A bit more like it!

Hello blogworld

Ah yes, lots of surprise at twice in two days (now, now I know the way your minds are going and we will stop that right now, please) - post and cards that is.

This time I'm here for The Cutie Pies and the challenge this week is 'Borders and Frames'.  Our sponsor is the absolute cuteness that is Pink Gem Designs.  The DT were allowed to pick images for this challenge and I finally settled on this cutie.

I have to admit to scratching my head a bit (though nowhere near as much as for my last card) over this one and this is what I ended up with - a shaker card.  My goodness, I can't remember the last time I made a shaker card, Emily was fascinated!!

Ah, and a deliberate mistake here - you might notice.  Frame - tick; border, oh dear I am such a numpty - no border.


Front shot:


Trying to get the glitter on the wings:

Arty farty side shot (yes I finally remembered this shot!):

I used:
Image:
Pink Gem - Faye with Flowers
coloured with my Promarkers and Flexmarkers

Papers:
My Mind's Eye: miss caroline - all dolled up

Wot, no dies! 
(I think I must be ill!)

Anything else?
Frame from an ancient sheet of chipboard stickers
Flowers - fabric from stash, resin from My Crafty Heart
Beads from my stuff

So there we go - if you can think of a more creative way to use a frame and border pop over to The Cutie Pies, have a look at my Teamies creations and then join in!

Cheerio for now,
Sarah

This is fab Sarah I haven't made a shaker in forever either! I am so not in the crafty zone right now at all! I think having a break and keeping the kids entertained too is running off with my mojo!

Fabulous card Sarah, love the shaker frame. Cute image too, love her sparkly wings.
I am slowly getting back into a routine, kiddies are back at school, so I just have Maya left in the house now, thought it would be easier, but she is missing her sparring buddy Alex! Lol so we will see how it goes!
