Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper May challenge

This is my design card for my Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper May challenge. Please click on the link to the see the lovely designs by the members of my team and we would love to see your entries - all you have to do is make something using some patterned paper.

This card was in response to a commissioned request for a birthday card for a 5 year old footie fan.

Papers are from PDA card and craft - the middle panel is torn at the edges, but difficult to see here.  I used various stickers and 3D elements, including the scarf with the lovely touchy-feeling red felt.

Suzy Bee's bloomin' challenge 128

This is my design card for Suzy Bee's bloomin' challenge 128: anything goes with a twist ... fairyland. Please click on the link to see the lovely crafting of others in the team and we hope you will join in our challenge.

I used an image from Nikki Burnette sheet 2 (Nikki is sponsoring the challenge) - this was a ready coloured image. The frame added over the upper part of the image is from a set of Trimcraft curiosity corner frames. The image was matted on to a piece of gold gilded faux leather that I've had for years and never found a use for it. The orange mirror card was embossed with a folder. Sparkly ribbon, Hobbycraft flowers and Birthday sentiment circle were added.

The camera sometimes plays tricks according to the light because the birthday circle looks silver, whereas it it actually gold to match the gold in other elements.
