Heartfelt Wishes

It’s my niece’s birthday shortly and this sweet little image, You Are On My Mind, from Tiddly Inks made for the perfect card.

I’ve teamed her with some Steampunk Fantasy 2 papers from Bearly Mine Designs and also followed a sketch from their challenge blog.  This week’s challenge at Through the Purple Haze is Bingo and I chose ribbon, three papers and pearls.  As I’ve got Steampunk elements and it is a girly card I’m also entering this at Left of Center’s current challenge.

…But I Drifted

Today’s card features the beautiful Snow White from the Steampunk Fairy Tales and Myths collection at Simply B Stamps.

To make up my card I followed the sketch over at Mojo Monday, I just changed it up a bit by making this into an easel card.  I used a burlap flower to replace the circle element in the sketch and fussy cut around the image before adhering it to the burlap flower.

The current theme at Through the Purple Haze’s challenge is butterflies and flowers but I didn’t want this card to be too girly as it’s going to a not very girly friend of mine.  So I’ve gone for more of my favourite metal embellies and darker colours in my ribbon choices.  Butterflies are also the current theme at Stampin’ for the Weekend so I’m also going to enter it into their challenge.
