Creative Cowgirls Challenge #6 - Valentine Day Cards

This week over on the Creative Cowgirls Challenge we have the theme of Valentine Day Cards.

The Posse were lucky enough to receive an image from our sponsor Roberta at Prairie Fairy Designs.  My image was Roopid and I really enjoyed making this card I got to colour the image, cut out the circles on my Craftrobo and punch out the hearts and stickle the edges of everything.  The sentiment is mine.  All the card was from stash, dewdrops and stickles were purchased from Craft Den, small heart punches were purchased form Ideal World many years ago and the bigger hearts were embossed form my CC Ultimate board.

The sponsor this week is Prairie Fairy Designs

Here is my card (sorry it's a bit grotty but the light isn't very good).

I have used the cute image of Gillian, singing her heart out, which was provided by Roberta at Prairie Fairy.  Hop over and check out the other images there are plenty to suit every taste.

I have coloured her with purple and green Promarkers and used papers printed from a CC Cute Companions CD backed with silver mirror card.  The snowflakes were punched with my Martha Stewart punch and little green gems placed in the middle (you will have to use your imagination for this but it looks better in real life). The snow is Star Dust Stickles.

Cowgirl Sunday Stamp'en Challenge - Flowers Galore using 3DP & 3 different flowers

This week at Cowgirl's Sunday Stamp'en Challenge we are asking you to use

3 DPs and 3 different types of flower.  

I decided to make a cupcake card this week as I have my CraftROBO back and I wanted to play.  I made the template myself and I really like the shape.  My image is from The Town Scrapper and the name is "Made with Love Lola" (hence the cupcake card) she is coloured with Copics and Promarkers.  My 3 DPs are from The Creative Cottage, who have a new store.  My 3 different flowers are punched from the papers, a rose I opened slightly and a charm.  The frame for Lola was cut with a large Nellie oval die.  All the edges were shaded with distessed inks.
