Forever Friends 'Use Punches' Challenge

Hi guys and girls
Long time no post... anyway, I have been having a few problems with my internet connection so now it has finally been sorted I can post a card or two.

Here is my card for this fortnight's Forever Friends challenge, 'Use Punches' and is sponsored by Whimsey Stamps. I have used one of their digital images 'Touched by Love'.  The background text and 'leaf' is by Hero Arts Clear Designs.

The punches I used were my large scalloped circle nesties, which I created the centre piece with and the borders were created using my Martha Stewart emboss and cut scallops with dots (not sure that is the correct name as the packaging has long since been disposed of).

I then simply added some blue flowers just to finish the card off, which I adhered with my trusty glue gun.

Neopolitan Delights

This is a card that I have made for the Teddy Bear Stampers Blog Challenge.  Their challenge this fortnight was to create a card using the sketch and the colours were blue, pink, yellow and brown.  Not a fabulous colour combo but I rose to the challenge anyway, oh... and of course, you have to have either a digi stamp or rubber stamped image of a teddy bear.

Initially, I was going to try and make this challenge combine with the Penny Black Challenge too, but I love this little Lili of the Valley bearsoooooo much that I just really wanted to use him for this one. And I think it turned out pretty good. I used my large scalloped circle nesties and created a pink and a brown layer (you can just about see the pink scalloped layer above the brown one but under the white circle with the image) and I stuck them all together.

I then cut some baby blue cardstock and border punched it with my Martha Stewart Doily punch and then added some blue and brown circle ribbon to it and finally I added the flowers with the pearls.  To finish the whole thing off I then added some brown and blue coloured gemstones to the top of the doily punch circles.

Easy Living

I made this card with my lovely ProMarkers and my new nestabilities scalloped circles. I love them so much and I'm really pleased with them. I think I like these more than my scalloped square nestabilities. I added some flowers and some gemstones and of course my favourite little dragonflies.

This is the whole version of the card. I added some silver/grey organza ribbon to coordinate with the silver adhesive glitter behind the Penny Black image and the 'Just for you' greeting that Sarn's sister, Sharon, kindly gave to me.
