Why waste not - want not? Well, I put together this image from MCS for The CD Sunday challenge - 'Girl Power'. Unfortunately - I wasn't paying attention too much to the size and it printed out way too big for the card I was intending to do - so after resizing and printing it again I decided to use the original image on a larger card.
So - the top card is 6 x 6 and the bottom card is A5. Two cards in one day. That's going some for me. The background on the top card was inspired by a recent card of Brenda's - a swirl stamped randomly over the card and the edges inked with worn lipstick distress ink. The paper is from Funky Fairies distressing vines collection and the border up the side is cut from a Cuttlebug border die. The sentiment is a stamp given to me by my lovely friend Jane - which I have used on both cards.
The second card - using the larger image has a bp from the Papercraft Factory CD and a piece of silver mirri card - coloured with alcohol inks and put through a Cuttlebug embossing folder.
Thank you for taking the time to visit today.

Well done on 2 cards in 1 day, both lovely. The mirri looks good with the alcohol ink. I have had a couple of bottles for a year or so and not even opened them. Not sure if they work without that blending solution??? I like the distress ink and stamped background very much.
What fabulous cards Beryl,I love the swirly backgrounds you have used,and the sentiment is great.Thank you so much for sharing these with us at CD Sunday.xxx

SASSSY!!!!! Loving it!! love her dress...I want it!! and those black swirls are so stylish!!!!! Hugs Juls
Lovely card - the image and the sentiment make this a really fun card!
Beryl, I must be well behaved, because I've never made history! LOL! I see you do have a Cuttlebug and I want to know the name of that black border on the first card so I can find it. It is gorgeous on there and you did a wonderful coloring job on both cards. I like the light stamping of the flourishes on the first card. You always seem to know just the right way to put it together in a pleasing, artistic manner!
Oh these are fab Beryl.
luv

That's always been my mum's favourite saying Beryl, Lol. I'm glad you decided to use the larger image too though as both these cards are great. I love the flourishes, in fact, I've just realised I have the background one on your first card. I love the colours on that one too.
Hugs
