Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Don't be Square! Week 121

I've made a quick card for another friend - I have loads of Birthdays this month so thought I'd make it a challenge card. The Penny Black Saturday Challenge this week is to make a non- square card so I used my Cricut to cut out this shape and the mats. The stamp is 'Stressed'. I used some flowers made with Nellie Snellen punches and a Craftwork Cards sentiment. Stickles and pearls finish it. This is a simple card as I don't think this shape needs over embellishing.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge # 77

I had to make a Birthday card this week so thought I'd enter it into this challenge as I liked the sketch that Beth has done. I used a stamped image (from a friend, many thanks) called 'Amore' which I coloured with Promarkers. The flowers are glittered with a sakura pen. I used Basic Grey 'Eva' paper for the patterned squares edged with a pink inkpad and the pink ones are embossed with the 'Snowflakes' folder on the Cuttlebug. These are random dots and not snowflakes at all. I used square gems to embellish the image. The sentiment from Craftwork Cards was mounted on 5 green circles to make a flower. I used a piece of flowery ribbon and gems in the corners to finish it. Pity it's not a Xmas card!! I have so many yet to do!
