Driving in My Car...........

............ But it's not quite a Jaguar!! Yes, it's the song by Madness!
I've made a card for my Nephew's birthday using HM&Friends 'Gruffies' Bearytastic Day' stamp set.
I've colored with Promarkers and used my Letraset fine liner to doodle around the edges of the image and sentiment. Punched a border from Coredinations  CS using my MS combo rings punch and added a piece of Basic Grey's 'Serenade paper, layered my image onto some Centura Pearl textured paper and finished off with some cardcandy.

Sweet & Sassy Thank You

My card today is a white on white using Elizabeth Bell's cutie 'Sweet and Sassy' stamp, coloured with Copics and Distress Markers. I've stamped the background with a Fiskars background stamp and heat embossed with Papermania's embossing powder and distressed the edges of the matting. I've used my Marianne D's Clockand  Mistletoe flower dies, the flowers are embossed with a Papermania freebie folder and i've added some pearls to the centres. I've also used Marianne D's Vintage 'Richelieu' lace. The sentiment and frame stamp are also Fiskars.
