Distressed card
For the background I have used distressing inks, then crumbled up the card then spray on my Glimmer Mist. These products work fantastically together.
The Flower Lover image has been stamped in Versafine black then coloured in with pencils. I made this for one of my dear friends birthday who was 88 this week.
Thanks for looking.

SCS Challenge
Flower Lover
This is a very simple card but quite effective, just goes to show sometimes less is more.
I have used B Line Designs 'Flower Lover' stamp from LB Crafts which has been stamped in Versafine Black and coloured in with my Karisma pencils. The purple base card has been stamped all over with the Sanded background stamp from S.U. using Adironack Purple Twilight. Then I made a flower using my S.U. 5-Petal Flower punch.
I think what makes this card is the silver mirri card and the simplicity of it. Unfortunately the photo itself doesn't actually do this card justice.
Hope you like it.

Touch of Nature
I have used Chocolate Chip ink pad on the background and the bird image and have coloured the bird in using my Karisma colouring pencils.

One for my Dad
These adorable little owls are one of Rachel Anne Miller's design. I have used Cuttlebug embossing folder on the base of the card along with my scor-it board to add extra interest. I coloured the owls with my Karisma pencils and blending solution. The letters that spell out dad are Quickutz 'Star' alphabet. Foolishly I didn't buy the upper case in this set and now they are unavailable. That was a big mistake!!!!!!!!!!!
I always enjoy making cards for men so no surprise then that my next posting will be another mans card.
The inspiration for the layout of this card came from Heart Prints Card Gallery, click here to pop over to Sue site, it is full of lovely ideas.
Until then happy crafting.

I’ve used my rectangle nestabilities to sit the bear on and have coloured all the images with my Marvy Le Plumes.

My two dear friends have both started a diet, me too come to think of it. So I made them these cards to encourage them along the way.
The pumping iron girl is from Whipper Snapper ‘Working it out’ which has been coloured in with Karisma colouring pencils and a blending solution.
All papers are from Stampin’ Up and the flowers have been made using the 5-Petal Flower punch. I used my circle Nestabilities to decorate.
Thanks for looking.
