Good Luck! London Marathon challenge

March is not only St Patrick's day , its also the London Marathon here in the UK, so i chose to create a good luck card as my Dt project.

Here I've used Male runner from the work and play collection 12 an dive coloured up with alcohol markers, the design paper is from Vintage Candy paper pack and i stamped over the banner flags using a stamp from Birds together clear stamp set.

The team challenge set was to keep the main project green, here I've used lots of different shades of green.

Wishing everyone that is  running lots of luck, and a happy St Patrick's  day to all for next week.

Secret Surprise - REVEAL card marry me? LEAP YEAR!

 Stuck for as an idea how to reveal something as a surprise? I have coloured  up the CUPID DIGI STAMP using Copic markers and created this surprise reveal card, the deign papers you can find HERE

I was inspired by it being " Leap year" and thought its the time the ladies can ask there partner the question and thought it would be a fun way by doing a reveal card! you can purchase the die is designed by Wendy Poole, its not as hard as it may appear to create such a fun card..

Another fun way would be to create a gender reveal card , what a fun way to reveal the news at your baby shower party?..

anyway back to creating, have a fun week all you crafters and see you again soon. Nelly X
