Little Glitter Girl

This card was made with some challenges in mind. Pardon the pun but I really find challenges challenge me and I make better cards as a result. The image is a glitterbabes digi which I think is really cute. Glitter, gems, peel offs and dried flowers have been used to embellish.

Fairy Christmas Cards


Here are two Christmas Cards made using free stamps I got with some crafting magazines.
I made this card specifically for the I did it creations challenge. I would never have thought about using beige and blue together but I think they work really well.

Pink Handbag Card

I like the way the backing paper shows through the stamped handbag on this card. It took me ages to get the stamp to print clearly, but I am pleased with the finished result and glad I persevered!
