Anything Goes @ I ♥ Promarkers

Hello and good morning :)

My card today is for our new challenge over at I ♥ Promarkers where this week we have a really easy theme of  'Anything Goes'.  We are sponsored by the fabulous Joanna Sheen who is generously offering the winner a £10 voucher to spend online. :) 

This weekend I had been playing about with some dies (again) and made the above shape with just a Cheery Lynn victorian corner die cut twice and layered on top of each other.  I thought that this gorgeous Sweet Pea image went really well with it and just coloured with PM's.

The border was made from a MS punch and another Cheery Lynn Lace die and the flowers are WOC. Quite quick and simple for me :)

Charisma Cardz - Ribbon, Ribbon, Ribbon

Morning, I am back again today with another card :)

...... and todays card is for our new challenge over at Charisma Cardz which is 'Ribbon, Ribbon, Ribbon'.  We are sponsored this week by Crafty Emmas Store and Digi-Doodle Shop, so 2 fabby prizes and well worth playing along.

Now I thought for this theme I would have a bash at ribbon weaving.  Using the MS punch made it really quick and easy, as I didnt have to worry about keeping the spacing even, or keeping the ribbon straight. ;)  

The image is a gorgeous Lili of the Valley stamp, which I have had for ages, so thought it was high time I used it! :) lol.  I hand stitched First Edition paper and just added Card Candi, MS butterflies and also used glossy accents and glitter on the 'bloons'.

For my card I used this really cute 'Gift Wrapped' image, and was aiming for a  light, fresh and springlike feel.  This was quite a quick make too, as I just used an MS patp on Centura pearl card and embossed it.  I   coloured the image with PM's and Flexmarkers, and the dies are spellbinder and doo hickey.  Flowers were from ebay and the pearls are from Joanna Sheen.

I am entering this card in the following competitions:
