Two bright cards

A couple of really bright cards from me today. I coloured the images last night and made the cards this afternoon. I had forgotten that a friend had given me this cute Penny Black image so it's the first time I have used it. I followed the sketch at Sketch and Stash. I love this MS border punch which I bought at the Ally Pally show. I have used it a couple of times but both times the image almost covered it so this sketch was a good chance to show it off. I also used my new glossy accents on the top of the umbrella and I couldn't resist adding an umbrella charm.

Sophisticat want a card for a child and Fussy and Fancy a birthday card with a sweet treat so this new digi image from Pollycraft is perfect for a boy's card with a difference. Papers are K&Co Hopscotch. I couldn't get the MS zigzag border punch at Ally Pally and they seem to be sold out in most places. Luckily I found one at The Glitter Pot where a couple of other yummy goodies popped into my basket ready for my next candy.

Hi Marianne, Gorgeous cards! I love red and white together and the cute PB teddy looks so sweet. The Pollycraft image is fab and the papers are great (I can't believe you have cut into them already lol!)

I have just sent you an email about the MS zig zag punch but see you have already got it.
