50th Anniversary

Hi all
I was asked to make this card for a friend.

I knew I wanted to use my newly purchased All Occasion embossing folder, so I started with that. I added the frame in vintage gold card using SW double pierced square dies.The Tied Together embossing folder is another one of my favorites so I added that to the back of the frame.

The sentiment I created on my computer and added the 50 from Phil Martin's from the heart collection and used one of my old SP dies to cut it out and added the heart die so it wraps around the sentiment.

I completeed the card using CS PVA glue dots.

Have a good week every one.

Butterfly Wedding

Hi Bloggers

 I was asked to create a card for a friend's wedding.
I really liked the way it turned out.

 I used Sue Wilson butterflies in flight cut 4 times for the background out of soft pearl card. This was matted on to milk card.
For the focal element I used the heart die set from Paper Artist,  I just love this die set, I inked the sentiment while still in the die with Tim Holtz Antique Linen distress ink.
The card was completed with Sue's Camellia flowers,  and a cream bow topped off with my handmade dazzler.

Mothers Day

Hi all

Sorry I have not posted for a while life has been hectic...

I have being making some Mother's day cards as it will soon be here.




I have use one of my favourite colours peach.

For the background I inked through a mask on white card with peach ink and mounted it on the peach card.
I used the dies from Paper Artist called 'love and 5 hearts', a wonderful set of dies that I cannot seem to put down at the minute.
I stamped my sentiment with Versamark ink  and used Phil Martins Graceful peach lustre embossing powder.
I coloured some white satin ribbon with the peach ink so it created a tone on tone with the rest of the card.I finished it off by adding a dazzler that I made to the bow.

I hope you like it.
