Card
I stamped the image (unknown source) in black stayzon on to acetate, then highlighted the feather with currant alcohol ink. I covered the back of the acetate with clear glitter glue then mounted this on to tan card then layered onto gold card. I covered the base with Crafty Individuals backing papers and highlighted the white flowers with glitter glue. Lastly I mounted the image on to the top left of the base then added 3 bronze gems to finish.

4x4
I used dark & pale pink cardstock, pink primas & white buttons. The ribbons I used are by creative impressions and the paper is MME Valentine - Cupid's Toile and I used a vintage image. I stamped onto pink paper with my paper artsy words stamp and added lots of sparkle with my silver stickles.
~~~~~~~~~~~

Card
For my card I have painted a piece of white card with Ecoline inks in three colours. Once dry I have sprayed with black webbing spray and while this was still wet I have added some black sparkling embossing powder in places and heat embossed. The bird is a Cornish Heritage Farm stamp and I have water coloured the image. I have then covered the piece in embossing ink and added some clear, super sparkle embossing powder and heat embossed. I have embellished with a piece of cuttlebug embossing, added silver eyelets and through this have threaded some shiny silver thread. The image is mounted 3D and I have popped three gems into the corner. Plenty of sparkle!

Card
I stamped the Penny Black image 'Light the Night' and coloured in with twinkling H20s. I then added sparkly purple glitter to the scarf, bag, dress and flowers. I also added some sparkly silver sequins to the bottom of the card to create even more sparkle! I finally added some messages and flowers for decoration.

Card
I stamped a Cuddly Buddly Emmy image and used glitter glue, glitter Sakura pen and pearly watercolour to colour her in! I matted her onto hologram fuschia pink card, and matted the heart paper onto pink glitter card. The I cut some flowers with my Big Shot out of the fuschia hologram, and used stickles for the centres!

Card

Card
I used paper from DCWV stamped with a paperbagstudio stamp in black stazon. I then stamped the daisy on glittery white paper and cut it out and attached it with a glittery brad. I then stamped a small piece of the same DCWV paper with lots of different quotes and matted it all on mirri card. The final touch to the card was some gold thread.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Card
I used a quote sticker which says 'Children are poor man's riches' which I thought would make a lovely New Baby card. I coloured the Tilda image in with pencils and arranged assorted panels around the image. I did some hand stitching on the card and doodling then added Primas and brads for decoration.
~~~~~~~~~~

Tag
I stamped on a tag with Versamark and clear embossed some words, then rubbed over the tag with Adirondack Raisin ink pad. I then stamped a Penny Black quote and edged it with gold Krylon, attached a couple of brads and added it to the tag, which I also edged with gold Krylon.
~~~~~~~~~~

Card
Backing paper from Paper Cellar - Men's. The image is a download from Cuddly Buddly - Local lads. Round Quote is from K&Co. Chalks to colour the background behind the image.
~~~~~~~~~~

Gothic Arch
I used pink, lilac and black cardstock and gold mirri card for my arch. I added lots of pink buttons, purple eyelets and purple & gold ribbon. The image & quote I used are by Heatwarming vintage cuts. The Quote reads: "Love can split the heavens in two and let the face of god shine through." The paper was made using a handwriting background stamp and then distressing with my tattered rose ink pad. I added a purple prima and I drew freehand gold detail with liquid pearls I also added a few sequins.
~~~~~~~~~~

Card
I was eager to use something that I bought at the NEC on Friday so I made an aperture card with some of this gorgeously fine fabric placed over the aperture. The stamps are a Serendipity cling set called 'Adirondack Chair' and I have water coloured the image with Lyra Wax Crayons. I have embossed some large spots with my crop-o-dile, stamped the quote underneath using Versafine Sepia and embellished with a couple of stamped and water coloured butterflies.

Skinny Page
I used DCWV Old World paper for the backing, stamped and cut out a vintage lady and water coloured her in, and added some roses which I Glossy Accented, and stamped a word.
~~~~~~~~~~

Card

For my card I have used a Cornish Heritage Farms Flaming stamp. I punched a circle out of a piece of scrap card and used this as a template for a setting sun, using a couple of dye ink pads and a cotton wool ball to transfer colour to the template. I then stamped the Flamingo image over the setting sun and added colour to this with Copic pens. Mounted over a couple of layers of pink card, one of which has been embossed. Stitching detail has been added to each layer and I have embellished with pale pink satin ribbon and a pink prima flower.
~~~~~~~~~~

Tag
For my Tag, I used some pink cardstock & paper called: Loves Me - So Happy togesther. I then drew lots of freehand details with a whispers brush marker. I covered a chipboard heart in pink paper and embellished with a pink flower with brad, and some silver sequins. The pink spotty ribbon I used was by Creative Impressions.
