Thanks for everything.....

The Twofer Challenge this month is Blossoms....
The challenge requires you to make two cards, 
using the same stamp or die and using the theme of Blossoms,
for two different occasions and two distinctly different designs....

These are my cards.......

I was inspired by The Paper Players Colour challenge to use any shade of Pink.
A girls got to have a pink dress.........
Thrilled to have been chosen as The Headliner with my Card....Thank you so much x
And
A winner over at The Twofer Challenge----Thank you, made my day....x
The CAS Watercolour Challenge this month is Garden, 
which inspired me to make a garden themed CAS card.......
Yey to the Outstanding Design shout out....Thank you x

The stamp I have used is a poppy stamp by Penny Black from 'Blooming Garden'.
I used it as a poppy in my garden themed card 
and reversed it, fussy cut it 
and coloured in many shades of pink for my Birthday Girl Dress card.
I had so much fun making this card....
The flourish was stamped in grey archival and in parts I popped on Mica Flakes.
The dress and card is all girly and swirly....
The dress has been water coloured with many shades of pink, using Lindy's Magical powders.
 The Happy Birthday sentiment is a crisp upright font to contrast,
 with the swirls and is by Happy Little Stampers.
I finished off with silver stickles and popping up the centre panel onto foam.

My Garden themed CAS card has been water coloured with Lindy Magicals too 
but the flat ones, which have no shine.
I masked the poppy's and then stamped varies individual flower/grass stamps in the background.
The fun element of the spiders web has been embossed in silver.
I also popped up a rectangle panel onto black foam to add further interest.

Contrasting cards in style and occasions and boy did I have fun x
Thank you so much for finding the time to stop by, I really do appreciate it.

Cupcake...

Today's card .......
I had a shout out...Inspiring Stand out ...for this card at 
Inspired by all the little things-Thank you very much x
I was inspired by All The Little Things Challenge Photo........
I have used a cupcake stencil with white and coloured pink embossing paste.
The pink embossing paste is textured with sand 
to look like the top of the yummy photo inspiration. 
The cake has been hi-lighted with silver stickles, crystals and a clear glitter pen.
I have lightly stenciled pink small dots on the background.
The crown has been stamped with glue and Silver Mica Flakes added.
I loved the sentiment and thought of the cupcake ....
being beautiful inside (my tummy) and outside x.

CASology, Addicted to Stamps , AAA Cards and CAS Mix UP all have CAS challenges
that I will be popping my card into .....

I have a mini member of the family, who is all girly, loves princesses and loves cupcakes,
so this card will be going her way x

No Man........

Today's Card.....
Update- I was lucky enough to get a Top Pick for this card at 
Stamplorations sketch and theme challenge-Thrilled...Thank you so very much x
I used a flourish stencil and black embossing paste.
Once this was dry I popped on glue and Gold Mica Flakes.
The red hearts have been stamped, fussy cut and glossy accents added to them.
I popped them onto foam.
I stamped the sentiment, which I absolutely love....
It came in the post this week and if you are lucky then I think it's the perfect sentiment x
This is not a good photo but wanted to show the glossy effect on the hearts.
The card is CAS with texture.
