Get Whale Soon

This is a little card I created using DigiSparkle Get Well Soon stamp set.  I popped the black background up on dimensional's so that I could add the raffia and charm.  

I bought my charms from ebay (much cheaper but you have to buy in slightly larger numbers).

Pollycraft Tortoise

This is the second part of Flash Your Freebies over at Pollycraft.  This is one of the cutest freebies I've ever got my hands on. I decided it was a perfect for a male card. My dp is new (think it's Mind's Eye) and a papermania sentiment. Must go, so many jobs to do!

It's for these challenges:
Pollycraft - Pollycraft
Cards for men - Men + 1 image 2 dp 3 embellies (There are 3 gems under the sentiment)
Digi Tuesday - Happy birthday 
Papertake - Cute

A before and after shot!

This is my second post for today but I had to share my distress with you (I very nearly cried when I saw it!)

Well this is the before shot (technically it's the after shot touched up - wish it was this easy to touch up in real life!) This is how my card looked until my 2 year old son got hold of my sponge daubers! And below you can see his 'creativity'!!!!! I found it just after I'd finished telling my dh how pleased I was with this card that had taken me ages to make (mainly as I kept changing my mind about the layout!).  As he sat in the naughty corner my little lad's face just screamed ''What have I done? I only did what you do Mummy! I love you''. It's hard not to melt when they look like that, I didn't melt but I think the rest of the family felt my wrath!

This card uses a freebie Crafty Sentiment digi image, isn't it gorgeous (without the green splodge!)? I used Papermania pink papers, my Leone ash branch punch, my Ek Success flower punches and I added a liquid pearl centre.

Well, before it was destroyed this card was for these challenges:

CAS-tastic - Summer inspiration

Fab'n'Funky - Reuse or recycle (I'm recycling the pink paper as it is actually a paper plane!)

Creative Cottage - Touchy Feely (I love the texture of that pearl and the flowers and leaves)
