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

Anyway, enjoy the sun.

I've used Stampin' Up! products for this card,

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.
