Good morning everybody, and what a gorgeous sunny day it is too for you sun worshippers.

The card I have to show you today is for the challenge over at

Glitter n Sparkle.

I have used a combination of paper and Linen Look card stock for this cardI created three random panels which were mounted on co-ordinating card and edged with a silver border.

The focus of the card is on the sentiment which reads-

BABY "SWEET LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY"

which has been coloured with promarkers.

Finally I have made a variety of die-cut and punched flowers, with the addition of pearls and gems for the centres.

The foliage is from Spellbinders and to complete the look I have added a pink bow with the addition of a gorgeous rosebud.

TWEET TWEET LITTLE BIRDIE..

Good morning to you all, and I hope that you are having a fabulous weekend.

My card I would like to share with you today is for the challenge ovr at

A Day for Daisies.

It is for Challenge #99 and is MONOCHROME.

The background is a large spotted paper, edged with a silver decorative border to highlight and add definition too.

I then made a border using the same paper, punched down both edges with the Martha Stewart BUBBLEBATH punch. This was then mounted on a deep green card.

I used the image provided as the Freebie, coloured it with Promarkers and then double mounted on co-ordinating card, edged with the silver border, and added green gemstones for added texture. This was positioned off the edge of the card.

Finally, I created the flowers using a patterned green paper, and the D-Lites BLOOMS TWO plus the small DAISY punch with the addition of pearls for the centres. For the leaves I used the Spellbinders FOLIAGE die and the BUTTERFLY was made by layering two colours of the D-Lites FLUTTERS dies.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of your day.
