Polka Doddles Challenge Wk 20 & Stampin' Chic 'Be-Chic' Challenge

I thought I'd let my creative juices run a little wild and try something new for the Polka Doddles Challenge and Stampin' Chic Challenge and came up with this card! I've used Making Memories Emery Papers and Bazzill Bling Cardstock together with my lovely hello kitty die and dressed her accordingly lol. I've then used a nice funky bright orange and finished the card off with Clare Curd's Signature Stamps (the pressies) and 'just for you' stamp. I've never used ribbon tabs like this before and i think it's turned out to be a nice, bright card which this also triples up as a birthday card for my cousin Kirsty too!! I love it when a plan comes together (LOL) xx

I had a tidy up of my crafty stash and came up with this!

As the above tells you, I've had a good tidy and found some stamps that i haven't used in ages! Also papers that i had forgotten about too!! I think greens and pinks goes quite well together as it turned out really nice with the white ribbon and gems, not forgetting the flowers and brads so I'm going to be using this as a birthday card for my niece come November. Not forgetting using die-cut swirls and gorjuss girl stamp! xx
