Best Wishes

Hi all

I hope you all had a great weekend. 
 I am going to the Make It show in Farnborough on Friday, so I'm looking forward to picking up some crafty goodies and hopefully a bargain or two.

Here is todays offering

 I started with the PVA glue in silver, pink and purple and used the scribble technique on a piece of coconut white card from Creative Expressions. I created  a frame from some purple card from my stash. I used the Tattered Lace Kew border to die to go around the frame and mounted this on to a piece of pearlised baby pink card

 The flower I created from Spellbinders Cinch and Go dies which I inked with Tattered Rose distress ink. For the foliage I used a die from my stash (not sure what it is called) I inked through the die with Shaded Lilac Distress ink.  I then  I snipped into the die cut  it as its quite large to create a variety of smaller leaves.

 The sentiment was cut out with another Tattered Lace die from the Eltham range and backed with the pink pearl card.
I finished it off with pearls in each corner and created another mat  made using Tim Holtz piercing ruler.

Thanks for popping by.

Hi fellow crafters

Here is the card I made for my youngest daughters birthday in December.

Like most girls both of mine love shopping..

I've used a Creative Expressions stamp and coloured it with Promarkers and cut it out with one of  the Spellbinders Majestic Labels 25 diee.
For the background I used a mask and inked through it with my Versamark ink pad and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.
I finished the card by adding the pearl PVA dots round the border, along with the bow.

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.

On Your Engagement

Hi All

Todays card is one I did for a friend at work.

I die cut some baby pink pearlescent card with one of Sue Wilson Noble dies and embossed the frame rather than die cutting it.  I used one of the CE embossing folders on the white card for the background.
 Around the sentiment I added some punched flowers with the aurora twinkle and candy twinkles in the centre of each flower and I mounted it on to a  die from tattered lace (can't remember the name)

I finished by adding some flat back pearls to each of the corners.

Thanks for popping by xx

Peach and Mica

Hi all

A Happy New Year to you all.

 A card made from my ever growing box of left over pieces.
I am sure we all have one of these boxes because as crafters we just cannot bear to throw anything away lol..

 The background is made from a piece of white card that I covered with  an adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing off and placed my mask over the top. I dusted a selection of mica powders through the mask. I then gently peeled the mask off and added glitter the rest of the exposed adhesive.
I made a frame to go over the background and used a flourish stamp on the opposite corners of the frame with a peach ink.
The sentiment is one I printed from my computer and the dies where ones I had already cut. I think they are a combination of Tattered Lace and Sue Wilson.

A peach bow, flowers and pearls finish the card.

I hope you like it.

Wisteria Birthday

Morning all

For today's card I have used the Heraldic Die from Sue Wilson again.

For the background I cut four of the smallest decorative die and mounted them on to coconut white card. 

I cut the largest die and inked through with CE colour cloud ink in frosty heather.

I sprayed another of the decorative dies with glue and sprinkled CS diamond sprinkles over the top and mounted it on to the larger die.

The sentiment is from Justrite stamps and die cut with Sue Wilson pierced flags and inked through with the same colour.

The flower I made from Sue's camellia complete petals from white card which I inked  with the frosty Heather. 

I cut two of the laurel leaves out of wisteria card to pop behind the flower.

The frame I made from Sue's ornate pierced square dies and added a thin wisteria mat before placing all of this on to my 6x6 card.

 I finished  it off by adding some pearls to each of the corners. 

A Gold Christmas

Hello all

A quick post today as its been a hectic week.

A gold and cream card for today offering.
 I put some Sand glitter paste from Glitz Craft through the snowflake mask onto soft shimmering gold card.
I created a frame from Sue Wilson's noble collection.
I popped the cream poinsettia ribbon flower in the corner and topped this with a homemade 'dazzler'.
I did this by using my glue gun and creating a dot ( you can make this any size you want) and then while it was still hot I poured some mica flakes - Tarnished bronze over the top.
It only take a minute or so  to cool down. I usually make a few of these you can use glitter as an alternative.
