two cards lol

first card is a mo manning image, coloured with  promarkers, it was left in my card box for a few days as i didnt really know what else to do with it, a subject on trimcraft came up on how to use flowers, im a big fan of flowers but have no arrangement skills despite looking at loads of other peoples projects and being sooo jealous its untrue, so going on the easy route i opted for the three in a corner option, gems added after the pic was taken .
i have now decided that all cards unless made for a specific challenge as in say thanks and such will be left with noo greeting untill i know who and for what purpose it will be given lol

the second card is was for kims challenge on trimcraft, theme was a stamped image,

the stamp i used is a crafty pad stamp called belinda shopping,

again coloured with promarkers some touches with a clear glitter pen and the bags have been embossed to give a shiny look using a watermark pen and clear gloss embossing powder.

out came the flowers again, this time cream ones sprayed with purple violet cosmic shimmer mist,

how could i forget that stuff stains your skin, went into work with blue tipped fingers as i firstly prayed my mat and dipped the flowers into it but i wasnt happy with the effect, so i used my brain and actually sprayed the flowers instead. i love how each one has come out different shades.

both cards have been backed with a paper from a dcwv pad but i cant remember what it was called,
my son reckons the backing is old fashioned, what do you think lol
he said for once i have created lovely cards apart from the backing.
well im off to have a play with my alcahol inks or maybe my cuttlebug cant decide just yet,
