all. A lovely sunny morning here.... hope it stays that way..... had NO rain yesterday....
I have a number of birthday card to make for family and friends this month.... so here is one of them......not telling who it is for.
I am also entering this one into 2 challenges, both digital and both requiring buttons.
Digital Challenges - anything goes
Digistamps4joy - Buttons

Here is what I did:

Paper - white cardstock, matted DP printed from Funky Hand CD, Bazzil cut with a Nellie Snellen die.

Image - Freebie from Digistamps4joy, printed onto watercolour paper and coloured with distress inkpads

Embellishments. Ribbon from stash, also buttons and flowers. For the sentiment I printed happy birthday and cut out a button with Crealies die. covered it with glossy accents to add to the buttons. Finished off with lots of bling round the frame, as this young lady loves BLING.

Inside - repeated the paper, ribbon and bling, added a Nestie cutout for the message.

I hope she will love it, let me know what you think.
Have a super day, keep warm if it is cold and snowy where you are.

The second is Karen's Doodles NL with a sketch.

Sentiment is from Daisy Bucket designs which I got from a blogging friend.
I finished it off with some ribbon and pearls for the flower centres.
Have a great weekand hope to be back soon

Card for CANSA

Happy Friday morning to everyone. We have had a rather cold couple of days, but it should start warming up for the weekend. When I look around the garden I see lots of small green shoots everywhere, so YEAH spring is just around the corner.

My card today is one I made for a call from a fellow RSA group member for cards for a CANSA Relay for Life. Each survivor will receive a goodie bag and a card.
Paper: White card, matted a Funky Hand DP. Printed from the"Dreams come true" CD
Image: Penny black, stamped onto watercolour paper coloured with distress inkpads and watercolour pencils. Cut with a Nestability and mounted on another.
Sentiment: Cut with a cuttlebug die and a pink ribbon and pearl to finish off.

Having a rather busy time at the moment and just not getting to any challenges. Hope to do some this weekend.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

The Corrosive challenge

It's the first time I have entered this challenge and only just made it on time. I followed a sketch.

Cardstock white, matted "light groovy grape" cardstock and then matted DP printed from Funky Hand CD.

The image was one I received in a RAK last year, so unfortunately don't know what make stamp it is. Coloured with water colour pencils and Twinkling H2o's For the flower centre I glued on some seed beads. Swiped the edges with a turq. chalk pad. Matted this onto a square scolloped nestability.

I layered this over a strip of the groovy grape cardstock, that I punched using a corner punch, just removed the side strips, I found it a challenge to line it up for a good edge.

Finished off with a sentiment cut out with my cuttlebug. Sorry it does not show up too well on the photo and added three beads.

Hope you like it. I need to make a number of birthday cards this month, so really need to get some challenges done on time.

We are at last having aa lovely warm sunshiny day after all the rain and cloud the past 10 days. Our business is in the ceramic field making bisqueware and the wet weather has us (especially hubby, as he is the manufacturing dept) tearing our hair out as things don't dry. But today he is smiling. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Here's is how I did it.

All the DP is from Funky Hand's latest CD "Dreams come true. http://www.funkyhand.com/index.php I love how you can print the matching papers yourself.

Cream card onto which I matted DP from Funky Hand. Cut a strip of the striped paper and used my border punch. Matted the image onto another one of the papers cut with my Nestability.

The image is a digital download from Mo's called end of summer, printed onto watercolour paper and cut with a nestability, but I think it can also be beginning of spring (not autumn as we are starting here) Coloured this with my watercolour pencils and twinkling h2o's.

Sentiment is from Whiff of Joy

Flowers are all from my stash.

I enjoyed making this one, hope you like. Please let me know.
