A couple of cards

At last I had a little time to make a card with the edwin I coloured last week. Also I had to make a birthday card for my niece who hit teenage years yesterday!

So here is Edwin first. Of course the lovely stamp is a Magnolia one. I used the fabby nestabilities from the glitter pot for the scalloped circle and then used the regular cirles to cut out the inside. I love these sitting Edwin and Tildas they look so cute like this. The Papers are Crate Paper which I got from http://www.firstclasscrafts.co.uk/ not too sure if they sell papers any more but check out their site for stamps and other bits and pieces. The star where some punches I brought ages ago from the Craft Barn when it was owned by the founder Maggie Wright, I love these stars. So thats that card explained.

Here is the card I made for my niece, I thought it was a great design for a teenager and its one of the new spring designs. Photo isnt great, but you can roughly see what I have done.

I used the Penny Black, cuttlebug folder and Daisy Bucket paper all from www.theglitterpot.co.uk coloured with watercolour pencils, flowers from Prima from USA although I am sure you could find them over here and Bellas Baubles for the centre of the flowers. I was inspired by the pink and blue scheme by the beautiful paper and really went to town with it. I used a thin black pen to add faux piercing to the edge of the stamped panel. Hope you likey?
