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.

Card
For this weeks challenge I have stamped the bird image by Stampers Anonymous with black versafine, adding some detail with the glossy accents and added a blue gem to his eye. Then I stamped the Inkadinkado quote stamp in the same versafine ink and three of the gems were added - this was then mounted onto holographic silver card. I then layered up three different background papers and added a ribbon.
~~~~~~~~~





Card
I stamped my Lily stamp "My Little Friend" and coloured her with distress inks and I also stamped and coloured some birds from a OneFourZero theme plate. The saying "A little birdie told me" was hand written and I added assorted papers, wire and flowers. I finally edged all of the panels with a brown marker for definition.
~~~~~~~~~




Card
I have made my card using an Owl stamp of unknown origin and a set of stamps from Stampin Up called ' The Art of Life'. I have embossed images as I go along creating a scene. Inks have been sponged on in Adirondack Butterscotch, Terracotta, Ginger, Espresso and Black. Mounted 3D over coordinating card stock.
~~~~~~~~~





Plaque
I painted a piece of card with gold ink and then cut out lots of squares in different shapes and sizes. I painted each one and then decorated with lots of beads and sequins. I printed out some words and distressed with ink. For my bird I used a clipart image and painted over the top.
~~~~~~~~~~





Card
I stamped the peacock image with turquoise ink onto white card then embossed it with turquoise sparkle powder. I then colour washed the background and highlighted the 'spots' with twinkling H2O's. I mounted the image onto co-ordinating cardstock. I scored a piece of A4 acetate to make an A5 base. I coloured 4 corner peel-off's with a turquoise permanent marker and placed these on each corner of the acetate base, then mounted the image in the centre. On the inside (with the colour facing out) I glued a piece of green pearl paper.
~~~~~~~~~~





Card
I stamped my image and watercoloured it in. I matted it onto co-ordinating paper and added a strip of patterned paper down the side. I punched out some flowers and added Copper Stickles to the centres, and printed out a message on the PC, and finally inked round the edge of my card with Distress Ink.

I stamped the gorgeous 'dungarees Maggie' from Bootiful Stampz our sponsor for this week onto white card with black archival ink. Maggie is coloured with prismacolor pencils and sansodor and a touch of red glitter, I then cut her out. I cut a strip of pearescent white card to size then embossed it with the CB hearts folder. I glued Maggie to the bottom of the card. Using red paper I die cut the letters. I cut out the heart from red paper and attached a gold heart brad to the centre. I arranged the letters onto the card. I laminated the strip of card and then attached an eyelet at the top and threaded this with red ribbon
~~~~~~~~~

Card
I stamped 'Party Maggie' onto patterned paper and pieced her together. I then highlighted areas with distress inks and a white gel pen. I matted her onto patterned paper and surrounded her with 10 flowers using 8 brads and 2 eyelets! I finished the card with a hand written 'hippy chick' greeting.
~~~~~~~~~






Card
I covered the card in backing paper, stamped the 'Maggie Heart T-Shirt' image and coloured her in, adding some Stickles to the heart and hair. I then attached the image with eyelets to a mat then added to the card. I stamped a Happy Birthday message, and finished off with some Primas with heart brads in the centres.
~~~~~~~~~

Card
I made a circle shape card. I used this beautiful 'Flower top Maggie' stamp by Bootiful Stampz. I coloured her in with watercolours & distress inks. I drew a patten of hearts, swirls and flowers and stuck lots of silver beads on. The papers I used were purple card stock and Basic grey: Perhaps - Beatrice. I drew some stitching around the edges and used distress inks around the edges of my card. I embellished with white ribbon and paper flowers and some bronze brads.
~~~~~~~~





Card
This week we were given a stamp from the Bootiful Stampz range to use alongside the challenge of *Brads and/or Eyelets! * This was a fab stamp 'Red Riding Maggie' and I have had a look at some of the other images - I am definitely into 'cute' and my wish list has just got a lot longer! For my card I have used background papers from the Cute Companion CD and the JS Fashion Boutique CD. My image has been coloured with pens and I have embellished with white lace, Prima flowers, stamped leaves, gems and *Diamanté brads* adorn the photo corners.
