Sketch Saturday Challenge

I have done 2 cards for this weeks Sketch Saturday challenge. One is for one of my best buddies first wedding anniversary and the other for my Christmas box. For this one I have used the Doodlebug flower stamps, I have stamped them, water coloured them, cut them out and then using silicone glue have raised them onto the sewn stems. I have also sewn along the edges of the image and then randomly added pale pink gems onto the stitching for a different effect. The paper is Doodlebug limeade boutique stripe and this has also been stitched all the way around. The greeting was hand written........oh OK not really it was printed off the computer. Oh and before I forget, I have obviously also added some glitter for good measure! This card was made using a Whipper Snapper "NOEL" stamp, I have water coloured the image and then added glitter to the dots. I have free hand doodled around the edge of the image, card and tabs and finally added a couple of gems. I have also got glitter dots along the back black panel.
