Polkadoodles Butterfly Flowerpots

Hello everyone! It's time for my Polkadoodles Digi Choosday design team card and here's what I made:




When I make cards for my mum she very often frames them so that gave me the idea for today's card. I decided to frame the beautiful Butterfly Flowerpots image using a wood effect paper from the Udderly Cute love digital papers and attached a piece of Acetate to represent the glass of the picture frame. The sentiment is from the Spring flower Mother's Day Friends Greetings set, and I finished off my card with some gems and a tiny sprinkling of glitter.

Challenges:
as you like it challenge -favourite-style-simple-or-fussy-why? - this is an easy one for me, definitely fussy because I can not make CAS cards. In fact I very often have to sit on my hands because I want to throw everything but the kitchen sink at my cards!!

Polkadoodles - Gil Bunny Rabbit Growing Sunflowers

Hello there and happy Wednesday!
It's time for my design team card over at POLKADOODLES  DIGI CHOOSDAY CHALLENGE







For today's card I created a little scene using Polkadoodles - gil-bunny-rabbit-growing-sunflowers-precoloured-digi-stamp which I cut out using my scan and cut machine. Along with some sunflowers from Autumn-fall-bundle-of-colour-clipart-printables and added some glitter to the centres. The cloud background paper is from Pretty-spring-papers and the gingham paper is from Perfect-Peony , which I used to die cut a grass border. My greeting is from Christmas-everyday-sentiment. To finish off my card I used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges and added Glossy Accents to the watering can and brads in the corners.

Thanks for visiting and good luck if you enter the challenge at Digi Choosday!


Challenges:
as you like it challenge -favourite-embellishment-and-why? - this is a tough one for me as I like to throw everything but the kitchen sink at my cards (and very often have to sit on my hands or walk away from my card!!) But if I had to chose I think it would be brads or gems to finish off the corners of my card - they also disguise my wonky stitching!!!

Hi there!
I have made a House Mouse card today:




I have been saving my pennies for a long time and have bought a scan and cut machine - OMG - it is AMAZING!!!

I now want to cut everything in sight so there will be lots of decoupage cards to follow!!

Items used:
House Mouse decoupage cd rom
Old SU paper and card
corner punch
SU brads
