Take It Easy

This is one of the Joanna Sheen unmounted stamps, I've had it for a while but for some reason the poppy gave me a real colouring headache:).  I'm much happier with this one which is watercolour pencils and Aquamarkers.  The DP is Basic Grey Sugar Rush and I've followed the sketch from House Mouse Challenge, they are having  a birthday blog hop at present.
My card is also for:
Totally Gorjuss Challenge - Wild Thing
Pixie Dust Studio - Fur or Feathers
Shirleys2Girls - Critters and Birthday

You Make Life Sweet

This very cute digi image is from Phindy O'Neill; it is a freebie to her group on Papercraftplanet. As Phindy is sponsoring Cute Card Thursday's spots and dots challenge it seemed right to use one of her images :). I've follwed the sketch from Paper Sundae's Challenge, keeping the sweet theme going. The Pixie Dust Challenge is to use a decorative border, so I'm entering this new-to-me challenge as well.

I coloured my image with Copics, cut it out and framed it using Nesties and used a Hero Arts sentiment. The dotty DPs are free My Minds Eye ones that came with a magazine, I also used gold mirri card as a layer. I cut the card front down and added a thin strip of mirri card here as well, to highlight the decorative border punching, is done with a Martha Stewart doily lace punch. The ribbon is from stash.

PS Simon Says is trying to break their record and get over 400 entries for their Love theme, so I'm also entering this card into their challenge.
