Pink Elephant challenge week 9

I've been a bad blogger and have not kept up with the challenges in the last week or so, not sure why really, but hope to make up for it this week. The Pink Elephant challenge this week is to use stamps, embossing and punches. The card I have entered for this weeks challenge is a lovely Magnolia image ( I know some people (not dronpping any names but Carol...lol) are not too keen on these images as they have no mouth or nose, but I think they are gorgeous). I coloured the image with my lovely Polychromos and sansador. The papers are Pink Petticoat 'Sweet Sundaes' downloads. The flowers are stamped from Clare Curds Doodles stamps, McGill fern punch, Cirles cut with nestabilities and embossing on Cuttlebug with Fiskars embossing plates.

I really enjoyed making this card, hope you like it to.

Quick easter cards

Hi, I needed to make some quick Easter cards and I've cheated a little bit, in the fact that they are not stamped. The images were from PC Crafter and I think they are so cute, I just added some embellishments from stash and some glittered flowers cut on my cricut.

Hopefully be back later with a challenge. Have a lovely Wednesday.
