Life is better on two wheels!

I had a mad scramble this morning, as I looked through  my stash of 'male' cards and found nothing suitable for my BIL's birthday at the end of this week.
He's into motorbikes, infact, at this every moment he and my SIL are travelling around Europe on their bike,
Bingo!  I found this bike image over at Bird's Cards. Have you been over there? Not only does Bird make  amazing cards, but she also generously shares her digital images and lots of other goodies.

This was a very quick and easy card to make - once I had layered the paper and card, I coloured the image with Copics. The star was cut with my slice machine - which also cuts a 'shadow' star. Great for layering.

Then I added the sentiment to the centre of the star, the spotted ribbon and the adhesive pearls.

I would like to enter the following challenges...
Stamptacular Sunday - 'Grid'

Cupcake Craft - 'Transport'

Spoon Full Of Sugar - Anything Goes'

Digital Stamp from Bird's Cards
Design Paper - Daisy & Dandelion 'A Winter's Tale'
Star cut with Slice machine - 'Parties' Design Card
Sentiment - Craftwork Cards
Black adhesive pearls and ribbon from my stash

Mum's the word !

This week's Stamptacular challenge is a card for Mum.

As Mother's Day has been and gone here in the UK,

I made this for my Mum's birthday, in a couple of weeks time.

She doesn't like fussy, so I tried to hold back on the embellies -

that was tough...lol**
and I used her fav. colours.

Recipe: Stamp is WOJ Spring Collection,
coloured with whispers pens.
Swirls are Sizzix Dies.
Design Paper is Papermania - Nostalgia Warm.

Pearl brads are Papermania,
and blooms and ribbon are from my stash.

Charmed I'm Sure

This is the challenge over at Stamptacular.
You can create any project, as long as it contains
a stamp and a charm.
Have a look at the cute DT work,
they have lots of different ideas.

I've been noticing these pretty charms on cards
for a while now,

but I don't have any and haven't seen them for sale.
Now come on girls, don't keep them all to yourselves,
if you know of an online UK shop
that sells them please let me know.
:-)

For my charm I improvised...lol*
I used a butterfly bead, a bit of wire and some beads,
left over from a jewellery making set.
The pretty paper is from K & Co, Simply Sweet
and the stamp is Magnolia - Sweetheart Tilda,
coloured with whispers pens.
