Having not faired so well with the brayer at a recent class, I used sponges to create this merged, hazy effect - just quietly... I love it!

Robots...
For the first time in many moons, I am ready to post off my wonderful nephews and niece's birthday pressies - important dates which all fall over the next couple of months.
After some serious blog hopping and idea-pilfering, I produced the following two cards for the boys...
Sir M's card features an SU 'bot, layered onto a fantastic technique I picked up from blogger Allison Ohran. Simply emboss a design on card stock (here I used SU Lots of Bots bolts) then covering with tin foil, run the piece through the Cuttlebug and, voila! A great metallic watermark effect!
These cute little guys are from Maya Road and have been coloured in with brush markers, accented with a little Kindy Glitz for good measure!

Pinafore...
Ooooh! I took this idea from a local craft shop and am so pleased I was able to memorise the basic layout as to take a photo in store was a BIG no-no!
Using My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary paper matched with some trusty Bazill, this easel card is a pretty alternative to the usual 'Congrats on your new baby' card.
Made with love for a new princess in the world (welcome Miss Emily Grace xx) I spiced some of the punched flowers with SU Dazzling Diamonds and some diamond gems. The ribbon is SU Old Olive.

Princess Pippa's Party...
My youngest princess turned 5 last month and having spent two of her few birthdays travelling, it was time to give her something special for a wonderful party with her preschool friends!
Using Bazill Bling, the beautifully simple Heartsong from Dream Street Papers and the gorgeous Palace stamp from Kaszazz, I created a party collection for the party poppet.

Flower Fairy...
I've taken the sweet treat cup to a different level and cosied a little fairy in for a birthday girl!
Inside reads...
"Open me and take me out,
And we can play together,
I'll bring you sunshine everyday,
No matter what the weather"!
