Happy Anniversary

Good Sunday morning all!  I started this anniversary card with a piece of milk card that I embossed with the Heart Scrolls embossing folder.  Next I cut the Gazebo die out of milk card with a piece of antique gold card behind it.  This gave me a gold backing for behind the gazebo which cut out completely in milk card.  I glued them together and added it to the card with foam.  I cut the Wedding Bells in gold card then nipped away two of them and reassembled it into a three bell swag and added it to the top of the gazebo.  I used the Wedding Columns and Arches die set and added columns to either side of the gazebo.  I used the ivy swag and cut it in milk card and used some Enchanted Gold Gilding polish on it. I nipped it in half and used it as an accent around the Happy Anniversary sentiment which I cut in gold and added to the top of the card.  I cut the Wedding Couple in milk card and added them in the centre of the gazebo.  The card was completed with gold and milk mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  7" in size.  All for now.

Festive Cheer

Hello bloggers!  I wanted to share one of the Stamps To Die For that matches the Marilynne die from the Festive release.  I used a piece of Pixie Powdered card as the background.  It was made with Midnight Blue and Purple Violet.  I cut the Felicity die in white as a backdrop.  I stamped The Marilynne's Lamplight Stamp To Die For in black.  I used Distress Markers to colour it in.    I cut it out with the matching Marilynne die and added it to the centre with foam.  This card would be a good one for batch cardmaking but if you want to add a bit more detail to it, you can stamp the stamp again and then cut out the wreath or the sign or birds and layer them up too!  I completed the card with a simple white on white mat and layer.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x  7 1/4" in size.  All for now.

Beautiful Friend

Hi crafters!  I pulled out my Peacock Feather mask for this one.  I started with a piece of coconut white card with a sticky adhesive sheet attached to it.  Before placing my mask onto the exposed adhesive, I patted it with a Clear Perfect Medium pad so it would remove easier.  I used Polished Silk Glitter through the mask with the deep blue into the centres of the feathers and the sea green into the edges.  Once all the glitter was in place, I removed the mask and used Clear Micro Beads over the remaining exposed adhesive sheet.  I cut the Beautiful Friend die from the Proud Peacock die set in Cobalt blue card.  I seated it on a Pierced Flag and attached it to the background with foam and glue.  I cut one of the large peacock feathers from the same set and used Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide inks on it before gluing it to the pierced flag behind the sentiment.  The card was completed with white and Cobalt blue card mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  7 1/4" in size.   All for now, Sue x

Merry & Bright

Hi crafters!  This one is a personal favourite of mine, I just love the sparkle from the Iced Flake!  I started by cutting the Pretty Poinsettia frame in black and gluing it to a piece of acetate.  I used the Rose Quartz Crystal Tint to fill in the poinsettias and a dot of the yellow citrine tint for the centres.  After it dried, I added another die cut of the frame in white and slightly offset it to use the black one as a shadow.  I cut the Ruffled Edge Frame die in white as a background for it, then cut thee centre rectangle from the set in white and added a red backing to it.  I layered it up and then went back to the Pretty Poinsettia frame to add a backing to it.  I cut the outer shape out of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet attached to it.  I applied the Iced Flake to the exposed adhesive, then glued the poinsettia frame over the top of it so it showed through the acetate.  I added everything to a larger piece of white card and used the Merry & Bright sentiment on the bottom of it.  I cut it in red and black and offset it, then added it to the white shadow die from the set.  The card was completed with white, red and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
