1 card 2 challenges

I've managed to complete 2 challenges with this card.
The first on Cute Card Thursday was quite simple - make a Valentine's card. On the Lilli of the Valley challenge we were given a sketch to work to.


I've embossed the front of the card with D'vine swirls from Cuttlebug and covered the join with a piece of card with my sentiment and a ribbon attached.

The flowers are Primas with seed beads in the centres and the images are from an unmounted set of stamps bought very cheaply sometime last year but not used before.

The ribbon is spotted organza from Ribbon Oasis and the sentiment is a stamp from Hampton Arts.

Flowers

A quick and easy card again. This time I used a topper and Spring colours both from Flower soft. This was layered onto peach card and then white cardstock to make an A5 sized card. Prima flowers and brads were scattered around the bottom corner.



I've not got anything in mind for this one yet so may save it for a Mother's day card. I seem to have a thing for flowers at the moment as well as ribbons.
