Something Special

I made this card for the daughter of Mum's cousin, who's 21st birthday party my parents are going to in a few weeks time. I've never meet Lauren, but Mum and Dad have met her once before a few years ago. She has very severe Down's Symdrome. I wanted to make a special card with texture (hence the feathers) and sparkle (lots of bling and glitter), that she might be able to enjoy. Her father said one of the only things she is interested in is 'fashion'. Mum and I weren't quite sure what this meant, but I hope the sweet Tilda image, floral papers and ribbon fit the bill.

I will enter the card into this weeks DCD challenge (Tilda in Pink) and I love Promarkers Challenge (wings- Tilda has wings in this image). The flowers are made using the instructions from last weeks tutorial on DCD by Karen and they have been distressed with silver ink (which came off on my fingers when I was curling them!). The papers are new ones I got on Sunday, from the Papermania Capsule Collection and I have added glitter to them for added detail.

PS I was really pleased to come in the top 4 last week on DCD!!!!!!

I love Promarkers 10th Feb

Yesterday the new format for the challenges started on I love Promarkers and I was really looking forward to this! This time the challenge was to follow the sketch and to use the colours pink and brown. This is my entry, made with a stamped image I recieved from a friend on Craftbubble.

Pixie Dust Studio Challenge 7

This is my entry for this weeks challenge, which is to use a decorative border. I have used punched flowers with glitter centres as a border for the main image.

Pollycraft Monday 33- Things with wings!

This is my entry for this weeks Pollycraft challenge. The stamped image is the first Magnolia image that I have used (sent to me by a friend on Craft Bubble- thankyou!). I was experimenting with my new promarker colours and went a bit bright, so I decided to add bright papers to the background too.
