Totally Papercrafts - Friday Challenge #107 - My favourite Things.

I was asked to make a card for a friend's girlfriend and thought why not combine it with a challenge so here it is.  Totally Papercrafts challenge this Friday is called My Favourite Things and my most favourite crafting things ever (apart from my hubby who never moans at the amount I spend!) are my Penny Black stamps and my love of making cards which are a little different.  I love this stamp 'Duckling', it's so easy to colour and lends itself to decoupage too. I used Promarkers again and glossy accents on the decoupaged feet and bill.  I've mounted it on a Spellbinders die - Parisian Motifs.

The dp is from a set I got from DCWV.  This is an easel card set on a four drawer box which is covered with matching DCWV papers.  I used a border punch to decorate the base.  I thought my friend could put some little surprise pressies in the drawers!!

Go Bananas!

I had so much fun making this 8inch square card at the weekend for my daughter's birthday today.  She's 23 but loves monkeys so I thought this image and sentiment from a set of Inky Antics stamps would be just the job!  He's coloured with Promarkers and glittered.  She is also a big fan of orange too.  I distressed all the edges and inked them with Wild Honey distress ink.  The monkey border and the flower were cut on my Cricut.  I made the flower from palm leaves!  The bananas are cut freehand.  The dp is from Basic Grey.

I'd like to enter this into several challenges just because I really like it!!  I'm glad it's staying in the family, you know, I sometimes hate having to part with my cards, they're like children!! lol  Are you like me, I stand them on the sideboard before they get sent so that I can see them, lol - (Or am I just dotty - you decide?!!)
