For this challenge we've been sponsored by Limited Run Digis and The Stamping Boutique.  I've made my card using a digi from The Stamping Boutique called 'Flower Cart' - if you look carefully, there is a butterfly on the image and I've also added a bow made with narrow sheer riboon.  The paper I've used is from a magazine give away book and the little circular sentiment from Craftwork Cards.

Happy First Birthday!

I've made this card today for my cousin's little boy who will be 1 in a couple of weeks - I've used a digi-stamp called 'Louie and Present' from DigiStamp Boutique.  

The sentiment is part of the 'Save the Date' set from Little Claire - you get the circle and the numbers separately so you can personalise the greeting.  The buttons are also from Little Claire - from 'Georgina's Buttons and Stitching Set' - much flatter than using real buttons and great for cards going through the post!  The paper is from Craft Creations.

And now (are you sitting down?!) a card from November 2006 made with a Visible Image stamp:

Create & Craft 4 Day Deal - Fairyland, Part 2

Today I'm sharing some more of the sample cards I've made for the new 'Fairyland' CD rom which is the current Four Day Deal on Create and Craft.

The images on there are beautiful and there's so much detail in them - you see something new every time you look at them.

My first card (above) is another pyramage card but this made in to an easel card.  I've used the matching backing paper plus some sparkly paper round the main image.

Next an invertage card using this super cute image of the mouse and the hedgehog - aren't they sweet?  I used some red holographic paper round the main image and some of the backing paper which matches the image.

I then used the little mouse on his own to create my own pyramage card - the backing paper was generated with the design and I've added green holographic card plus some of the chain link peel offs which also feature in the show.

Finally, for this card I made a 'window' using one of the graphics in the image generator part f the CD rom and then cut out the inside of the window and added acetate.  I left the shutters so that they can be folded away from the card as if they're opening.  Once again I used some silver paper and some of the chain link border peel offs.

I'd like to enter my cards in the following challenges:

Crafty Blogger's Network - 'anything goes'
ATCs and Cards With Attitude - 'anything goes'
