Oh my have you seen the new releases from My Favourite Things (MFT) I adore this new

The layout is fabulous as always as I play along with the MFT sketch challenge, I have hand stitched
the cloud base & tree tops which were cut on my Silhouette.  Cloud paper, coloured with Promarkers & Pencils Sequins to finish, I love it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ...

I'm back, time not on my side right now but I have my first ever 'double slider' card to share with you
today using this gorgeous image from Lili of the Valley titled: Cream Cake, yum!

So you just pull the ribbon with a super cute 'slice of cake' charm and 'hey presto' surprise, 
I LOVE IT 
definitely will be making another, something a little different.

Coloured with Promarkers, hand stitched, silver heat embossed, birthday sentiment & balloons.
Spectacular sentiment was a magazine freebie, buttons & gems.  Doily & bunting were from 
a Doohickey Club Box HERE.  Cut on my Silhouette Cameo & finally the little itty bitty clouds.
