Distressed Birthday

Here's a card I made for my lovely blogging friend Debbie who's birthday is today. I have used a Fizzy Moon stamp colored with Promarkers & Flexmarkers. I added some sparkle to the flowers with distress stickles. The paper is more form the gorgeous Paris pad from MME I have distressed the edges of all the paper with my distressing tool and then gone round all the edges with distress stickles. I have used a bronzey gold colored metal corner and some card candy to embellish the card and the sentiment is a papermania one.

Old Car

Here's a card that I made for an order, I was asked for a card with an old car on. Straight away I thought of this fab digi stamp, Dodge Tourer 1914, from Stamping Dragon Designs which you can get here. I have coloured the car with promarkers and then added a coat of 3d gloss to make the paint work all shiny.

The papers are a free digi download from Digital Diva Designs I have distressed them and then inked them with weathered wood ink. The letters were cut on my cuttlebug out of some of the paper.
