follow a sketch.....hope I've followed
it ok....

I love the clean lines on these cards so simple
to make but I think less is definitely the way
to go....love the colours aswell think
they go really good together....

was run thought my sizzix express in a cuttle bug
folder....the butterfly's where punched from bazzil
card with a Martha Steward punch....the
bottom of the card is also punched out
with a Martha Steward punch....thanks for looking

a few now bought this the same time as
the girl bear....
I started with a square card and placed a piece of
bazzil card over the top...I then cut out the front of
the card using my nesties...the image was stamped onto
white card using memento ink....and was coloured in with
my trusty promarkers...the image
was cut out using the same nestie as
I used on the front of the card...

some bazzil and a bow tied around...the paper on
the back of the card is from my stash...

and peeled paint from tim holts...they where applied
with cut and dry foam...the image was then mounted
onto black card....

and stuck onto the design paper....the paper is from my
stash....quite funky I think lol!!!!...

I used the same effect as before but using
tumbled glass and faded jeans....

the party invitation was printed on my
computer and cut out...red ribbon was tied around
the invitation...and on the back
