Some cards to share....

Hi.......I thought I'd share a couple of cards I was asked to make by a friend :)

The brief was to keep them clean & simple......I had some hints, the lady liked shoes and bling and the anniversary card was for the same lady and her husband so I added some bling to that too :)

The '50th' birthday card....

Lots of embossing......cardstock, ink and sentiment by Stampin Up :)

Silver Wedding Anniversary card.....

Again lots of embossing........computer generated sentiment and bling :)

I am entering the anniversary card into - 

Simon Says Stamps Bingo Challenge ~ ribbon, gems and punches

Fab n Funky Challenge #133  ~ Use pearls or rhinestones......both cards apply :)

I Love Promarkers #129 ~ Vintage...

Morning! This week over at 'I Love Promarkers' the challenge is....

'Vintage'...

I dont really have any vintage images but my crafting buddy Heidi had stamped me a couple of this beautiful Wellington stamp and I thought the wingback chair had a vintage feel, perfect for the challenge and fun to colour! Love the teddy too :)

I have coloured the image with my promarkers.......using berry red, ruby, crimson and burgundy for the chair. The papers are Papermania.

I have distressed the paper edges for a vintage look too and finished with the pearls and fancy corner from Whimsy.

I am entering my card into the following challenges ~

Penny Black Saturday August Challenge....

Morning! Time for a new challenge over at Penny Black Saturday....

August's challenge is 'Double the Trouble'....

use 2 image stamps on your project.

I have used 2 adorable stamps from the Betsy Bluebell transparent set, I masked Betsy with presents so I could get the other image to stand behind.

The images are coloured with promarkers and prismas and the papers are Papermania......I also used a Whimsy corner die and some pearls :)

As promised I also have a winner of the 'Make a Wish' stamps, my candy for last month's blog hop :) 

The winner randomly picked by my son is No.10.......he's 10 so he picked his age!! So looking down my comments the lucky winner is 'Mrs F', congratulations :) {Prize claimed}
