here is my card which I will be giving to one of  my yummy mummy friends on Saturday..as you can see she has turned 40 and the card will contain a collection from the other yummy mummy friends..

I have fallen head over heels in love with The greetings farm Anya and Ian and got this image is a download which worked out at £2.10 and was with me instantly.  The only problem I had with this image is that my printer ink didn't like the sansador fluid and I had to be SOOOOO careful otherwise it turned into a big black mess ( as my previous three attempts are testiment to !)

Here is the Recipe...

Cardstock : Basic Grey - Oh Baby Girl

Ribbon, FlatBacked Pearls, Doodlebug Buttons

Coloured in with Prisma Colours

Well as I have been housebound again here today by the snow ( it has just started to sleet so I reckon it will be gone in no time) I decided to make the most of the time I had " free" and go for it on the cardmaking !

http://pollycraftchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/challenge-8-love.html

and as it is sponsored by Pollycraft I thought I would have a nosey around her blog and her stamps...I love them. Anyway she had a free upload showing on her blog so I thought I would give the challenge a go with one of her stamps - even if it was free ( Thanks I really appreciate it)

Here is my card...

I have decoupaged the wings and tail as I think it gives the image a bit of depth, I have to be honest I love it, those birds are so cute...

Ribbon from Stash

Swarovski Crystals and a coloured in using Prisma Colours with a touch of glitter Gelly Roll on the wings..
