My Top 5 of 2012

Hello again peeps..

 

I just came across Debby's blog, asking for us to post our top 5 cards of 2012.

 

Here are mine

 

I love the green and purple on this card. And the layout worked out quite well too..

 

 

 

This was my first Teddy Bo image. And I love this colour combo.

 

 

My First SC image. I love this one. Green my fav colour too.

 

 

 

I love this card with the black cardstock that make the image and papers stand out more.

 

 

 

 

I really enjoyed making this card, practising with my distress inks. And I think the flower arrangement worked well on this one too.

 

Hope you like them

i used papers from Dovecraft and From me to You.. Flowers and pearls for WOC

Sentiment printed from computer.

Ribbon from Crafty Ribbons

 

 

I printed some photos from my computer and stamped a small tatty teddy bear for the inside. I coloured Tatty Teddy with promarkers.
