1. Cover a base card in a glittery sheet from a mat stack papers , cut out a little window on one side.

3. Behind the window I stuck a piece of pink bazzill, adding some detail with gel pen round the edges to add a bit of interest.
4. Adhered stamped image using foam pads to the pink mat before finally adding some pink ric rac across the top and bottom of the card. The ric rac goes across the back aswell, to add more interest to the open card.

1. To create the hedgehog card (which is a teeny card) I started by stamping Colin on a walk along a strip of card that was just under a cm longer than the card itself. At the very end of the strip on the right hand side I drew a flower,
mainly to indicate that that’s where it should be pulled from and then in from that stamped ‘Hello’.2. Moving right to left I then stamped the image several times to the end of the strip.
Use gel pens and chalks to colour.3. In order to feed the strip through the card, I measured along from the right hand edge of the card,
the same depth as the word Hello, (to ensure it would be hidden behind the card in the normal position) and made a slit a little larger than the width of the strip. I then stamped the image on the card itself to the right of the slit and an image against the left hand edge as this will be exposed once the strip is pulled. The strip is held in place by a tiny spot of repositionable herma on the back of the left hand side which allows it to be in place in both positions.4. The cloud was drawn free hand and stuck down using foam pads. The sun was again free hand, coloured with water colour pencils and stuck using foam tape which is slightly lower than the pads. The rays were then drawn on the card itself. The greeting is in Susies Hand Font with a bit of doodling round the edge and the sky was chalked ever so slightly with blue chalk.

1. Start off by stamping the bottom edge of a card blank with the Crazy Daisy and Full Bloom stamps, use a mixture of water colour pencils and chalk to give the impression of a hedgerow.
2. Colour the flowers in with watercolour pencils and use blue chalk for the sky, finishing off by inking the top edge in blue.
3. Stamp 4 Patchwork Butterflies onto white shrink plastic and colour wings using watercolour pencils add colour to the body and flowers using gel pens. Cut three of the four butterflies out, shrink in size using a heat gun, shrink the other stamped image.
4. When they had cooled stick them to the card using diamond glaze and draw on the antennae.
5. Stamp the Thanks greeting onto plain white card and cut round using decorative scissors to make it cloud like.
6. Finally stick a length of ribbon to the instead of the card allowing it to dangle, attach the remaining butterfly to the bottom, creating the perfect gift...a bookmark.
