2 Sisters Challenge - Anything Goes

It is my sisters birthday at the beginning of June and my brother in law asked if I would make a card for him to give her.  I decided to go with a Lilac colour theme as that is one of her most favourite colours.  I have followed the sketch at Stamp and Sketch, the papers are Bearlymine all have been mounted onto silver mirri card.  The central image is an Elusive image stamp which I used to use a lot and felt it would be perfect for this card.  I stamped the image three times with Versafine Onyx Black then coloured with Copics.  I used one image as the base then cut the others up to layer the flowers I used silicone glue to pop them up.  I mounted added flower lace down the centre then a wide cream lace topped by ribbon across the centre.

I added some flowers, butterflies punched in mirri card then used my Pinflair Multi hand punch to punch out the little stars that I have used as gems, finally I added a computer generated sentiment. 

This last picture I took at an angle so you could see the layered flowers and leaves.

I have taken the advice of my blogging friend Shirley aka Nannieflash and treated myself to a curved keyboard which is attached to my laptop, I am trying to get used top the keys as some of them are in a different place but I am hoping that this will help the pain and swelling in my hands.  Thank you Shirley for the tip I don't know why I didn't think of it before, lol.

I hope to see you all later hugs to all.

Our sponsor this week is

and here is my DT card

I decided to use one of my Tilda stamps that has never been inked before, I have coloured her with Copics, I added a few clear gems to the bubbles on her surf board.  I also used a LOTV postcard stamp and a clear sentiment stamp.  The digi elements of my card are the blue base backing paper which looks like the waves of the sea and is from Crafty Ann's Digi Shop, also from Crafty Ann's Digi Shop is the beach scene which I reduced to a stamp size, coloured with Copics and mounted onto red card, I embossed the die cuts with my swiss dots folder, I added some other embellishments to make this look like a lovely sunny holiday scene, the paper in the centre that is the colour of sand is from Bearlymine. I used silicone glue to raise the postcard, Tilda and the sun in the top right hand corner. Finally I added some ribbon and a bow.

Here is a close up picture of Tilda.

I decided to use Tilda and the Magnolia cake stamps, I also went for a pink and brown colour theme. I stamped Tilda and the cakes, coloured them with Copics and cut them out.

I used a mixture of papers, added lace, seam binding ribbon, flowers, I also used my Multi Cut Blossom Punch for the doily (if you like the look of this watch out for my followers candy in June), I also stamped and added a mini 'It's Your Day' sentiment and finally added some gems.
