Christening Order

Don't faint, but I'm back again with my third post of the day.
This is a card I've done for a christening, but the little girl is well over a year old, so baby images did not seem to suit, so instead I have used the Cuttlebug embossing folder of Tinkerbell. I have glittered the embossed areas, and sewn beads to the fairy dust coming from her wand. The charm is one from my shop, and the DP will be available there also very shortly.
I would like to enter this card in the following challenges;

What'eva and DT Call

Evening All.
I am sorry this is late today, but my youngest and I decided it was such a lovely day that we should go to the seaside. So instead of posting on my blog, and doing all the boring jobs around the house, we have had a picnic on Southend seafront, played in the penny arcades, eaten too much ice cream, and basically had a fab day.
So now with little boy asleep on sofa - think he's a bit tuckered out, I thought I'd better post todays DT card for Fab 'n' Funky. We have an anything goes theme this week, and we are also looking for some new members to join the team - so pop on over to the challenge blog to check out the details if you fancy joining us. The sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More .
I have used a JBS floral stamp on my card, which is available from my shop. It is stamped out onto the white card then I have paper pieced the layers up to give the rose it's depth.
I would like to enter this card in the following challenges;
Secret Crafter - clean and simple
Stamp With Fun - in the garden
and
A Spoonful Of Sugar - flower power
Thanks for looking, and I'll be back soon.

Fairy Flowers

Morning All.
I thought I'd pop by and share one of the cards my ladies made yesterday. The idea of the class was to make your own floral embellishments, so on this card they have made roses using spirals cut fro circles. The image is one of my favourites from LOTV, which as been coloured with ProMarkers, then sparkled up using glamour dust. They found the roses a bit tricky to start with, but soon got into the swing of them.
I would like to enter this card in the following challenges;
LOTV - I believe in fairies
Allsorts - thngs with wings
CES - embossing
Creative Craft World - use 3 or more flowers
Dream Valley - stamp something
Stamp With Fun - in the garden
I Love Promarkers - sparkling bling
Ladybug Crafts Ink - make your own embellishments
Tuesday Throwdown -DIY embellishments
and
Truly Scrumptious - summer sparkle

Thanks for looking, and I'll be back later with my next DT card for Fab 'n' Funky.
