Freebie backing papers

Good afternoon everyone and what a cruddy afternoon it is.
Lord only knows what happened to our glorious sunshine but who ever took it please give it back *bats eyelashes*
I thought for a while Spring had finally arrived but now it is dull and dreary, pouring down with rain and COLD.
I can't believe I have had to put the heating back on.
First time in several years i've had to have it on in May.
Oh will, we must all plod on I suppose.

Today I have for you 4 backing papers. Hope they are of use to someone.
Yes you may use them in cards and crafts you sell :)

Panda Sparkle

Howdy all,

Long time no post lol
Been so busy trying to sort out what crafting items I have and of course I have some more goodies via hubster and the postman ;)
I have a card I have created for the All Sorts - Add some sparkle challenge
Finished by the skin of my teeth but at least I made it just in time LOL

Will be back to edit this post after I add it to the challenge or i'll miss it. BRB

Phew *wipes brow* Got it added with 32 minutes to spare.
Cut that a bit close LOL

Ok I have used...
Marianne Creatables Double Frame LR0141 (still my favourite so far, it's so versatile), Butterflies LR0158, craft planet holographic glitter glue, gems and an adorable stamp set that was down to £1 in Hobbycraft called Parker by Helz Cuppleditch and of course my trusty poundland pencils.
I am finding that I really love colouring with pencils and I do think it is getting slightly better but of course I am biased seeing as how I coloured it LOL

Really basic card but a good one to have in the drawer for emergencies :)

Best friends forever using my new dies

Evening again.
For all those in the UK I hope you have had an enjoyable Bank Holiday.
We had some amazing weather here the last few days and I think this has got to be the first May Day Bnk holiday in a few years that it hasn't poured with rain.
The Hubster took me to Hobbycraft on Saturday and spoilt me.
I have some spanky new dies by Marianne Designs and LOVE them.
I am even more in love with my cuttlebug now. Not sure how I lived without it LOL
For this card the Marianne Designs dies I have used are...
Floral 3 LR0107
Ribbon Flower 3 - LR0110
Corners 1 LR0143
Ribbon 2 LR0102
and last but not least
Double Frame LR0141 ( Love this one most at the moment )

I edged the frame and card blank with a whispers pink Ink pad.

I added some glitter glue to the corners and a gem to each.

Paper is a freebie from this month Quick cards magazine

Threaded some pink ribbon through the Ribbon 2 die and then used sticky pads to assemble it.
The stamps I have used are Penny black - Strolling, The fairy mouse is from Hot diggity dog and the sentiment from Apple Of my eye by Jayne Nestorenko.
I have also added some faux stitching around the stamps.

Thank you for looking.

I am entering this into the following...

Penny Black and more - Sew Special
All Sorts - 205 Add some sparkle
Marriane Design Divas - Going girly
Pan Pastel - Fairyland
Penny Black Saturday - Anything goes
