Loving these free papers!!

I dont know if many of you have this months Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine but the free MME papers that came with it are gorgeous - I am loving the bright zinginess (is that a word???) of these.

Today, I received my free digi image from Pollycraft and wanted to play with it straight away - so had a little go at making a slightly different card:


And this is it standing up:




I really need to learn how to take better photos - it looks better in real life - lol.

I have made my own card blank and then trimmed off the bottom, and then when fixed the image on levelled it up with the base so that it stands on the image - does that make sense ?? Based on an idea I had seen on a blog or a magazine (but cant remember which!)

I have used MME papers.
Gingham ribbon & buttons from the local Boyes stores.
The image is fixed with 3d sticky fixes to Bazzill card stock.
Image has been coloured with Promarkers.

I would like to enter it into the following challenges:

Pollycraft - Happy Birthday
Stampavie - Anything goes
I love promarkers - buttons
Craftalicious - birthdays
The crafty pad - Inspirational photo


Thanks for looking xx

    Thanks for the kind words on my blog, I don't have a shop or anything I just make stuff because I enjoy making it. I will have to bite the bullet one day though as I have boxes full of stuff taking over my home!
