2 Cards.....

Hello.......so nice of you to visit:)

Today I have two DT projects to show you.
The first one is for 'The Shabby Tea Room'
Pretty in Pink......create a card/project inspired by the photo! Love this gorgeous photo, sometimes I like to try and re-created it!


Here is what I came up with..........Love the Bokeh backgrounds you see around at the moment. I had lots of fun using water colour paper and paints to create the background. I cut myself a variety of circle stencils then stamped with white ink......I'm really happy with how it turned out.
I cut the bike out from Heritage cricut cartridge, ran it through the xyron to create a sticker then added lots of sparkle.


My daughter thought she would like this card framed.


I'd like to link up with "House of Cards" May challenge...Bokeh effect

I look forward to seeing your pretty projects in The Shabby Tea Room
.....................................................

My next card is for 'Stuck on U Sketches' Die cuts.
The challenge is 'Mothers'......I created a card for Mothers Day.
The oval frame and overlay were both cut using cricut ArtBooking cartridge. "LOVE" is a stamp from 'Paper Sweeties'


 Lots of my fav things....buttons, pearls, flowers, ribbon...the scallop ribbon border is a gorgeous velvet.

I also played along with this months challenge from 'Sketchy Boards'. I chose to base my card on the colours in the gorgeous photo...Yellow and Green. I hope to find some time to do a layout with this great sketch.


Kind of a long post for me........happy Monday to you, enjoy your week!
