This is my first attempt at a sky using the old Copics,what do you think? I think it looks like this little girlie is sat on top of a mountain,up in the clouds,she should be chatting to goats instead of a humming bird. I picked up this lovely image as a 24hr facebook freebie on New year's eve,she's called Wonder by Mo Manning,isn't she just fabulous.
At long last I found a
pattern for crochet flowers,I'd searched and asked all over the place but when visiting the amazing blog of
Dorcas,I found a link.The pearly button looks scratched but it's a tiny thread of silicone glue that I hadn't noticed until seeing it large,don't you just hate it when that happens!
Thought I'd share a close up of the buttons,I threaded them onto embroidery silk then taped the threads to the back of the card. My lovely papers were a little purchase last week,they have a linen look and are V&A Hanoverian 8x8 paper pack.
I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
CC42,Copics plus new,31.1.11,
JUG's69,Make your own flowers,11.2.11,
There's also a fun challenge going on at
Make It Crafty where you have to give a definition for Aussie slang sayings,here's mine
You little ripper, the name given to the paper crafting technique of paper tearing.
Crikey,the nick name for cutting machine also known as a Cricut.
Ridgie Didge,alternative name for a ribbler,machine that makes multiple ridges in paper.
Bob's your uncle,My mum's elder brother who moved to Queensland in the 60s.
Good Onya,the twin sister of naughty Sonia.
Hoping you have a great weekend,

I love the stepped card,I found the instructions here, I just altered them a little to suit my design.

I've had one of those days today where I couldn't colour for a toffee,I usually have no trouble colouring teddy bears but today it took forever,I'm still not 100% happy with the shading..... 
I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
I layered up my red papers ending up with a red mirror card frame on foam pop dots. A lovely striped ribbon bow and a stamped sentiment
I thought that this week,instead of adding an image I'd make some simple felt flowers. They are so easy to make,just a rough circle of red felt cut into a spiral in the same way that you make the rolled paper flowers,finished with some stitches through and cut flat on the back to glue to the card. Aren't they scrummie!
I hope that you enter the "Red,red,red" challenge,
Today's card was made to answer a last minute plea for a card for my youngest to give a friend who looks remarkably like the lovely Kellita by Tickled Pink.
I made the flower as in this card added a tiny flat backed pearl and used copics to colour the image.

The cute bride and groom digi stamp is by Digital Delights who are one of this challenge sponsors,I enjoyed colouring this one up using my Copics.
I used Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder on my scalloped frame,cut using Nestabilities and used the Snowflake embossing folder to emboss my punched flowers.
This gives a good effect,you just have to try out different flakes to see which works best with the flower shape. I used some dot stickers from Paperchase for my flower centres.
I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
I used Scalloped Nestie circles and Revolution Nesting circles to create the central focal spot,adding dimention with pop dots and silicone glue. It doesn't show up very well but I also added a second layer to the hair ribbons.
