G for 'Girls just wanna have fun'

Hi crafters,
I made this Birthday card and it turned out really pink and girly but I rather like it! ,
I used my favourite stamp and coloured it with my promarkers. I paper pieced their dresses to match the backing papers and added a bit of frantage round the edges. I added some WOC flowers,  some ribbon and lace and a few pearls here and there!
 I made a border with my MS punch and a couple of stick pins finished it off (find it hard to part with these for some reason lol!)
Here is a close up of the image showing the frantage round the sides. I also added glossy accent to the wine glasses!
I'd like to enter my card in this week's Passion for Promarkers challenge which is 'Letters of the alphabet'.
Thanks for looking,
Hugs, Karen xx

Happy Birthday hairdresser!

Hi crafters,
I made this card for my sister in law who, funnily enough,  is a hairdresser! This saturated canary image was perfect for her and I coloured it with my promarkers with a bit of glitter here and there!
I added some WOC flowers,  matching buttons,  a scissor charm and I even tried some liquid pearls for a change!
The border is an MS punch and the butterflies were added to fill a space that I felt just needed something lol! Pearls and ribbon also went on and then I stopped before I found anything else to stick on my card !!
I'd like to enter my card in this week's Passion for Promarkers challenge which is 'Perfect Pearls'.
Thanks for dropping by,
hugs, Karen xx

Especially for ewe!

Hi crafters,
I made this card for a work colleague who is always telling stories about her sheep during our coffee breaks, so I thought this image was perfect for her birthday!
The image is taken from the 'Plush Pals' CD from Ellas Design.  I decoupaged the little lamb, and added lots of glitter around the letters!  I added some jute ribbon and hession flowers I found in Poundland- a bargain! Some wooden hearts also went with the natural theme and the recipient absolutely loved it!

I'd like to enter my card in the Creative Card Crew challenge which is to use glitter and there was plenty on this card!
Thanks for looking,
Hugs, Karen xx

Piano easel card!

Hi crafters,
I've made something a bit different to show you today.  I made this piano card after seeing some similar ones on pinterest and Lisa from my workshop suggested making it into an easel card which was a brilliant idea!
I embossed the flat part with my music notes embossing folder and added ribbon along the bottom of the grand piano.
The flowers are all from WOC and I added some gold swirls and leaves.  I also added a sentiment and made it look like a music book- well that was the idea anyway lol!

It's tricky trying to take a decent photo of an easel card but here's a pic from another angle.
I'd like to enter my card in the Crafts and me challenge which is to add a ribbon.
Thanks for looking and I'll be back soon with another card I made for the same lady.
Hugs,  Karen xx
