Fun the the Sun at Pollycraft

Good Morning All!

Hope your week is going well!  I am back today for a new challenge at Pollycraft and this week is very topical (for the UK anyway!) as the theme is:

"Fun in the Sun"

There are some gorgeous fun, summer images on the Pollycraft website so please check them out!  Here is my card:

This was a fun card to make!  I have used another of the gorgeous Lil Dumplings and she is called Bloom.  The papers are from Echo Park called Splash.  I have used dies from La La Land including Palm Tree, Cloud Set and Filigree Corner.  I have added some blue ribbon from my stash and the sun is made using a Rhinestone Sparkler from the Hobby House.  

Pop on over to the main challenge blog for some more fabulous inspiration.  I hope you can join in, the winner will receive a £10 voucher to spend in store

OK, that's it from me, have a great day!

Good Afternoon Everyone

I hope your weekend is going well, its going too quickly though isn't it! 

I made a card yesterday which I don't think I like very much but am posting it anyway!  I think its the flowers, I don't normally use this many!  

I had a bit of a clear up of my images yesterday and found some pre-coloured LOTV images which I hadn't used.  This one is from a sheet called Girly Afternoons but I think now its included in the "Just for Girls" Artpad.  I used my new Lil' Inker Designs square stitched die and La La Land Open Leaf Flourish!  I added some glamour dust, pearls and some mulberry flowers from my stash.  The paper is from Maja Designs! 

I hope you like the card, even if I don't!!  

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and please don't forget to enter into my blog candy here. 

Love and Hugs

"Ruby Red"

Here is my card:

I have used one of the fabulous new Lil Dumplings images and this little cutie is called Queenie.  I am not sure why her wings look pink!  They don't look that colour in real life!  It was the first time I have tried to do curly hair so I hope it looks ok!  I had to do it a few times!  I have made a couple of cards recently not using any DPs and I quite like this look, you my see a few more done like this!  The mulberry roses, pearl string and pearls are all from the Hobby House.
