Hi!! To this week I made a step card. I used the beautiful Mz Emolie - Flapper,  provided by our sponsor,

 I used a rosette, flowers, a butterfly and many crystals. 

Cazzy

First I must apologise for the post going out late, this is entirely my fault - I accidentally left the post open while I worked on my late card. I must also apologise to our Guest Designers - got totally muddled adding their makes and attributed Geesje's card to Jennifer and missed Jennifer's out completely - so sorry ladies!
I love Ike's cats as you know, and I used Cushion Kitty and gave her a crown, so she could be queen for a day (or king for a day) using Coronet. I die cut my rosette. I added Liquid Pearls and Stickles glitter glue to the coronet, and image is coloured with ProMarkers.
