Snowy Cottage

 Hi all
Here is today card

 The cottage  was stamped and embossed on to grey card, I then added the 'snow' using pearl mica which I mixed with water so I could paint with it. I added a frame using SW double pierced squares which I cut out of White Topaz card.

A quick post today as we have just got back from a long weekend in Bournemouth. It was wonderful to have a break and the weather was kind to us.
Back to work tomorrow... 
Thanks  for popping by have a great week.

Easter Bunny

Hi Bloggers

An Easter card for today

I used a freebie stamp to create this card in pinks and green.
I painted the oval frame with mica powders and the bunny was coloured with promarkers. I die cut it using SP dies and mounted it on to a piece of white card that I embossed with CE dottied daisys folder and inked round the edges with green ink. A pink ribbon and pearls complete the card.

I may not be able to visit blogland as often over the coming weeks as I will be working in South Yorkshire.
This is because everyone on our office (about 300 people) are being made redundant due to the location of our offices being moved from Middlesex to South Yorkshire.  Quite a few people have left already which is so sad. My date is early June but until then we need to train the new people on our roles. So I will we going to South Yorkshire to help with the transistion.

On a more positive note I'm off to Ally Pally at the wekend for the craft show - are you going? I am really looking forward to it.

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

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.

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...
