A Day For Daisies

I've been making cards with my new A Day For Daisies digis :)

I'm entering this Allsorts 'Case it' challenge. Such a cute tree!

I love the flowers & butterflies on this digi. I added stickles to the butterflies :)

I'm entering this one in the Secret Crafter challenge 'Bright & Cheerful'.

Glass snakes

Spent the sunniest day of the bank holiday cooped up in the flame room, making beads with a friend from work.

Here are a few of the beads I made. Snakes are my new obsession!

Colour Challenge

Thought I'd have a go at a colour challenge for the first time. There's a challenge over at Color Throwdown:

And this is what I came up with:

I used stickles on the water and on her hair, and gems on her dress to bling it up. 

I'm also entering this in the following challenges:

By the Cute & Girly "Spring is All Around"
Paper Pretties "Flowers"
Stamptacular "Spring Bling"
Pink Elephant "Spring Time"

Milk N Coffee Digital Stamps

Been trying out a new digistamp, from Milk N Coffee Digital Stamps.

I used 3D Crystal Clear Lacquer on the water to make it look wet, and added stickles to the blossoms.

Glittering Poppies

The Lily Pad have got a photo challenge on at the moment, to make a card inspired by this photo:

I've used a digistamp of poppies, covered in Star Dust stickles

Happy Birthday Flowers

Made a birthday card with a flowery digi, and blinged it with gems and stickles:

I'm entering this in the 4 Crafty Chicks challenge 'No Stamping', and the Wags 'n' Whiskers challenge 'Anything Goes'.

Charm Bracelet Card

I wanted to make a card for the Less is more challenge 'How Charming', so I've used a charm bracelet digi stamp. I've sewn some silver thread on part of the bracelet strands, and '3D'ed some of the beads. I've used a silver pen and stickles on some of the small beads, and Crystal Clear Lacquer on the red beads to make them stand out. I added 3 small silver plated beads and a silver daisy charm. I hope it is CAS enough, and not too fussy! I had fun making it, anyway, so I might make a couple more in different colours :)

I'm also entering this in the Paper Pretties challenge 'Clean & Simple', the Simon Says Stamp challenge 'Anything Goes', and the Stamptacular challenge 'Loaded with Layers'.
