I saw this Iris Folded card on Pinterest and just had to have a go.

Nine Piece Birthday Card.

The reason I have called this Nine piece is maybe obvious, it is because there is nine spellbinder square cutouts on the front.

The main card is centura pearl with layering of purple shimmer card.

The oval is a precut one which I coloured with my Spectrum Noir pens

I cut out another oval from centura pearl and added a little distress ink.

The best wishes is cut from the purple shimmer card and I finished with some paper flowers and leaves.

Birthday Stepper

This stepper card is made of ivory centura pearl card, with purple shimmer card layers.

The flower in the middle is colored with Faber Castel pencils with a brad in the centre.

I cut embellishments out of the ivory centura pearl card and finished with a ribbon bow and  candy buttons.

Clare's Challenge...Pastel Colors and include a Circle.

Clare's Challenge was again made using the Hunky Dory Christmas Bumper Pack.

I again folded an A4 Scene in half, then I cut the front panel in half.

The part I cut off I then stuck to the inside matching it up to the front.

My topper is from the same pack.

I used velvet ric rac ribbon and stuck gems along it.

The sentiment I backed and stuck to the edge of the topper.

Lorraine's Challenge...A Christmas Scene.

This is Lorraine.s Challenge...A Christmas Scene.

My card is made from The Hunky Dory bumper Christmas pack from last year and this year combined..

The topper was backed with black card and over the image I stuck snow flake acetate.

I finished with a sentiment.

My Challenge..Baubles

Here at last is my card for my challenge.

I used glittery card to make the front panel. I cut out and embossed the bauble, colouring the embossing folder with distress ink.

I used thin black ribbon to make the lines and finished with a double bow, gems and a sentiment.
