Anything goes at Crafty sentiments

Good morning lovelies! How are you today? I hope you are well and standing up to the cold - its been perishing here - but bright and blue so thats always nice - had a great run yesterday morning - bracing - but definitely blew the cobwebs away!

Today I've got a card to share with you that I've made for the crafty sentiments design team - the challenge over there this week is anything goes and don't forget they're having an awesome die as the prize. Full details here. Here's my card:

This one uses a stamp called angel that you can get her here. She's a joy to colour - one of my fave Crafty Sentiments Images for sure! I've coloured her with promarkers and cut her out using a spellbinders die. The paper is from papermania and the ribbon from Creative Expressions. The flowers are WOC.

Today I've got two sewing themed cards to share with you - the first features the Makey Bakey mice from Crafters Companion - I just love this image particularly - had to have it!

The embossing folders are also from crafters companion - the A4 patchwork folder and the 8x8 buttons folder both from the everyday range. The diecuts on the front are from spellbinders and the one on the side is sizzix. The mice were coloured with promarkers.
