BYSHC #5

 


 Hi there
Today's card is another entry for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Challenge
I have used an embossing folder with white card and layered onto a red card base. After printing the sentiment, I die cut the 2 circles and attached to the card. These are all from a set that was free in a magazine.

Summer Flowers

 

Good afternoon all
I have been missing in action for a bit as we have had workmen here all week, and I have not been able to access my craftroom until today.
Today's card uses one of my favourite stamps from Crafty Individuals.
I have stamped it onto a distressed ink on water colour paper background that was in my 'ready to use' box. I then coloured the daisy with a white Posca pen and added a little glimmer to the butterfly wings and the small flowers on the right. After tying a silver cord around, I attached to a pale mauve card base

Just for you

 


Good afternoon crafters. It is a horrible wet and windy day today, so I am catching up on a few things in my craftroom. I was going through a box of bits and pieces and found this 'wise old owl; that I had printed some time ago, so I am not sure where I got it from.
I found some toning papers and assembled according to the sketch from 'Crafts from the Fairy Den'
