Couple of random flowery cards

Just a couple of cards I made today with flowers on.

This first one is for F4A123 to use up some scraps (all my leafy vines are from scraps of card) and for ColourQ Challenge #143 to use these colours. I was struggling at first with these colours, but then found inspiration in my dies drawer with this leafy vine border.

And here's my card.

My next card is for SC391 for the sketch and CC381 to use Indigo Island, Pool Party and Whisper White. I pulled out an old SU set that I haven't used in a long while for this one.

Punched Cards

Just a couple of cards using punches that I made today.

This first one is for Stampin' Royalty's Challenge #130 which was to use their inspiration picture and I took the cupcakes from it. This is also for Papertake Weekly's Sketch Challenge #69 and Play Date Café's Challenge #138 to use these colours.

And here's my card.

My next card is for Mojo Monday's Challenge #247 for the sketch and Friday Mashup's Challenge #65 to use punches and/or your favourite animal (my favourite animal is a cat, but my punched attempts looked awful so I went with the owl punch instead). This is also for SUO Challenge #48 and Cupcake Crafts Challenge #198 both of which wanted you to use birds.

Ooh just thought I could add a quick piccy of my swaps for the SU training event I'm going to tomorrow run by the lovely Monica Gale and Bekka Prideux. The theme is Christmas in July, which I don't do as my birthday is first, then new school year, then Hallowe'en and then I can finally think about Christmas! My swaps were very quick and simple as I needed to do 30 of them and, as usual, left them to the last minute! I've had these blank tags for absolutely ages and have never used (have about 100 lying about), so I thought Christmas tags would be perfect!

And here's the pile of 30 - don't they all look pretty together.
