Quirky May Flowers follow furry April Showers.

I'm late, can't seem to get anything done on time at the moment. This lovely image is from Ike's Art and is called Greek Window. You could win a $15 voucher to spend on Ike's Art images if you enter the Quirky Challenge and you have until 28th May to play along.

We are also sponsored by Delicious Doodles and Bloobel Stamps and I will be making another card with Bloobel Stamps soon.

I coloured this digi with Promarkers, die cut it with Spellbinders and heat embossed the stamped sentiment. Mum is recovering from a major back operation so I think she needs a little cheering up.

I added some red polka dot chiffon ribbon to finish the card.

I hope you will hop over to Quirky to see the other gorgeous examples and to play along and maybe win a prize.

Challenges entered:

Ike's World - embossing (Tues)

Quirky circling around.

It is Quirky reminder time again, and we have gone round in circles for this challenge, any sort of circles will do - on the project, a circular project, clever circles - whatever you want to play with.!

I have slightly cheated in that I had the card made with the tissue box on it already, and blogged about it being work in progress a while back. Now it is finished, I have added the stamped sentiment and bugs, all die cut in circles. Then I doodled with a paper white pen, one corner got a little messed up, and was not correctable, but hey it will have to do!

Our sponsor is Crackerbox Palace, and the bugs and sentiment are here, and the tissue box here. Of course you can choose to have them as digi images for just $3 by contacting Crackerbox, or winning them! My tissue box was a digi image, and the rest are stamped this time.

I used Get Well Soon... and don't let anyone tell you soup will help, great sentiment I think. I put it in a circle too, and changed the colour to purple to match the card.

I also have another sentiment stamp, which says "hope you are back on your feet soon", I thought about using it inside, but it has vanished from its laminated sheet!

The bird and egg are Crackerbox Palace stamps, which you can get as digi images too. I though this would be a funny new baby card, the bird looks like it is wondering what came out of  it's rear, what could have happened, and there on the floor is the hatching egg it produced!

The sentiment is made from a Kars set, and I added gingham ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and two different ric racs. 

I'm working on another card, but you will have to wait, the stickles are drying and I have to go out for a while.

I have entered the following challenges:

Left of Centre - babies (Fri)

Ghoulish - atishoo!

 I have no idea what I am going to do with this card, maybe keep it for Halloween! The image is from Bugaboo, and is called Slelekinz Baby the words are my own. The card blank is embossed with a Craftwell embossing folder, I tried it out and then put this blank away in a box, so it is a leftover. I coloured the little darling with Promarkers, die cuts are all using Spellbinders and the pink panel, with gold and spotty paper, and the ribbon is one that I made up and then didn't use and it has been hanging about as a left over in my spare die cuts box until now.

This card is a work in progress, I am road testing some Crackerbox Palace digi images, just waiting for some sentiments to go with the tissue box. I got the idea of the tissue coming out of the box from the Crackerbox Palace blog, it was a Vicky make. I printed the digi out twice, plain card and spotty paper then cut them out and put them together to make it stronger, I only needed to print it once, stick it onto the card and cut round (sometimes I make extra work for myself lol). I kept the background plain, at least so far.
