Black & White

Over at less is more this week there is a sketch challenge and this is what I have come up with.  I cut an A4 card to make a square card and then added the embossed square with a scalloped centre to which I have added a black card.  The flowers are from £1 land with a brad from my stash.  The happy birthday sentiment was donated to me.

Baby Girl

White base card with buttons and ribbons from my stash.  I have used a Provocraft embossing border folder and edged it with my houghie board.  The image is from DigiStamp Boutique 'Simply Baby Collection' and I have coloured it with a Pale Pink Promarker.  I have used nesties to layer the image.  I have no sentiment on this yet as the little girl has not been born yet but is due any day.

Charming

Over at 'Less is More' this week the theme is to use a charm.  I am not very good with these but have a few in my collection so decided to give this a go.  The wreath is a Provocraft Cut and Emboss Die and i have inked it with Memento 'London Fog'.  I have used a Poppy Promarker for the berries.  The twine is from Tiger Store and the peel off and charm are from my stash.
