Stencil card

 I was at the NEC and looking round as you do and saw a demo using some embossing glue ant templates. I liked the effects so some managed to fall into my basket!
This card has been made with template and glue then glitter onto the fairy. It looks much better in real life really sparkly, I just need to find a way of sticking the black card onto the sparkly card as it keeps coming off!

Animal Card

 I made this card for an MSE'r for her Birthday, I found the image quite hard to ink up but after a lot of going over it did stamp up beautifully the first time I tried. I have coloured it with Pro markers and added a bow made with my bow easy, although I find it not easy as I am rubbish at tying bows lol.  I have added glossy accents to the rain drops and the puddle

Mothers day card

 This is the Mothers day card I have made. I have seen a few blogs recently were people have stamped an image onto patterned paper and I liked the effect so thought I would give it a go. I quite like how the card has turned out, although it has taken me ages to choose the DP.
I have faux stitched the inside of the inside of the card with a template from a magazine (but I forget which one it was) although it was mostly done free hand as I couldn't see the tracing on the paper

Smudged card

 I haven't played with my Lavinia stamps for a while so thought I would create a card for my Niece's birthday. I have inked the card with distress inks then added the stamps and lots of sparkle, I then had the bright idea to spray with shimmer mist and ended up smudging the circle where the fairies are. Sort of rescued it by adding more inks but I won't be making the same mistake again
I have also decorated the inside of the card

 This is the card I made for my Niece's birthday, I have used my new butterfly die's and added some flowers around the edge, although they match the papers better in real life than the photo shows
