I'll Stand By You

Hi there bloggers!  I started with the Tropical Background for today's card.  I cut it out of Khaki card and used Forest Moss Distress Oxide ink through the die before removing it to add accents to the leaves.  Next I cut a small square using the Double Stitched Square die set.  I added a thin green mat behind it and added it with foam to the centre of the card.  I cut the I'll Stand By You sentiment out of Soft Salmon card and added a black shadow behind before gluing it to the square.  I used two of the Flamingos from the Tickled Pink die set also cut out of Soft Salmon card.  I used a sharpie to colour their beaks black before adding wings and attaching them to the card with foam.  I cut a couple of individual leaves using the Tropical Flora die set and added them to the corner of the sentiment.  The card was completed with white and soft salmon mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  7 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Spread Your Wings And Fly

Hello bloggers!  I am back at the silver sparkle card and the alcohol inks for this one!  I used Indigo, Sailboat Blue and Cool Peri alcohol inks on to the silver sparkle card.  I loved the way it came out like a night sky with the indigo really leaving darker patches throughout.  Next I cut the background of the Spread Your Wings die out of vellum.  I cut the decorative part of the die out of Khaki card, white card and Sky Blue card.  I used the Khaki version as the base and nipped away the words out of the white version and glued them on top on the khaki card version.  I did the same thing with the birds out of the sky blue card version.  I carefully glued it onto the vellum backing and then used cosmic lacquer onto the leaves to give them a glossy look.  I completed the card with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  7 1/2" n size.  All for now.

Wine A Little, Laugh A lot

Good Sunday morning all!  Another wine card for you today.  I started with a piece of milk card and embossed it with the Rose Bed 3D embossing folder for texture.  I added it to another piece of milk card and put a thin tan divider between them.  Next I cut the wine bottle and glass from the Merlot set.  I cut the wine glass out of milk card and deep wine card and cut away just the liquid portion and glued it onto the wine glass.  I added both with foam to the top of the card  I used the Grape Vine border cut in tan card then added the grapes and leaves over it in Wine card  and Khaki card.  I glued that to the bottom of the card.  I used the Wine a little, Laugh a lot sentiment and cut it in tan twice and stacked them before gluing them to the top of the card.  I used a white pencil to add accents to the grapes, wine and wine bottle.  I completed the card with milk and wine card mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  7 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Cling Film Technique Card

Hi bloggers!  Here is a fun new technique that I came up with recently.  You might have seen the video a few weeks back about using the cling film with Lustre Polish.  This is a carry on from that, which uses the cling film from that technique to make another card and give it an exciting background.  Nothing wasted at all!

 The finished dimensions are 7"  x 
8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Just Because

Hello there my crafty friends!  It almost looks as if this picture was taken in black and white, but it is just a  silver and white card for today's offering.  I started by taping the Feathered mask to a piece of s;ate grey card  I used Silver Chrome Glitter Kiss through the mask and then set it aside to dry overnight.  Next I cut the background into three sections.  I added mounting foam to the backs of each section and added them to another piece of white card.  Next I cut the Claire die out of white card, using just the outermost die in the set.  I cut the die again, but this time I used the next size down in the set and used the decorative die with it.  I added a backing of the outside die cut and backed it out of silver Glitter Kiss.  I cut the smaller circle from the inside of the die and used silver Glitter Kiss around the edge of it.  I added it to the centre with foam.  I added the Just Because sentiment  it to the centre,  Next I made a small scrunched flower using the solid flowers from the Striped Nasturtiums.  I added silver glitter kiss to the tips of the petal and allowed it to dry well.  I seated it with leaves and Fern Fronds cut in white.  The card was completed with white and silver mats and layer.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  7 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Sending Love & Hugs

Hi crafters!  Here is a super quick card!  Grab your pixie powders for this one, specifically the emerald green, pale olive and  aqua lagoon.  Allow to dry well.  Next, cut the Feather leaf Frond six times (alternating each one) and glue them offset up the side of the card.  Trim them even with the edge of the card.  Cut the Sending Love & Hugs sentiment  twice and stack them, then glue to the lower corner of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now.
