Flowerpot Card for Bunny Zoes

Good evening my lovelies wishing you a very happy Wednesday.  I've been trying to share my card with you since yesterday and today I've had so many visitors since coming in from work it's been just plain ridiculous but hey I'm here now.  I was lucky enough and very honoured to be chosen as guest designer for the fabulous Bunny Zoe's challenge and this month the theme was 'summer florals' and this is what I came up with.  I've been meaning to have a go at making a flowerpot card for a long time and this challenge just seemed perfect.

Serenade Moments

Hello my lovelies how are we all doing on this fab fine Wednesday.

I have a bit of Dies to Die for inspiration for you today.  I have made a little set of draws which look so darn cute and would make an ideal gift.  I made all the little matchboxes with the fabulous Cheery Lynn Matchbox set (small) which comes with two dies - one to make the inside box and one to make the outside cover of the box and I must say it so cuts down on the time it would take to make the little boxes myself and no measuring either it's all done for you just fold and stick brilliant!  I used a gorgeous Candibean stamp called 'Serenade Moments' and coloured it in with my Prismacolour pencils and then decorated it all with lush Glitz papers called 'Happy Travels' loving these.  All the edges have been inked with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a few flowers added to finish off.

A little pully wagon

Hello my lovelies just dropping by to share with you all a little creation I made for my Dies to Die for DT.  I've been trying to get this finished since Monday, but as its half term we've had a few visitors and family over so I kept getting interrupted but I got there in the end!

When I saw this little Candibean stamp 'Penny's Pully Wagon' my first thought was gosh she's a cutie patootie and then I thought hey I could make a little wagon and it would be great to hold a little birthday gift.  So that's what I did and I had so much fun and a little heads up - she's on sale too over at the Dies to Die for shop.  

Once I'd made the basic wagon I decorated it with these gorgeous Maja Design Vintage Summer Basics 1909 papers - which are seriously lush folks and took a lot of will power to cut into I can tell you!  Anyway, all the edges were distressed with walnut stain and then I added the image and decorated with flowers and fab sentiment which I think is perfect for a little girl.  Piccies coming up next:-
