Tulip Jungle at PBSC DT

Good morning everyone, 
It's the first Saturday of April which means a brand new challenge over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge.
The theme this month is ....

Anything Goes

(Option : Pastel Colours)

I've used a wooden Penny Black stamp called 'Tulip Jungle'.

I've coloured him with copics and promarkers. The background papers are from Nit Wits and Make and Create. I've used a Creative Expressions peony die, a Hunkydory Moonstone scalloped dots nesting die, Spellbinders Grand circle die and sentiment tags from Lili of the Valley.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

Allsorts Challenge - Springtime

Simon Says Stamp - Happy Birthday

As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Embellishment (I love die cut flowers- cutting them in different papers to match your project or keeping them white to tone too much colour)

The Happy Couple

Good Morning Everyone, 

I've been asked to be GDT over at Allsorts Challenge this week. The theme is ...

Embossing : Dry or Wet

(Option - Anything Goes)

I've used a lovely digital stamp from Lili of the Valley for my card. This is 'The Happy Couple'.

I've coloured them with promarkers and copics and added lots of liquid pearls to her dress. I'm not very good at 'wet' embossing so I've used a very pretty embossing folder from crafts Too to create my background. I've used Creative Expressions peony dies with pearls for the centres.

The sponsor for this challenge is the fabulous Lisa Horton, a rambling woodgrain rose embossing folder and co-ordinating stencil.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
