So Sweet ...

Today over at Passion for Promarkers the challenge title is 

'Glitter & Pastels' and I just couldn't resist inking up this gorgeous Tilda

with some sparkly wings!
 I have cut out some hexagon shapes, mounted then stitched to represent
honeycomb along with some dry embossing too.

Thanks a Bunch (House Mouse GDT Card) ...

So excited this is my first Guest Design Spot for House Mouse and I 

have thoroughly enjoyed using this new stamp set called

 'Thanks a Bunch' which was my prize for coming second

in a House Mouse Challenge last month.

The challenge today is a photo inspiration one, gorgeous colour combination don't you think?

I think this style of card is called a 'Joy' fold, which basically is a small card

inside a bigger one!

(This is the inside)

Little Holly ....

Today I have 'Little Holly' from the wonderful Lili of the Valley latest release.  This is the second card I have made using this little cutie but this time I have gone for a night time background.  I have coloured her using a selection of Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Prismas to create this affect.  As you can see I have taken my time and done it 'Pointillism' style.  

---

I have used navy linen cardstock, Papermania backing paper, Rymans white cardstock.

The sentiment is from the Adorables range of stamps, some red seam binding and I have recycled the holly leaves & berries from an old cracker, sprinkled with Twinklets diamond dust, all finished off with some more hand stitching.  Almost forgot some Stickles Crystal glitter for the candle to give a warm glow.

I am entering this card into the Lili of the Valley challenge this week which is 'Warm and Cozy'

Thanks for looking, take care, Jane x
