Just for you...

Hi
Hope you like this little easel card. I made it using one of the Hobbyhouse wee toppers from Scribble and Scrap. It was a bargain in their current sale. The backing papers and accordion stickers were also from Scribble and Scrap.  I added a bit of stitching in a matching embroidery silk to the backing and the lacy die cut edge - think it's a Tattered Lace die. The butterflies are cut from a printed and glittered vellum sheet that I found in my stash and finally the butterfly corner flourish is from die-namites and I popped a bit of glitter onto the butterflies which doesn't really show in the photo.


I  will be entering this card in the following challenges:-

A little valentine's wish

Hi, I hope you all had a super valentines day with chocolates and cards. Nice excuse to spoil each other isn't it?

It's time to kick off challenge #38 over at Scribble and Scrap. Gosh the weeks fly by don't they?

 I made this card using Gorjuss The Collector stamp set and Gorjuss 8x8 papers that were in the Scribble and Scrap sale. I cut the aperture by hand, deliberately wonky to match the wonky stamped images! I coloured Gorjuss with promarkers and created a shadow effect on the sentiment to give it a bit of dimension.

Clean and simples...

Hi, gosh February already and I'm still sitting with my fingers crossed that Spring is around the corner.

I made this card for my nephew's birthday. He isn't into cars, sport or drinking so I went for a clean and simple card. I used glitter paste with a free stencil from a magazine to create the star panel and mounted it on black card. I have to thank Linda Simpson for the inspiration as she made the pasting technique look so simple in her demos at the NEC last year. So thanks Linda.
The backing card is Papermania card stock and the colour just matched perfectly with the paste. I embossed it using a sheet of silicon baking mesh that I bought from Poundland. I bought it for crafting and have a separate one for my chips LOL!!

Sending a big hug...

Hope you are all snug and warm and haven't been inconvenienced by the snow this week. Suppose it was to be expected after I did a card hailing spring last week. This week I'm just sending you all a big hug!! This card launches the start of Challenge #37 over at Scribble and Scrap and the prize is a lovely selection of floral embellishments. The theme is Anything Goes so please come along and join in.



My card has been made using Lillibet Clear Stamps Embrace from Scribble and Scrap which goes perfectly with the Tonic verso die sentiment of sending a big hug. The embellishments are from Hobby House Floral Boutique Collection and Hobby House Pearls also available at Scribble and Scrap.
