Red, white and blue ...


... and lots of Portabello Road!!!!  I love these papers,especially the red gingham!

 For this card I used a SU flower stamp and matching punch, and stamped the flower in Not Quite Navy before punching it out.  I matted it onto red gingham paper and added a red pearl to its centre.  A few pearls for decoration and that's it.

Challenges
Less is More - red, white and blue

I love Krista's Saturated Canary images and Party Hardy is one little cutie.  I think its the cheeky face that does it for me!!  SHe is coloured with promarkers and I added some glamour dust to the cake.  I used a die cut from the Prtabello pack, and added gingham ribbon, and a bow with a wooden button at its centre.  Finally a pearl swirl to finish.

Challenges:
OhLaLa Creations - make it girly
Stampavie and more - for a girl
Fab n Funky - celebrations
I love Promarkers - use a digi
Dutch Dare Card challenge - pearls and swirls
Crafty Catz - buttons and bows

Another of Krista's images - Skateboard, again coloured with promarkers.  I added some plaited twine, a gold painted clock dies and some stars made using my nesties.  This is for one of the boys I mind - who thinks skatebaording should be an olympic sport!!  Not that he's obsessed with skateboarding ... not at all!!
