Crafty Calendar March Challenge - All Dressed Up Little Patch Puppy Card

Good morning, it is the first Saturday in March and we have a new challenge for you over at Crafty Calendar.  The theme this month is Buttons or Bows and for my card I decided to go with both.

Three of the flowers are buttons and I added a bow on the sentiment.


For my card I have used:
Little Patch Puppy from All Dressed Up coloured with copics.
The background is part of the Patchwork digital paper pack from DigitalPrintzGB over on Etsy.
I got my sewing machine out and have stitched the paper to the card all around the edge.   I tried to match the zig zag stitching around the edge to the zig zag design on the paper.
I added three buttons as flower heads and a bow to the sentiment banner.

Sizzix True Love Colorize Valentine's Card

 Good morning.  I have a card to share that I made for Martyn for Valentine's day so have had to wait until today to post it.


For this card I have used:
The box of chocolates is the Sizzix True Love Colorize die designed by Tim Holtz (666290).
Background is the Sizzix 3-d embossing folder - Confetti Hearts (663201),  Embossed on black kraft cardstock and then sanded so that the kraft foundation is visible.


I also had a go at making a box of handmade chocolates to go with the card.
