Good morning and a very happy Tuesday. Here's my first card for our fun new Mother's Day challenge.

I know for sure my mum will spot that it's missing lol.

Inspired by my mum and her love of freesias, I created this art journal page to celebrate Mother's Day.

  I used Distress Inks to create the bokeh effect background and to colour the pretty freesias
which were die cut using a Sizzix Thinlits set. To see how it all came together,
please pop over to my blog Let's Art Journal. Hugs Jo x

Sarascloset

What's not to love with all the different techniques and products used to create all the sparkly and shiny snow for that cute Snarkly cat to play in - perfect!

Welcoming in the New Year with all those glittery stars and embossed numbers made me smile! I love the way the stars were layered together and backed with black card for maximum sparkle and shine!

Vee

 The sparkle and shine as the mirror card and gilt catches the light on this card looks amazing and matches the wizard image and magic birthday wording perfectly.

 Finally my Special Mention goes to:

Marie Frayer

There is so much sparkle from the holographic card and combined with the shine from the Shimmer card panels and embossed penguin it turned out beautifully!
