Purple Snowflakes!!

Hi Everyone
Well what terrible weather we have been having we have a wonderful puddle (more like a lake)  outside our house that nearly goes right across the whole road. I hope everyone is ok out there and has not been affective too much by the rain.
Anyway on to todays card

 A combination of old and new on this card.
I have used one of Phil Martin Scribbled Snowflake verses for the focal element of this card. His sentiments are wonderful (note to self to add more of Phil's stamps to my wish list ) lol.
I still love the Elegant Labels four die from SB.
The snowflakes are from SW Bold Snowflake which are heat embossed with CS Brilliant Sparkles Frosty Dawn and Vivid Violet powders, with a pearl in each centre.
I think the colours are wonderful. I hope you can see the sparkle in the photos!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Christmas Greetings

Morning All

 I was really pleased with the way this card turned out (even my husband likes it!!)
I started by spreading silver glitter paste from Glitzcraft  through a snowflake mask on to acetate.
I left it overnight to dry and then mounted it on to some Foundation Sky Blue card from CE. I stamped Phil Martins Scribble Snowflake around the corners ( its in his verses set) and embossed with Silver Shine powder. I used SW double pierced square dies to frame it.
On the opposite corners I cut SW bold Snowflake in Coconut white and Sky blue card

The sentiment is from TL which I cut twice and glued one on top of the other then heat embossed with clear ink to give it a lovely shine.

Altenew Parchment Flowers

Hi Bloggers

Here is todays card
I have combined the Altenew Stamp Beautiful Day with parchment.

I stamped the outline image and heat embossed it with CE detailed white embossing powder. I then embossed the flowers and coloured them with a combination of peach/orange inks. Once dry I fussy cut each flower.
The back ground is from two of SW embossing folders which is mounted on to a piece of white card that I put Graceful Peach gilding wax on from Phil Martin.

The stamped sentiment is from the Altenew set.
I finished it off with a black ribbon bow from my stash.

Glittered flowers

Hi fellow crafters.

 A slightly more bolder card for me in the colour ways.
I have had a paper pad that I just love (one of those you just cannot bear to use) but the time has come that I have to start using some of these as I have so many LOL. It has some lovely colours and the flowers are glittered. I used orange, peach and brown card to complement the colours in the background

I have combined it with Sue Wilson complete camellia die and Laurel leaves and  Phil Martin's stamp from his blossom square which I then framed with a piece of brown card with a circle aperture.
The sentiment is from my stash.

I hope you like todays offering.
I am just recovering from an operation on my leg so I am catching up on all the crafty shows I have recorded.

Happy Easter

Hi All

I hope you all had a good weekend.

I had a lovely day at the Farnborough craft show on Friday and bought more supplies. Pic at the end of this blog.

For today's card I decided to go with an Easter theme.

 I stamped the Regal Blossom Outer frame  from Creative Expressions and  coloured the flowers in with my colouring pencils

 I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the inner die from the Heraldic Square from Sue Wilson.
I cut the largest die from Spellbinders Floral Assortment out of the green card and used the aperture to mount my focal element on. I used a self adhesive sheet on the back and sprinkled it with glitter from my stash, so it just peaks out from behind the stamp.

 The butterfly I made from a Spellbinders die which a snipped into to make look like a butterfly. I added the Graceful Peach gilding  wax to it from Phil Martin.
I then finished the card with a Glue pearl dot in each corner and on the butterfly.

 More supplies added to my ever growing crafty stash.
