Christening cards



Ive been having a play around with some lovely stamps i received a while ago, i did not quite know what to create with them until i got asked to make a Christening card off a lady who bought off me in 2006 on Ebay. I was really pleased so these two are what ive done. Ive added some buttons to the left side and gold feet on the ribbon of the top one after i photographed them.

DCM hide & seek

Thought id get my crafty stash out and have a go at the challenge over at the daring cardmakers, have not done any cards for a while. The challenge is to make a card and have a secret tucked away , i came up with this one. The card comes out from behind the beautiful vase with flowers, i used some of my December S A kit paper.
