Caught in Crystal

Hi Bloggers
How are you all today
My Christmas shopping is all done and wrapped (yeah!!)

Very near to Christmas now , but as it was my daughter's birthday at the weekend I thought I would share this card with you.

I had some caught in crystal that I made a while ago and thought I would use it as it was made from some of my daughters favourite colours.

Using a mixture of Spellbinders and Sue Wilson dies with Ivory and purple colour card.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by
 and Merry Christmas to you all

For my Daughter

Hi all

 I made this card for my daughters birthday, which was last Friday.

I can't believe she was 27 - where does the time go....
I started with the caught in crystal technique using alcohol inks on to acetate and adding Glamour dust to give it some sparkle. I'm not sure how well this comes through in the pictures.
I created a frame for this using SW oval frames from her festive collection ( the let it snow and the lattice snowflake die)

 

 I mounted this on to some white card stock which I had embossed with a mask and ink through to make it pop a little more.
I then added layers of teal and white card cut from SW double pierced square dies.
The sentiment is computer generated. I then added SW complete Camellia flowers to complete the card.

Thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy your week.

I have entered this card in the following challenges:
sparkle n sprinkle ~ oct challenge
BSCB ~ challenge 221 -anything goes

Christmas Tree

Good Morning All

I hope you are all having a good weekend.

I did some retail therapy with my daughter yesterday, it was very nice spending some time with her.

Its a Christmas card for today, with many of the shops having there Christmas gifts out  already and we haven't even had Halloween yet!

Todays card is made from the Tattered Lace Sparkle die.

 

For the background I did my favourite caught in crystal technique but this time I added glitter to the alcohol inks of blue, teal and green.

















I hope you can see the glitter in the photos













This was then matted onto teal and then white card and finished off with craftworks cards candi in each corner and ribbon from my crafty stash.

  

 

 

I do appreciate all you comments and if you only pass through I hope my cards inspire you.
Have a great Sunday xxx

 

Peeking Snowflake

Good Morning everyone

Another Christmas card or two I'm afraid - I hope you don't mind too much

They are both very similar so I have decided to post them both lol....

This time I have used Sue Wilson Peeking Snowflake die.

I have teamed it up with the caught in crystal technique which I love doing. I added Creative Expressions pearl moon mica powder along with the alcohol inks.

The first one is made using the Aqua foundations card.

 It may be hard to see the mica powder showing through but in real life it picks up the light and looks lovely.

And this card is using the Wisteria cardstock

Let me know if you have a favourite...
