Do you feel frilly this morning - or are you more of a scallop!

Good morning all

Well I'm totally mixed up this week - I'm definitely a bit frilly!! - I swapped my days at work round to fit in with some training days and now that its got to Thursday when I should be at work - I'm not sure what day it is any more.  But as I have a DT card for Delightful challenges - I finally decided it must be Thursday after all.

Our theme at
Delightful Challenges

 for this weeks challenge is

Frilly  
(Scallops and Lace)

I used the pretty digistamp Daisy Flower available here
and the sentiment is fom the spring sentiments set available here

 and following from yesterdays card I'll let you see whats inside too

Frills and scallops to match!

What have you got inside!

Good morning all

Well there's a question and one we'd like to see the answer to
at Fab'n Funky challenges this week 

our challenge this week is 

What's inside?

(decorate inside your card)

I do always decorate inside of my cards to match the outside - though I don't often show the inside on my blog.  But here I am showing my inside off today!!

Just as well its not my real insides - I dread to think what it looks like in there yuk!

We are sponsored this week by the fab

Stampfairy

 

who are offering a fab prize of $10 to spend in their shop

We were lucky enough to get some cute images to play with 

I chose this cute little girl called

Mimi Stars 4 - available here

The layout of this card came about by accident really - I was making a scalloped edge to go down the side edge with a ribbon but when I put the scallop together I thought it sort of looked like a pelmet and as this little girl looks like she's on the stage I decided to mount it on 3d foam along the top of the card and leave it at that!  I decorate the inside to match using the same layout.  I've also been getting a bit attached to my stickles of late so gave them a bit of an outing on this card too!

This is what I did...

Hope you're blooming this morning!

Good morning all

Today I have a card that was supposed to be a DT card for the challenge at

 My Time to Craft

the Challenge is

Decoupage

but I didn't get it finished in time!

To be fair its not my week to post on MTTC DT but when I saw this image I knew it was perfect for the challenge, and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it -so decided I would  go for it.  The image is one of the gorgeous new release digis over at Whimsy Stamps from

Stampart Designs by Kathryne

 and its called

 Pretty Petals2 available here

It took me ages to colour all of the flowers for this card, I printed the image twice and coloured all of the flowers - I'm not a - just because you can't see them girl!  all of the flowers are coloured under the decoupaged ones too!  The sentiment also comes in the set with the image (there are two others that say "love blooms here" that are really nice too)

I cut out the second flowers shaped them and mounted them on different sizes of 3d foam to give a variety of height and left some of the flowers just as the flowers on the original card.  I then cut a couple of the flowers to embellish the sentiment - just to tie it into the design.  i also edged all the white card with a toning pen (copic R02) just to difine the edge.  I was really pleased with this when it was finished, I didn't go overboard on the embellies as the flowers say it all on this card, I felt quite pleased with myself that everything on this card was hand made(except the pearls!)  and I had to use a really big bow to finish it off - well you always get a big bow on a bouquet of flowers don't you lol.

A close up of the decoupage

Here's what I did.....
