Sympathy


White base card with sentiment printed from PC. I have used an embossing folder and touched up the petals with a buttercup promarker. I have layered this onto a pale yellow card to make it stand out. I am entering this into the Less is More Challenge for this week which is Pastel Colours.
I have taken on board all the comments and added some pearls to the flower centre.
Thanks Mandi & Chrissie for all your advice - I think it looks better now.


Lilac Birthday

Lilac base card cut with Martha Stewart Optic Dot Edger Punch. I have added the backing paper from Papermania Amethyst Infusion pack. The corners are a Cuttlebug Die and the flourishes area Quikcutz die. The image is a freebie from Meljens Designs and I have coloured it with Promarkers. I cut him out with my circle nesties and then layered it onto a doilly and then another circle nestie. The ribbon, flowers, brads and bow are from my stash. The sentiment is recycled from another card - long ago from my 50th - LOL!!!

3 Squares

White base card with cream and brown pearlescent squares. I cut the hearts out with a woodware punch and added a peel-off sentiment and a silver heart shaped brad. I thought it looked okay and then remembered I had this brown ribbon with hearts on it in my stash to just added that too. -I hope it is not too much for the Less is More challenge which you can enter here.
Thanks for all your comments and I do agree with you about the brad. I wish I had never put it on now. LOL!!!
I just want to say 'Thanks' to all you gave me constructive critisism on my card - I do appreciate it and gives me inspiration to think more. Thanks everyone.

Friendship

White base card with image from a set of doggy ones I have - not sure who makes them as there is nothing to say who does on the packet. I cut the layers with my nesties and moved the plain one slightly to try and make a double line round it. I have coloured the image with Promarkers. The image is printed directly onto the card from the PC. I have added some card candy from my stash.

Lilac base card with a square doilly topped with pink pearlescent card. I have printed the sentiment directly onto the pink card from PC.

I added some diamond gems to the centre of the flower and the opposite corners of the pink layer. The border I punched with a Martha Stewart punch. The black scalloped oval was donated.
