I didn't get round to posting the card I made yesterday so I've posted it with today's card. The challenge at Funky Fairies this week was to use circles and buttons. For the circles there is the penny farthing stamp - a new one from Xelacrafts and the circles/swirls stamp in the background which is a U Mount stamp. It's the first time I've used Cosmic Shimmer powders to do a background and found there's a good result on the dark brown base card. The spotty paper is from Funky Fairies and the piece behind it is left over from my attempts to colour paper with coffee. I painted the paper with coffee and sprinkled with salt - as they do with Starburst stains. I don't know if I'll be able to part with the button. It's the only one like it in a selection of buttons bought from Silly Monkeys recently.The second card is for Cute Daisy May's challenge this week - Spring colours and flowers. I had intended it to be brighter than this but as it went together I realised it was more green than yellow - but here it is anyway. I think there's a trend emerging at the moment with me for punched flowers and a Cuttlebugged swirl for the stem. Again, the backing papers are from Funky Fairy. Daisy May has been coloured with a mix of Inktense pencils and Pastel pencils.
Thanks very much for visiting.

That penny farthing card is fantastic - I love the background you have done for it and I agree with you about the button - I would have found it almost impossible to use it!!!

Beryl these two cards are awesome I love them both your designs are absolutely fab. I love those swirls with the flowers on and that Penny Farthing bike is great. If I was asked to chose which one I liked the best I couldn't because I love them both.

Hi there, two wonderful cards. I just love the papers on the first one, they look fab and are so creative. I've never heard of using coffee and salt before, but it looks so effective I will have to check it out.

Love that bike image and the rectangular button highlights the circles of the wheels! Great idea.

Beryl, these are both stunning cards. I love all the handmade backgrounds on the bicycle card. The mica powder works so well as a background, I shall have to try that.
