These cards were made using my

There is a free download sheet at the end of this post.

They are much brighter than they look in the photograph,
London is quite cloudy right now,
so the images are little bit 'grey'.
Oh roll on summer!


The 'Thinking of You' sentiment is
a Paula Pascual stamp - 'Big Sentiments'
I love Paula's stamps!
Stamped using VersaFine Onyx Black.


The  'Thank You' sentiment is my design.
I'll be loading the sheet for this later in the week.

Butterfly Decoupage Card

OK humour me.
I'm really enjoying digital drawing at the moment.
This is a card I've made from a 'Butterflies & Dragonflies'
decoupage paper I've just designed.

CLICK ON IMAGES FOR A CLOSER VIEW

I've designed a whole set including backing papers,
ribbon boarders and sentiments tags.


I'm just putting the finishing touches to the sheets and
will be posting them through the week.

Hope you'll have fun with them

If you haven't discovered Curt's wonderful blog yet
 it's a must go visit!
He is sooo talented and has the best sense of humour.
Have a look at his latest cards, they're fabulous (as always)
and he's used a quote and chocolate from my last download sheets.
You would think they were made for his card!

Chocolate Themed Cards

Here are a couple of cards I made using the sheets
in my previous 'chocolate' posts.
CLICK ON IMAGES FOR A CLOSER VIEW
 With this card I simply printed off the decoupage sheet.
Cut out the chocolates and decoupaged them on top
using 3mm foam pads.
The message is from the same sheet - cut out
and glued into the centre of the card.

 I printed the decoupage sheet twice, once onto beige card stock
this is the base, and again onto ivory card stock - the layered
chocolates and message.

For this card I used the 'Chocolates', 'Chocolate Bar Alphabet'
sheets & striped backing paper.
I stamped a flourish over the backing paper.

 I cut out the large heart and decoupaged the small heart on
top using 3mm foam pads.
I dotted the centre with 'Rainbow Antraciet' & 'Brown' glitter.

I've only just discovered this glitter and I love it.
It's Kars glitter which I bought from cardcraft-uk
There are some fabulous colours and the sparkle is subtle.
Great for adding texture without the full on glitz.
Just a note - the bottle has a fine nozzle which I removed,
it's not necessary and  it prevents you from returning the
surplus glitter to the bottle.

Thank you for taking the time to visit.

Great links to all things chocolate:
- fab quotes, jokes and information.
- quotes, recipes & lots more.
- from the 'QI' TV gang, amazing facts about chocolate.
- lots more fun facts

We all know too much of anything is bad for you.
Did you know that 22lb (40 bars of Dairy Milk)
is the lethal dose for human beings?!

Ending on a more positive note:
Chocolate is rich in anti-oxidants, which reduces
the risk of heart disease and cancer and it doesn't
cause acne.

Thanks for popping by and make sure you don't 
eat more than 39 bars of Dairy Milk in one go.
