A couple of teenage cards

The Allsorts challenge this week is for teenager cards, and it falls at just the right time as one of Meg's friends and a friend's son both have a birthday this week. Thought I would include them both.

 The first features a Mo Manning Digi coloured with promarkers and the papers are a free download from Canon creative park. The sentiment is from Creative Expressions. The second card is for one of Meg's friends who has loved pink and girly  for as long as I can remember!

This one used the same sentiment, punched flowers and a stamp from Sugar Nellie called 'Searching', again coloured with promarkers. The papers were a freebie from Tinker and Co.
You will have to forgive me if I don't reach blogland much this week. Steve's Mum is in hospital so we are visiting regularly. This is only her second ever stay in hospital in all her 86 years, and she is finding it very stressful. I've also got parent's evening on Monday and Wednesday after school. No rest for the wicked, eh? 

Allsorts Challenge - inspired by a garden or park

When I got back from holiday I decided to treat myself to a couple of cute stamps from Sugar Nellie. I saw this one used on a card in a recent challenge and instantly fell in love with it. It's called Searching by Kathy Hare. I'd stamped it in Versafine sepia and watercoloured the image with distress inks. When I saw the Allsorts challenge this morning I thought it would be perfect! Their sponsors this week are one stop cardcrafts. I teamed it up with some very old papers from my stash - a Bitty Scrap pad called windswept from provocraft. I just love the blues and greens on this pad. they go so well with the distress ink colours.

My easel card was finished with punched flowers, some rainbow drops (Crafty Notions) die cut flourishes (Marianne designs) and some sticky ribbon.
Thanks for looking, and have a great weekend!
