Birthday card for a girl

Well hello and happy new year to you all!

So, this is the first card I've made this year. I hope it's one of many!!

For this card I have used an image by Pink Gem called Faye on a Toadstool. I've decorated the card with papers from Dovecraft (Back to basics III) and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. 

 This is a close up of the image and flowers.

Because of the flowers, I had to make a box to post the card in.

I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Through the craftroom door - anything goes

Cards galore - anything goes

Papertake weekly - anything goes

My mums craft shop - anything goes

Crafty creations - anything goes

Inky impressions - anything goes

Hope you like it. Speak soon!

Step card

Good afternoon everyone. There was me complaining about the weather the other day and now it's beautiful out again. Maybe there IS hope for our camping trip after all!

Today I'm showing you a step card. 

Funky huh?

I used a stamp that I haven'y used for a long time and it's by Sugarplums and is called Sunshine Emma.She is coloured with promarkers. I've die-cut the leafy swirls on each side and used a punch to create the border at the bottom. I've added a few flowers and put a ribbon around the button, sticking a button in the middle. 

Oh to be at the beach!!!!

I'm entering this card into 8 challenges

The Pink Elephant - Ribbon galore
Totally Stampalicious - How do you like to spend your summer?
Passion for promarkers - at the beach
Papertake Weekly - anything goes
Inky Impressions - Tie it up
Simon Says Stamp - bingo choice (mine was ribbon, die-cut and buttons)
Little Miss Muffet - Scallops (bottom of the card and both long edges of the green punched border)
Paperplay challenge - shaped card

Oof - that's a lot of challenges this time!!

Anyway, enjoy the sun.

Red, white and blue

Hi!

Well I had to jump in with everyone else making red, white and blue cards. There is such a buzz at the moment!

I used a Penny Black stamp called Sweet Thing and I coloured her with promarkers. The papers were free  in a magazine and the hello stamp and embossed butterflies are from Stampin' Up!

This card is going to be entered into a couple of challenges. They are:

Passion for Promarkers - the theme was a sketch
The Pink Elephant - there was a photo for inspiration
Papertake Weekly - the theme was Anything Goes
Ribbon Carousel - the theme was Independence Day; red, white and blue

I hope you like it.

Happy birthday and a challenge

Good morning!

We have been very lucky here in Essex. The weather has been absolutely glorius. You wouldn't think that only 4 hours up the motorway, there has been torrential rain and flooding. I hope everybody up north is safe and well.

On to today's card. I haven;t been able to do any cardmaking for the last couple of days and it has been soooo frustrating! But I was finally able to get a couple done yesterday and I'm hoping that Sunday is going to be a great making day!

So here is todays card for you.

I've decided to enter this card into a couple of challenges,

Papertake Weekly had a sketch challenge

and

Charisma Cardz had a theme of 'anything goes'

I hope you like the card
