Birthday card

For this birthday card I decided to mix and match my

Stampin' Up! with Mo's Digital Pencil image and a Sheena

embossing board!

I embossed the main card front using the embossing board

then using a strip of leftover gingham paper for the centre,

I added some strips of pink card.

I then stamped and white embossed the flowers from a set called

Darling Details, onto some of the pink card and die cut them out.

I then did the same for the leaves onto green card and cut them out.

The digi stamp was printed, coloured with markers and cut to fit

to one side of my card and I finished with sentiment

and name top and bottom and some gems.

I don't know how it happened but I have only had time

This is a quick little basket made using the envelope punch board

which is a very neglected item in my stash!

I packed a right few mini eggs in there lol.

Rabbit or hare

It's the second week of my theme

bunny or hare

over at

TAG TUESDAY.

I had a piece of card lying on my desk with that lovely

cut curve at the end so I decided to use it for my tag.

I punched two holes down the length then ran it through

with an embossing folder for some texture.

I raised it up and stuck to the lovely gingham paper.

The bunnies, carrot and butterfly were stamped, coloured

and cut then tucked in to each of the circles.

I finished with a chopped sentiment and a bit of ribbon.

I hope you get time to join in the challenge.
