Butterflies lovely Butterflies

Over on my challenge blog the challenge today is 'Butterflies' and is sponsored by my lovely friend Caroline.  She gave the DT some super images to work with so here is the card I made with mine.
The actual card base is from a Dawn Bibby kit and I thought it went well with the fairy image paper that is added inside the aperture. I printed and cut out the base butterfly from Caroline then made another one from Clearly For Art film for the top layer and heated and moulded it into shape.  I attached it to the card with a dragonfly brad in the centre.
I added another butterfly image from Caroline on the inside together with a message card again from Dawn. Some decoupaged flowers on the front and a couple of gems completed the look.
Do pop over and enter my challenge this week... there are some digi images from Caroline up for grabs. x

Sparkle and Shine

Here is my easel card for my challenge this week - yes a Christmas card.... can you believe we are almost at the end of August? only 4 months to go.
I brayered the background card using Sweet Pea Big and Juicy leaving some white at the top then cut out with my Tim Holtz die and Cuttlebugged with Divine Swirl.  The Eco ARt Board piece I covered in some glitter paints from Suze Weinberg in mauve and silver then stamped the image on the top in black (can't remember who the stamp is from sorry but it is one I use a lot.)  I added a blue strip of glitter card and a cut out snowflake border from Martha Stewart using some blue and whitepaper  and added some silver glitter glue. The sentiment is from Personal Impressions and the swirl from Dawn Bibby. I hope you like.
I will also enter this for Bah Humbug 'Winter Wonderland' and  the Winter Wonderland Christmas challenge this week too.

Feathered Friends

'Feathered Friends' is the topic for this week's CD Sunday challenge.  The idea is to use something from one of your many cds that sit on the shelf waiting to be used. Here is my DT card.  First I ran the brown base card through the Birds and Swirls Cuttlebug embossing folder. I then added a piece of blue swirly paper printed from Michele Marsden's Designa Backgrounds cd from the Triple Treasure collection that has also been Cuttlebugged with the same folder.  The main gorgeous owl image is from Dawn Bibby's Woodland Decoupage collection. I added some extra flowers, gems and the little DCWV chipboard sentiment and a strip of ribbon at the bottom edge of the card. Do give the challenge a go this week and use those cds.

Have a Scrummy Day

Here is a scrummy little card for a friend of the family - his birthday is on 16th.
I stamped the blue cupcakes using a Dawn Bibby stamp and edged the card using my Martha Stewart scoreboard. The topper is from QVC and the smaller cake, sentiment and beans are from Hunkydory.  I am into cupcakes at the moment so entering this for Cute Card Thursday 'Celebrations' and Creative Card Crew 'Celebrate' challenges and also Ooh La La 'Anything Goes challenge. Also found Gingersnaps Creations have 'Celebrate' too so this is for you too.
