Another 18th Card

I thought I would try to edge away from my usual pinks, greens and browns. These colours are way out of my comfort zone, but I quite like the finished effect. The image is another one of the Holly and Madison range from Charmed Cards & Crafts, I love their fantastic downloads and they have a great range of stamps too, although I haven't tried any of those (yet!). The background paper is from my stash, haven't a clue what make it is, the heart is a Nesite cut on the Cuttlebug, the clear plastic flower is also from my stash and the leaf branch is Leone Em Ash punch. I love decorating the insides of cards now as well as the front, its much more exciting than a boring old plain paper insert!

April is a busy month for birthdays in our family so the last few weeks I have been busy crafting plus keping up with Don's various hospital appointments, sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going. The time goes so fast, can't believe we are almost into May already!

I have a few more cards to post here on my blog so keep checking back and thanks for looking.

18th Birthday Card

This card I have made for my granddaughter Jessica's 18th birthday which is today. The image is from Charmed Cards & Crafts - Holly & Madison. I have coloured the image using Prismas and Sansador. I made the flower using my Nesties Scalloped Circles, sentiment done on PC. The hearts inside were made using my Nesties Hearts.

Girls About Town

Made this card using the fabulous 'Girls about Town' download from Charmed Cards & Crafts. The card is for my granddaughter Kimberley who is a shoeaholic! So when I saw this I couldn't resist it! Have a look at the fantastic downloads at Charmed Cards and Crafts, they are really reasonably priced and there is loads of inspiration on there and take a peek at Karen's blog: http://charmedcrafts.blogspot.com/
