Brrrrrr ... we've had every weather going today, rain, sun, drizzle, thunder, sleet, snow and a wind that would cut the face off you! Did I think Spring was on it's way a few weeks ago? LOLMy cards this evening are a bit of a take 2 of yesterdays! A friend in work saw my giraffe baby card and wanted one for her daughter who loves giraffes, and then I had to make another thank you card for a wee gardening group.
Card 1 - Giraffe stamp from Whipper Snapper - coloured with watercolour pencils. Background giraffe print stencil coloured with pink chalks. Sentiment/alpha set from Paper Smooches. Taylored Expressions sequins.
- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Happy Birthday
- My Time to Craft #318 - girlie
- Pile it on #105 - animal prints
- ABC challenge - E is for Everything
- Sparkles challenge #78 - make it girlie
Card 2 uses my Penny Black stamp again - coloured with watercolour pencils and clear gloss/glitter added to the snail's shell.
- Layout from Mojo Monday #442
- The Sketchy Challenge #96 - I used the flowers and things with wings option
- Inspiration Destination #80 - anything goes
I can see the stencilling more clearly on this card, what a great idea to use it behind the image. Cara x
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are adorable. That sweet giraffe looks good in pink, too! Your weather sounds like ours - we've had rain, snow, cold wind, warm sunshine, etc. Sure wish Spring would come to stay instead of slipping in and out.
