Anything with flowers.......

The through the purple haze second challenge was anything with flowers,  so I have used some images from my house mouse decoupage sheets and a sheet printed from a one of my Joanna sheen cd's.

For this one I used a lilac card and matted purple mirri board on to it.
I then cut out  the decoupage sheet and matted  on to a sheet of green gingham paper.
To finish I used coloured some silver leaves with a green pro-marker, then added two paper white flowers and added two small purple buttons in the middle of the flowers.
A sentiment was then added to the top left hand corner


Like the above card I started with a lilac card blank.  I then printed out the decoupage sheet and a backing sheet from a Joanna sheen cd.
I wrapped a piece of piece of lilac organza ribbon, and a small piece of lilac ribbon around the backing paper and attached to the front of the card.  
I then made up the decoupage and stuck to left hand side of the card.
and then finished off with a vertical happy birthday peel off

First challenge cards ... Indigo Blu

Here are cards the first challenge cards I have ever made:
 
 
I had 3 stamps to use a bird , leaves and a sentiment
 
For the first one i took a piece of Kraft card
stamped the leaves randomly (in black) on the front
I then stamped two on a piece of green patterned paper and cut them out. 
Two mats where then cut (using a spellbinders die)
the bigger one in brown and the smaller in white. 
The sentiment was stamped on to the white one
and ink around the edges using distress ink
A strip of ribbon was put done the middle,
en the sentiment added, and finally the leaves.
   

The second card is a a5 whte card,
I coloured with the same distress ink
The leaves were done the same way as the card above,
 as too were the mats, but this time i added a gold layer
and stamped the bird in the middle
