 word art wednesday


 So here are my cards:

 

I used some cosmo cicket paper for this one along with a handmade flower. As per usual I hand stitched the topper.

This card is made using some American crafts paper and the zebra was die cut with my machine. I also die cut the flowers and used this cute paper smooches sun. The birthday stamp is by hero arts.

This card I used the sun as the main image, its just too cute not too! The paper is by cosmo cricket and I finished the card with some big buttons.

 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you all have a lovely week and lets hope the sun is here to stay :)

I have made this card for week #174 the shabby tea room where Tracey choose this gorgeous picture to inspire us:


And here is my card:

 

I decided to use this cherry picture by cosmo cricket as I could not decide on what cherries to use, so I thought I would go ahead with them. I also used some prima flowers and finished off with a red button and threaded some twine through.

I used a hero arts die cut for the monster, I've used this image before but I just love it.

I finished the card off with pink ruffled ribbon.  The stamped greeting is also by hero arts.

Hello again:) hope your all having a good week. Thank you for stopping by to see my blog today.

The cupcake card I made today using a cut from my cameo machine, I needed a new blade a finally got one yay! man I have missed this machine!

So this card is for the shabby tea room challenge 170 'sweet as sugar'

I cut my card front to curve for a change and I added the cupcake which I used my promarkers to colour. The flowers I handmade again, and also added pink ribbon along with a few buttons. The topper that the cupcake is on is hand stitched and backed onto a doily die cut.
