pink and simple

this week i have been making cards for my essential baby card swap.

our challenge was to use the quilting technique and to make it pink and girly!

i also went hunting for an online challenge blog to inspire me

 and came across the less is more challenge this week which was perfect!!!

i punched out a 13/8" square out of scrap card and then stuck a variety of pink squares on top. 

then i put it through an embossing folder to give it more texture and sponged it.

after that i added a tiny tag with a tiny flower sequin.

the side of the card was embossed and the flowers coloured with a blender pen.

a very simple card from me

i sooo wanted to add more stuff but kept to the challenge-it was hard not to lol

cheers ears

a girly present idea

another birthday present to present! this time i made a simple gift for a freinds' 12 year old girl. i wanted something simple, girlie and, lets face it, cheap lol

i used a sweet treats cup as the centre of the flower and used my small oval punch for the petals. i daubered the petals and glittered them too inside the sweet treats cup is the gift there is an opening at the back of the card where the gift can be removed see! just pull up a flap from the back and voila! here is the necklace and earrings i made using the small tag punch and the always stamp set i put crystal effects all over them as well as a teeny bit of bling in the form of a diamante i hope she liked her gift-teenagers are quite a tricky gift making group to make for
