Pansy

You might recognize this image from my recent DT card for A Gem of a Challenge.  When I print Digi images I quite often print a couple of different sizes and that's just what I did with this gorgeous image called Pansy from Pink Gem Designs.

This time I chose a lilac colour scheme, I coloured my image with ProMarkers and the papers are from Bearly Mine Designs. The sentiment comes with the image and I just added a few gems and some ribbon from my stash.

Birthday Cakes

Something a little different from me today, I have used one of the fabulous new Art Pad toppers and Papers from LOTV to make what is quite a fussy card by my standards.

I cut the image out using a circle die and used one of the new Clearly Besotted Scalloped Edges dies on the bottom.  The bow is a Die-namics die cut and the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards. I added glitter to the outside of the image and some gems to the scalloped border.
