Crafty Sentiments New Release Previews, Day Four

Good morning people we must stop meeting like this lol It's day four of the Crafty Sentiments Christmas In July Previews and today we are showcasing 'Dressing The Tree', this is another of the adorable image's you could win (see day one's post for details).

Have you ever started one of those projects that you wish you hadn't? Well this was mine, it seemed like a good idea to begin with but oh no how time consuming was it.  
I decided it would be a good idea to glitter the baubles on the tree to match the bauble ribbon but not having all the colours in stickles I used sprinkle glitter and wet glue but didn't think about having to wait for each colour to dry before the next colour could be glittered grrrrr, I said oh how silly of me!!!! So stickles is definitely the way to go with this type of project, time to buy some more I think.


Supplies:-

6" Square Card Blank - Craft Superstore
Cardstock - Doublemates
Designer Papers - DCWV but really old and the top cover is missing
Medium - Promarkers

I dug out some really old papers for this card and cut the poinsettia's on my Circut and adding gold stickles to the centres. Whilst cutting my border die I placed it upside down on my cardstock so the edge you see is actually the waste edge but I thought it looked ok so left it lol.

Sunny Days Where Not Here For Sure

Good afternoon people, we were supposed to have hot sunny weather today but instead it is really dull and overcast which is a shame as it is British Armed Forces Day and all the young cadets are marching on the green opposite my house.
Anyhow, I decided to join in with some challenges and hope that the weather changes to the sunny days of my card.
I started my card following the challenge at Bitten By The Bug 2 which was to use the 'Sunny Days' cut from Celebrate The Flourish, I have not played along before because I thought you needed the actual cut chosen but you don't you can make your own from what you have which is what I have done.
