MTTC - Kids Kardz

Late posting my DT card for the My Time to Craft Challenge as we have been having problems with the internet for the past two days, but here it is at last. The stamp is by Creative Stamping and I have had this for years, coloured it with Copics, papers are by K & Co and from my stash. I added a ribbon, a shell charm, number and computer generated sentiment. I am also entering this for the challenge at Delightful Sketches which is Kids.

MTTC - Just For Mum


My DT card today for the challenge at My Time to Craft which this week is "Just for Mum" with Mother's Day coming up to make a card for Mum. I have used another one of the gorgeous Hanglar and Stanglar images sent by my lovely blogging friend in the USA, I have coloured her with Copics. I have pricked a border round the image and added small fake stitches. The papers are by Paper Adventures and Basic Grey, I used my Martha Stewart Arch Lattice border punch to create a frame around the bottom of the card. The flowers are from my stash with punched branches and layered on a piece of hessian with a bow. I added a butterfly charm and printed Mum on the computer with a lovely font I found that has hearts on. As my lovely Mum is now longer with us this card will be for my Mother in Law. I am also entering this card for the following challenges:
