Auntie birthday card

I'm struggling for inspiration with this Tonic die. I have used the die to cut into the front of a white 8x8in white card. I have cut the outer edge of the die into the pink card. My printed personalised sentiment has been die cut with the inner die in the set. I have die cut the flowers in patterned paper from my stash using a Cheery Lynn die. I embellished the flowers with buttons. I completed the card with flat backed pearls.

Pretty Fairy Card

This card is for the challenge over at Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper. 

I have coloured the image using my Spectrum Noir pencils. I have used patterned paper paper from my stash to cover my 8x8in white card. I have used the same paper to make flowers using a Cheery Lynn die. For each flower I cut it out twice and offset them when I stuck them together. I completed the flowers by added buttons from my stash to the centre. I die cut the image using a scalloped circle die from a XCut nesting set. I assembled my card then added flat backed gems around the scalloped circle.

Brother 18th birthday card

This card is for the challenge over at craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper. I have used a 8x8in white card and covered it with gingham card from Anna Marie. I have used a fisherman image and coloured it with my Spectrum Noir pencils. I die cut the image with a Xcut scalloped circle die. I die cut the next size in the nesting set in brown to mount the image. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a GoKreate scalloped oval die. I die cut 18 with Marianne die. I completed my card with buttons from my stash.
