I feel really guilty. (No you don't!) I've eaten all my Chocolate Cookies... and only made one card! But I'm hoping it will do for two challenges. Firstly it was made for the Midnight Madness Weekly Challenge #24 which is a sketch, although I have added a few more bits, I hate having too much 'open space' on a card. And secondly for Sophisticat Challenge #8 No sketch, but a colour combi of pink and brown plus flowers! Well, I think this covers that! 
There's more flowers on the little envelope and the tiny card too!
There's more flowers on the little envelope and the tiny card too!Once again, I'm not happy with the way this new camera takes photo's. It hates getting too close to the card even though it has an auto imaging thingy that can detect blinking eyes and smiley faces. probably why it's rubbish at taking pictures of cards! (I do ask them to smile!)
The lighter coloured card was taken outside...obviously, as I don't have bushes growing in my living room! (So you say...) And the orangey picture was taken two minutes later in my craft room. The craft room picture bein
g closer to the real colours I think.
I've used my (new) 'My Minds Eye' papers, and an image from a forum swap. Even though it's only on paper, I've managed to 3D her little bonnet. I've coloured her with ProMakers and Copic pens. The little envelope is just pink Copic scribbled over paper and then punched out with an Envelope and Embossing Woodware punch and the same with the pink paper, the sentiment is typed on. (It's one way to get te colours to match!) The freebie font is called AdineKirnberg-S. You can download AdineKirnberg-Regular HERE and the AdineKirnberg-Script HERE. While you're there check out the C
oca Cola type font too!
I've made this card for a friend's birthday, and because her birthday's sooo close to Halloween I usually do something really scary ...I guess I could squash a big hairy spider inside! (oops, sorry Charlotte!)
(Update...I changed my mind, I've now sent this card to Eloise instead! One that didn't need a spider!) and tis one has gone to my sister-in-law
