Here's the card I made for Uma's 30th Birthday. I die cut the 30 on my Cricut and used a flourish stamp from Creative Expressions to embellish it and also gold stickles. The bp is from Dovecraft and I used the same Tilda stamp as the last card with Promarkers. Three Prima flowers and a Craftwork cards sentiment finish it off.

Whoo, hoo, I've posted a challenge card!! Not been here for ages what with holidays and then returning to work. I've made a few cards and have made this one at the weekend.
I made this card for my daughter's friend. The image is a Tilda stamp - coloured with Promarkers. She is sitting on a ribbon in which there's a knot (Truly Scrumptious extra) I used My Mind's Eye pink paper for the bp. The background card is Bazzill card which I've distressed around the edges with a craft knife and then inked with Distress inks - Dusty Concorde and Aged Mahogany. I scored some of the card with the knife and I like the effect the ink has in these cuts. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the border and a Wild Orchid Crafts rose in the corner with Martha Stewart punched leaves. I made the flowers on the right hand side using flower shapes which I cut on the Cricut. I inked these with the Distress Inks. I used pearls, stickles and a Cardcraft sentiment to finish. Only thing is it wouldn't go in the envelope!!
I'd like to enter it into two challenges:
Truly Scrumptious Sketch Challenge
(Use a knot)
and
(Make your own flower)
Here is my Docrafts Feb Friendship swap card for Tracey, Princess666. I used my Cuttlebug Friends Forever folder and die for the main image and inked it with coffee archival ink. The background is a Bazzill panel embossed with the script folder. Martha Stewart butterflies are attached to the front (an extra challenge) and glittered. I used a Tilda stamp, 'Tilda with Bee' inside. I designed this card as a wallet so that I could include some goodies! Hope Tracey likes it.
I had to make two get well cards last week so carried on with the step theme and made these. Both use my 'Tilda with Bee' stamp and 'Double Delights' bees. I'm enjoying making this style of card. I've still got a DC Friendship card to do (Alison I haven't forgotten you if you read this) so may use this design again as it's so easy!
This is Squirrel's (PBFC) birthday card. I decided to change the design slightly as I didn't like the side panel on the last card. I mounted the 'Tilda with Bee' image onto Octagon Nestabilities, and coloured her with Promarkers, likewise the bees. The 'grass' is cut from a Martha Stewart Scalloped Dot punch and the bees are Kay Carly stamps from the Stampman (Aspects of Design - Double Delights) I thought these all went well together. Poppicraft flowers, hobbycraft ribbon, free greeting stamp from Papermania and Stickles Diamond glitter glue complete the card.

A 6x6 square birthday card using a Tilda with Flower stamp from Magnolia and paper from the Basic Grey 'Eva' collection. Image mounted on oval Nestabilities as before and paper punched with a Martha Stewart 'Scalloped Dot' border punch. The flower is a hydrangea from Prima. This is the first Tilda stamp I have coloured with markers and I'm pretty pleased with the results.
