Mechanical Card

I'm rather excited about this card as it's my first attempt at a mechanical card - and it works! You pull on the ribbons to rock the horse. Really simple but good fun for a 2 year old (I hope).

I've followed the instructions and used the template in this month's Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine. Some lovely ideas in there. I've coloured the horse using Promarkers - cocoa, sandstone, cinnamon, caramel, warm grey 3 and cool grey 2.

The papers are from the 'Linen Closet' stack and I've stamped the name using SeeDees alphabet stamps. I've distressed all the papers (perhaps too much!) using brown courdroy distressing ink.

Baby Girl Card

I've used the template from this week's Friday Sketchers challenge in this card.

The stamp is 'Willow with Baby' from Whiff of Joy and I've used Promarkers (Blossom, Ivory, Satin and Blush) to colour. I've used papers from Pink Petticoat and colour the two plain pink sheets using Promarkers.

I've punched the flowers myself, adding Stickles (icicle) and gems. I've also used pink ribbon and will add the baby's name when she's born!
