Deadly Dinosaur

Ok so the title of this is a little fib, this little dino and his friends are just too cute for words.
On a visit to a fun little discount craft shop a few months ago I purchased an EK Success punch of a row of little dinosaurs for the very inexpensive price of £2.50!!!! I had no idea what I was going to do with it I just knew I needed it (especially at that price)

The main image on this card is actually a digi from Opal Manor and I have been looking for an excuse to use him

My friends little boy has a birthday next month and he loves dinosaurs so I finally had a use for both the digi and the punch. So I coloured the digi using Promarkers and cut the row of dinosaurs out in craft card.

Blooming Beautiful Bicycle

At our annual trip to Stitches at the NEC in February we found a new company called Anna Marie Designs, they have some fantastic products so we decided to get a selection of goodies. This image is from their stamp range it's called Blooming Bicycle. Firstly I stamped the image onto white card using Memento ink and coloured the flowers using the following Spectrum Noir pens:

HB1, HB2, HB3
PL1, PL2, PL3

I added a few pink gems to the flowers on the bicycle just to give it a bit of bling.

Next I used the English Ivy Edger punch from EK Success to create a fancy border along the top and bottom of my white card.
I layered the image onto a piece of pink spotty card, also from Anna Marie Designs.

The text stamp at the side of my card is actually really clever, it is also from Anna Marie Designs (are yiou noticing a theme here?), the text stamp has gaps so you can use any of the other stamps to personalise the card. This happy birthday one has To My Mum, To My Sister as well as loads of others. So I stamped just enough to fit in the space I had, then used the Mum from To My Mum to create my greeting. I layered my greeting onto the smae pink spotty card and voila my finished masterpiece.
