I have used a paper from a paper pad by Louise Tiler called Floral Fantasy.  The image comes from Digi Darla and coloured with copic markers.  The sentiment comes from Sans Design.  The lacy circle has been cut from a strip of lacy meshy ribbon.

I have used a spotted paper from MME for the background to this card.  The matting is blue metallic paper.  The image comes from Sandi Huggett and is one of the images supplied for The Outlawz CFC challenge.  I have added a sentiment from Sans Designs and some blue pearls.

I have used a soft paper from MME as the background for this card.  The image is from Anne Fenton as part of The Outlaws CFC Challenge.  I have coloured the frog with my copic markers.  I know I used G000, G14 and G17 but beyond that I'm not entirely sure.

I have kept this card fairly much CAS.  The image that I have used comes from Meljens Designs.  It has been coloured with copics, die-cut with a Spellbinders Labels die and edged with a red copic marker.  I drew a circle using dotted lines and a copic marker on the card blank.  I used a red satin ribbon, some white ribbon flowers coloured with a copic marker and some red pearls.

Totally Papercrafts - Flowers and Lace
http://totallypapercrafts.blogspot.co.nz/2013/04/challenge-164-flowers-and-lace.html

I have used some more of the papers that my Mum bought for me.  I used these on another card last week.  I have also added some lacy mesh that I bought on my travels yesterday.  We stopped for a break and cup of coffee/hot chocolate.  On the way to the cafe we passed a craft shop.  I wasn't going to go in as I thought it would be all quilting, patchwork, knitting type items.  I'm glad I did as I found some bling and also this lacy mesh that was reasonably priced.  Of course, I couldn't just buy it in one colour when it was so reasonable could I?  I have a couple of metres of four different colours so I'm sure it will make another appearance soon!

The image that I have used comes from Bugaboo Stamps and is one that I hadn't had the opportunity to use.  Colouring is with copic markers and matting is black cardstock.  I have added a copic coloured ribbon flower as an embellishment.

Newsprint

I possibly stretched the challenge for a couple of these a little but hope it still counts!

The card is for the following challenges:
A Day for Daisies - Newsprint

QKR Stampede - Favourite Things (CAS)

Outlawz CAS - Tree
http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/sundayscleanandsimplecas/forum/topics/cas-challenge-april-28th

The card uses a background paper from MME which I think resembles newsprint.  Not quite newsprint but I hope it still counts!  The image is from A Day for Daisies.

The Outlawz challenge is trees - I've only got the branch!!

I'm away from home for another few days and starting to run out of choices in the images that I brought with me.  Trying to make do with what I have got doesn't always work!  Still it is making me think outside the box a little.
