Lighthouse Porthole

Hi All

I made this card for my daughter's boyfriend.  His birthday is tomorrow.

 I dug out my old Kanban stamps and decided on this light house on,  along with some  papers found in my crafty stash.
I created a water colour effect using Tim Holtz distress inks with weathered wood and salty ocean and then I stamped the image over the top.
I created the 'port hole' effect by using two of my SB circle dies in dark blue card.
The sentiment is from CE cut out with a Justrite die.

Thanks for stopping by.

50th Birthday

Hi all
Here is a card I made for my husbands 50th birthday which was on Friday.

 
 I used a combination of  cardstock  from my stash and parchment using the Groovi system.
The sentiment I created on my computer and cut out with Justrite die vintage labels three and backed in brown card die cut with the
 botanical swirls die.

A brown ribbon hides the join between both the different colours and brown candi completes the card

This was his birthday cake we had a fantastic day -we went to one of our daughters for a BBQ with the rest of the family.

Spirelli mask

Hi bloggers

 I started this card with the background I used light blue foundations card and used the Stamps Away Spirelli mask and spread CE Polar White texture paste through it. Once dry I mounted a piece of white card over the top out of which I had cut SW Noble die- Ornate Pierced Design I mounted this on to light blue card.

 The stamp I used is CE Regal Blossom inner frame which co-ordinates with the Heraldic die and the sentiment is from John Lockwood's Daisy set. I heat embossed with CS silver detail embossing powder.

 The flowers are die cut from Heartfelt Creations and  I inked through  the die and then I added glue and sprinkled CS  Glacier ice and and finished with a handmade bow.
This was all mounted onto white card which is embossed with CE quilted flower folder.

Thanks for popping by.

Green butterfly

Hi all
A quick post today as I am feeling under the weather, I hope it doesn't turn into anything worse.

I had a great day at Ally Pally yesterday meeting the creative expressions team they are great people and the samples were wonderful.  I also bought the Groovi starter kit  from Clarity - I just hope I will be able to do it!!!

On to today's card green for my Mum as it was her favourite colour, who sadly passed away 13 years ago.

 For the background I've inked through the floral mask with a distress ink  then embossed with the CE star swirls classic adorned noble die in green and backed it with white, which I glittered with ice snow.
The happy birthday was from a mask and I used Glitzcraft silver embossing paste through it and cut it out with a Justrite die and inked through with distress ink.
For the finishing touches I used a Spellbinders butterfly which I gilded too and some CE ribbon finished off with my own hand made dazzler.

Have a great week and thanks for visiting.

Beautiful Birthday

Morning Bloggers.

Here is my offering for today.

 I started by inking my polka dot mask with perfect medium which I layed on a piece of white card and ran it through my embossing machine.
I then peeled the mask off the card a sprinkled with pink mica powder on top of the perfect medium which I heat embossed.
I then matted this onto a piece of pink card.
I made a white frame and stamped randomly on it with some butterfly stamps from Kanban in pink and the leaves are from Justrite stamps. I then matted this onto the mica embossed background.
I then cut 4 of the Eltham corners from tattered lace out of pearlised white card and placed them in each corner.

 I stamped the sentiment from Justrite  Enjoy the Day set and cut it out with the matching Vintage labels 4 die. This I mounted on to a piece of pink card which was stamped and  embossed in white from the same stamp set.
I then added butterflies from Spellbinders and added pearls to the body.
The flowers are from Heartfelt Creations sun kissed fleur stamp and die set. I stamp them in pink on white card which I heat embossed and finished with CS Iced Candy twinkles  which I used for the dots all around the card.

Thank you for popping by.
