That Craft Place Challenge - Flowers

Time for another TCP challenge.
 
This time its nice and easy......
 
 
I have two totally different projects to show you. 
 
First my card
 
 
 
This is a magnolia stamp and the papers are all Gorguss Girl.  The flowers are made from a spellbinders die and decorated with Stampendous frantage embossing enamels and fragments.  I will be sharing a tutorial later in the week on how I did this over on the Inspiration Blog
 
 
Second is a cake!!
 
 
Although I must say that my OH Graham made these roses!!  We work together to make cakes.  This was a 50th Wedding Anniverasry cake for some friends of my mum's. 
 
Don't forget to see what other amazing creations the DT girls have made.  There is a real mixture of projects on the challenge blog.
 
Look forward to seeing what you create!

Scrapper's Delights midweek reminder and inspiration.

Have you entered the "S is for......." challenge over on the Scrapper's Delights yet??

If not WHY NOT!!!

Today is the day that team A get to do a midway reminder and further inspiration post.
After using Hero Boy last week, it was only right to use Hero Girl today.


Isn't she adorable?


I love the pink and black together!


I coloured this with my Copics and Graph'it pens.  The stars were cut using an x cut die and everything was glued down with pinflair glue to give it some dimension.

For a limited time you can get this little beauty for $1.50 from the Whimsy store !!  

Now you have no excuse not to enter the challenge!!
