Glitter

This is the card I made for Niki's {Glittermum on MSE} birthday.
The paper is Pink Petticoat pistachio (sp?) dots layered onto green dotty bazill which I also used for the scalloped circle. The image is also Pink Petticoat coloured on the pc. The butterflies punched with my MS punch looked too plain so I added gold peel offs to brighten them. I used a craftwork sentiment & tried to make it look as if the butterflies were carrying it like a banner. I had the ribbon in my stash and added a couple of flowers punched from gold mirri - card. 



And I've just remembered another card, I haven't blogged it before I think it was Alison's birthday{Ali B123} so thought I'd share it now. 
It's a to a sketch I like so there may be more.....
The backing paper is the negative of the one I used on the card above with the corners punched, and the two matching patterned papers came to me in a stash swap. The bear is another of my favourites layered on silver mirri card. The dots and swirl are peel offs and where would I be without my craftwork card sentiments? The bow was a pre made one from an MSE prize sent to me by Toni {OAP}. Thank you!

Thanks for looking..........

  3. Two gorgeous cards, I love them both. I love the green colour of the second card, I might have to start using green, my cards tend to lean towards pink or purple all the time!
