Peacock

I love this peacock image from Doodle Pantry. After colouring it with Pro Markers I decided that it was missing a little something so I added some gold stickles glitter to his tail. I then paired the image with some teal card stock from my stash and a beautiful blue/green glittery ribbon.

Sunset Geisha

Baby Olivia

A card I am very happy with for baby Olivia! I love Riley and Company images and got a set imported, this stamp was a must as all my friends are having babies. I cut the image out using my Sizzix fancy labels dies and matted it on corresponding card. I found some lovely papers in my stash which worked well together. I used oriental letters as baby Olivia is part Chinese.

Crazy Cat 30th

A joke between my best friend and I is that she is a crazy cat lady so I just had to make her card cat related. She only actually has two cats so I squeezed as many in as I could. A great feature of the pets in a mess CD is that you can recolour things so I recoloured the sofa to match hers and the lady's hair to match my friends. I then recoloured her clothes to match the card and added a picture of a dog which I recoloured to match her chocolate lab.

I finished the card off by adding lots of layers with 3D foam, some glitter and gemstones.

A little bit of sparkle

I love how this card has worked out! I've had a set of Craftwork Card flowers for ages but just couldn't see how to give them dimension and create beautiful flowers like I see on other peoples cards. Also I'm not a very floral person but I decided to have a go with a little help from Google. After watching a very short video by the Craftwork Cards team it all became clear and I'm loving the result. I may even add some flowers to more future projects :)

This card is for a horse lover and after I coloured the beautiful digi from Silvia at Wee stamps I thought I'd add some extra bling. I used three different Hunkydory glitters- parma violet for the hair, blush pink for the flowers and angel whispers for the lines.
