I used a Crafts Too embossing folder for the background of this card, adding a PVA pearl drop into the center of each cross. I used one of the free stamps from Creative Stamping magazine for the main topper. I stamped the dress out twice and decoupaged the bottom half to give it a bit more movement. I added some Stickles glitter over the whole of the dress. Finally I added a sentiment and a couple of flowers to finish off the card.

Diamond Wedding Anniversary
My Nan and Grandad asked me to make up some booklets to celebrate their Diamond Wedding Anniversary. This was the sample one, which has been given their seal of approval so now I've got about another 40 to make - that's me kept busy for the summer!
I used Centura Pearl Hint of Silver card for the base and printed the writing directly onto the card. I've removed their surname and the Church name which is why the spacing looks a bit off in the photo. I added a photo of them from their wedding day into the centre - how beautiful is that photo? and finally just added a piece of white ribbon and a bow down the side.

Emma on Swing
I used patterned papers from LOTV 'Perfect Pairs' paper pad to make the background for this card. I used LOTV stamp 'Emma on Swing' for the main image which I coloured in using Spectrum Noir pencils. I added some leaves which are die cut from Sheena Douglass 'Wild Rose' die and stamp set along with some flowers made from Dreamees stamps.

Little Flower
I used a couple of patterned papers from LOTV 'Perfect Pairs' paper pad for the background of this card. The stamped image is also from LOTV which is coloured using Spectrum Noir pencils. I added a couple of die cuts from Tattered Lace dies - the swirl border and heart buttons - to decorate the rest of the card. Finished off by adding some rose buds into the corner.

Merry Christmas
I used the lovely Graphic 45 'T'was the night before Christmas' paper pad for this card. I used one of the patterned papers for the background and cut the Santa image out of another piece to layer on top. The border and sentiment came from the reverse side of the same piece piece of paper. I added some flowers which were made using Sue Wilson's Poinsettia stamps, I coloured them using Barn Door Distress Ink and added a PVA pearl into the center of each flower.

I built up the background of this card using a selection of decorative papers from LOTV 'Country Gent' paper collection. I used the cricket stamp also from LOTV which I coloured in using Spectrum Noir pencils.

Vintage Santa
My first Christmas card of the year :p I started with a piece of red paper and matted a panel from an old book page onto the top to make the background.
I used Stampendous 'Jumbo Santa' stamp for the main image. I coloured Santa using Promarkers and added some Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the top to give it a vintage kind of look.
I wrapped some string around the card and added a tag sentiment onto the bow. Finally I used Sue Wilson's Poinsettia stamps to make the flower which is coloured using Barn Door Distress Ink.
