Birthday Wishes

Hi bloggers!   I started this card with the background.  I lined up a piece of Old Rose card on top of a piece of Powder Pink card.  I used the middle layer die from the Wildflower Triple layer dies and randomly cut it out all over the card, making sure that the two colours kept lined up each time.  Next I removed the Old Rose card and re cut the same flowers with the top layer of the Wildflower, then glued the two together so they matched up and added a white backing piece behind.    I used the Double Stitched Squares and made a multi layered frame using a wider white base and a thinner Powder pink on top.  I attached it over the background with mounting foam.  I cut a Pierced Flag die out of white card then added the Belated Birthday Wishes sentiment, but I nipped away the Belated part of it.  I made three Wildflowers using a white top piece, powder pink for the middle and Old Rose for the base.  I added them to the side of the sentiment flag and embellished with white leaves.  The card was completed with white, Powder pink and Old Rose mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x  7 3/4" in size.  All for now.

On Your Special Day

Hello there my crafty friends!  I thought I would share a special occasion card with you today!  I started with a piece of coconut white card and very lightly stencil clouds on to the background.  I just hand cut a random scallopy cloud shape out of card and used Tumbled Glass distress ink to stencil around it.  Next I cut the Wedding Gazebo out of Silver Shine card (it looks white but you can see it a bit better in the close ups!)  I dded it to the bottom left of the card.  Next I used the Spring Foliage die and cut several out of Khaki card and added some powder pink flowers to it.  I glued it from the left top side of the card.  I cut the Wedding Couple in both white and black and used the black die cut as a drop shadow.  I added them with foam into the lower right corner.  I cut the On Your Special Day out of silver mirror card and glued it across the gazebo.  The card was completed with white on white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Thanks

Good Sunday morning all!  Here is another instalment of my alcohol ink on silver sparkle card play day! I made a couple of these as I thought they were so fun and pretty! I used the Raspberry and Sunshine Yellow alcohol inks on the new Ranger Silver Sparkle alcohol ink card.   I cut the Alice die into one of them and saved the fall away pieces.  I cut the Alice die again out of coconut white card.  I cut away two strips of the die and glued them to another piece of white card.  I paper pieced the fall away pieces into the squares and the glued the two strips to the edge of a piece of white card.  I cut the Rebecca die white and added it to the centre with foam.  I used the Double Stitched Ovals and cut a thin frame out of the alcohol inked card and added it with foam to the centre of the Rebecca die.  I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with the Pierced Flag die.  I added the next size up and a flag mat to it and tucked it under the edge of the oval frame.  I added three small flowers cut from the Blossom Patch set.  The card was completed with white on white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Merry & Bright

Hello crafters!  I thought it was about time to start sharing a few Christmas cards with you!  I started with a piece of Ruby Red card and used the Stained Glass mask.  I used Apple Red Luna Paste through it and set it aside to dry.  The Luna Paste is a chunky sort of mica but it gives a really reflective background.  I cut it into three sections and added mounting and put them on a piece of white card.  Next I cut the Marilynne die in white and added a vellum backing to it.  I glued it to the background (behind the white card areas).  I cut the Merry & Bright out of red and added a black drop shadow, then added the die shadow in white and put it in the centre of the Marilynne die with foam mounting.  I cut two vellum poinsettias using the outer die from the Triple Layer Poinsettia set and added them in the corner.  I used the Evergreen Branch cut out of white as an accent.  The card was completed with white and red mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
