Why oh why....

Did I think it would be a good idea to make a card in black and yellow?  I really don't like this at all, what was I thinking?????

Tilda was from a swap, circles cut from nesties, rest is from my stash.

As promised.....

These were made the same to save time as I had a few birthdays in August and I had to get packing sorted for our hols and get all the house cleaned.  The flower was done with Sizzix Bigz Daisies #2....used it on my cuttlebug, and as I type this I'm trying to remember what the sandwich recipe was that I used.  I'll have to make another one to find out, lol.  Swiss dot embossing folder on the backing card, and black card candy for the middle of the flowers. Craftwork Cards sentiments with scalloped nestie circles behind them.  Ribbon and sticky gems from stash.

The image below is a Hanglar Stanglar that was part of an image swap, and was my first attempt at using copics.  Card was edged using colorbox fluid chalk, papers are Basic Grey 6x6 'Bittersweet' pad 'Brittle' and 'Begian'. Belgian was also used for the photo corners,  flowers from stash, but very sure they're prima ones

This was also part of he same image swap that included Hanglar Stanglar.  This was a RAK sent nearly 2 weeks ago and as far as I know still hasn't been received.  Copics used again, card was edged with Colorbox Fluid Chalk,  papers from Basic Grey 6x6 'Two Scoops' pad 'Watermelon Ice' and 'Blueberry Custard'.  Sticky gems from stash.

I used an old magnolia sketch for this one. I was trying to use autumn colours on  this, but have just noticed I forgot to put the leaves on...duh!  Tilda coloured with copics and promarkers, flowers and paper from stash, other card is from DCWV mat stack 'Neutrals' .  Scalloped circle (nesties) was run through cuttlebug 'Victoria' embossing folder. Sentiment as before.

I really like this image, can you tell? lol.  This should have been opened today by my friend Karen, it's her 30th birthday and she had her party last Saturday at Billesley Manor Hotel in Alcester.  Party with a difference....no dancing.  She had a Vegas theme night and had people in to do roulette and blackjack tables.  The guests were given £300 each, (not real of course) to gamble with and at the end of the night who ever had the most money won a prize.  We left before the end so I gave my money to Karen's husband.

Paper is by Rico Design, image coloured with copics, lilac card run through the bug using swiss dots folder, ribbon, sticky gems and flowers from stash.  Card candy was coloured with copic pen as I didn't have the right colour.
