Marilyn Monroe

I found this stunning image of Marilyn Monroe and thought the sentiment matched perfectly! I absolutely love Jade's artwork! I cut out the sentiment using Spellbinders labels thirty three and distressed the edges using Tim Holtz Worn Lipstick ink.

Kittie Cats

My Messy Pets CD-ROM from Create & Craft finally arrived and I've had great fun playing with it. It's so easy to build any picture you want and even recolour the images. I've recoloured the ladies hair so it looks like Sue. Of course Sue loves cats so I added the extra images. I love the ease of creating decoupage images and as you can see from the pictures below I had some fun adding extra layers (fiddly to cut out but look great!). I distressed the edges of the card blank with worn lipstick then finished the card with Candi and a paper bow.

Only Fools & Horses

My dad is a fan of Only Fools and Horses so I went with this theme for his 60th card and cake. My husband is the master cake decorator and I'm the baker, shaper and ideas lady! I couldn't find a digi stamp anywhere so resorted to finding a ready made topper from Ebay. Either way he loved it and the cake went down a treat!

Steampunk

I've seen a few steampunk inspired cards so I thought I'd have a go as I liked this image from Kenny K. This fab sentiment from Ginger works perfectly with it. I chose a vintage style paper from my K &  Company stash and embossed the gears stamp from my Kanban steampunk set on top using Martha Stuart glittered embossing powder.
