You Are So Special

Hello there my crafty friends!  I started with a couple of pieces of silver sparkle card.  I used alcohol inks across both of them in a diagonal manner.  I used Sailboat Blue, Raspberry, Citrus and  Sunshine Yellow alcohol inks on them.  Next I used a border from the Decorative Borders die set and cut it twice into the top of the card and twice into the bottom of the card.  Using the You Are So Special Block sentiment, I used a small leftover piece of the rainbow card and cut just the sentiment portion of the die.  I attached the rainbow card behind the top and bottom borders.  I cut the You Are So Special Block Sentiment out of white card.  I added it onto the outer decorative die from the Just Because Block Sentiment which I cut in black.  I glued a black shadow on to the rainbow cut sentiment and glued it on to the Block sentiment background.  I cut the Jocelyn die in white, cut it in half and seated the block sentiment die cut on top of it, then attached it to the centre of the card.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8"  in size. 

Just a quick note to let you know that Jamie Rodgers will be on Hobby Maker with his brand new collection called Wings Of Wonder today at 4pm and Wednesday at 3pm.  I hope you can set aside some time to watch Jamie's shows and his amazing demonstration!  All for now, Sue x

Always & Forever

 Hello bloggers!  I raided my offcut stash and found some custard, straw, raspberry, deep pink and powder pink card scraps and cut them into 1/2" strips.  I covered a piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet and laid the strips down alternating the colours to create the background.  Next I cut a multi-layered white frame using the Double Stitched Rectangles.  I cut a wide base and added a thin frame on top of it.  I added mounting foam to the frame back and attached it to a piece of white card.  I used the Layered Posy die set and cut the flowers out of two shades of yellow and two shades of pink.  I cut the foliage out of two shades of green.  I assembled all the flowers and the leaves and added them across the bottom of the frame and two in the upper corner.  I cut the Noble Always & Forever sentiment out of raspberry card and glued it inside the frame in the top corner.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  9" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Easter Wishes

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I selected a piece of blue polka dotted paper from the Dots 'N Stripes Paper Pad to use as the background.  I cut a strip of white card and backed it with the matching blue striped paper from the same paper pad and matted it then added another white mat.  I taped it to the left side of the card and cut six of the little "chip" from the Chip The Chick die set in yellow.  I cut all of the shells in polka dotted papers of green, pink and purple from the paper pad.  I attached them down the strip of paper offsetting them on the way.  I cut the large Chip out of yellow card and added a pink polka dotted shell to him.  I used the signpost from the Easter Bunny set and cut it in white and added a small patch of grass to it.  I used a black fine tipped felt pen to makes the words show up better on the signpost.  I cut the Easter Wishes in pink and added an offset black shadow to it then glued it to the top of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hello Friend

Hello bloggers!  I used Midnight Blue Pixie Powder on a piece of Gloss White card, then covered it with scrunched up cling film and set it aside to dry overnight.  I peeled off the cling film, leaving all the interesting mica lines on the background.  I cut the Hello Friend sentiment out of both white and black card.  I shadowed the white sentiment then glued it onto the background.  Using the Pierced Summer Blossoms, I cut the flowers out of both white, Arctic Blue and Sky Blue and assembled the flowers.  I attached them in a diagonal across the card.  I cut the leaves in white and added them around the flowers.  I added the background onto another piece of white card and used Double sided tape around the edges.  I added Iced Snow to the tape for a pretty bling around the card.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  9 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
