First card
For this one, I die cut the doily (MFT die won over at Jay Gee's Nook - thanks Judith) and stamped the PB Hedgie. I then stamped again on the scrap bits from the die and coloured and cut out. Added mini pop dots to the middle and glue round the edges to give dimension to the Hedgie. All colouring done with Distress inks and a water pen. I added the panel to a white embossed background before adding to the card base. The coloured piece behind the sentiment was coloured with Evergreen Bough distress ink to match what I coloured on the circle. I added the daisy button ( cutting off the shank) and added the other button in the corner to balance the card,

This used the smaller of the two MFT dies that I won. Again I did decoupage with the Hedgie. My background was some home made watercoloured paper with Hero Arts Envelope pattern stamped. This was in my scrap pile. Added some distressing. Also added the ribbon and some faux stitching. The little sentiment is from Hot of The Press, from a little set called Ticket.

I really was on a roll yesterday as I got half the room tidied, these two made and the butterfly card. Thank goodness I like CAS (relatively anyway) cards. They don't take that long to do!
This morning we had Brunch with our son and his girlfriend at the Catalina Cafe in Hobsonville. A really nice place about half way between their place and ours. So just going to potter about this afternoon... maybe another card or two... plus that dreaded ironing to do!
Take care
Dawn
