Birthday card for my fishing mad husband!!

A personalised birthday card for my supportive and very special husband. He absolutely loves fishing so this topper from Hunkydorys Gentleman's Journey pad is ideal. I have used gingham paper from Anna Marie to cover my 8x8in white card. I added a strip of brown card up the centre of the card. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with an oval die. I assembled my card using double sided tape and completed it with a fishing embellishment from my stash.

I have printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a scalloped oval, I also cut another white oval for the opposite side and added the numbers which have been cut using Tattered Lace dies. I cut the bookmark in red and white and embossed the white. I attached them to the centre of the pages and then added a congratulations sentiment. I assembled all these elements and then added flowers from my stash and handmade stick pins using Pinflair. I completed my card with Nuvo drops from Tonic and ribbon

Floral Heart card

A card I have made after having some inspiration from Anna Marie, I bought some of her products at Ally Pally on Saturday. I watched her Create and Craft show from Friday today on catch up she is so talented.

I have used her patterned paper on my A4 card. I used the Microbead strawberries, pearl strands and berries from Anna Marie, I have also used various flowers from my stash. I die cut a heart in acetate and stuck all the embellishments on to it using Pin Flair. I printed the personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Sizzix scalloped oval. 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
