Card
For my card I have used a K & Co striped paper, yellow card, pink card and pale grey card. The stamps are Elusive Images and they have been embossed in silver detail embossing powder. I have added buttons and twine to the centre of the flowers and attached 3D to the base card. I have embellished with a pink flower buckle and silver grey organza ribbon.

Card

I coloured Tilda with distress inks and matted her on top of various patterned papers which I doodled around. I sewed buttons onto the card and also stitched the stem of the flower. The buckle is a chipboard sticker threaded through ribbon.

Card
I stamped a Little Cotton Rabbit image and water coloured and Stickled her. I matted her onto my card, together with a Penny Black greeting, and some buttons and sparkly gems. I used peeloffs for the name, and some lilac grosgrain ribbon to go through the buckle, and finally added a large silver number 1!

Card
I cut an oval of cream card and stamped Tilda with black archival ink in the centre. I paper pieced Tilda's dress & bow and coloured the rest of her with prisma pencils blended with sansodor and highlighted her with iridescent medium. I glued buttons around the edge of the oval. I stuck patterned paper to a 4x4 piece of mountboard and then glued the oval centrally. I doodled around the edge of the page and hand wrote 'for you' in brown felt tip pen.

Card
I watercoloured a Hanglar image and used black, cream and blue card stock, as well as some K & co floral paper. I added some paper roses and a distressed a large paper flower with inks. I embellished with some adhesive pearls and then added a pearl button to the center of my flower. I then added a diamond buckle & gold ribbon. I finished off by drawing a leaf pattern and carefully glueing on some bronze beads.

Card
I started by stamping the words and leaves and buttons with vintage sepia versafine. I then cut out the leaves. For the backing paper I used K & co button paper. I added glossy accents to random buttons on the paper. The card was finished of with cream ribbon and a gold buckle cut with the quickutz.
