Hearts - love - romance!

The template for this lovely romantic card  came from Cardmaking Paradise (see link on my sidebar)
It is a triple heart easel card, and I have edged the cream layers with Distress Ink Antique Linen, and the apricot hearts, which have been embossed in my cuttlebug, with Dried Marigold. I can't remember where I got the pretty roses from, but they suited the project beautifully. Finished of with an organza ribbon bow and a little heart bead which has 'love' on it. I am entering the following challenges.

One Stop Craft   hearts and flowers with ribbon

                                                                                   Paper and Such  hearts and love

Thanks for looking and I hope you have had a lovely Valentine's Day

Shades of Blue

I have been experimenting with using stickers. This one is a Penny Black Stickeroo. The background papers are embossed on my Cuttlebug. I have used the sketch from

Using leftovers

I was so pleased to see the Cuttlebug Spot Challenges are back again. I missed the first one as we were away, but have entered the current challenge with this card.

The paler card is embossed with swiss dots, and because it wasn't big enough, I tore it across the bottom to extend it, and put the  greeting in the space. The Penny Black stickeroo is also on a leftover piece that toned in with the other colours

One for the boys

I haven't done a man's card for a wee while, so when I saw the challenge at
http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com/
I was inspired to use this stamped image with the red background embossed with the c/b and a piece of ribbon attached with staples.

Autumn Colours again

I just love the colours of Autumn - they blend together so well.
For this card I have printed a digi quote on to a mottled card and sponged the edge with distress ink. I have punched out the flowers and leaves, and ran the darker flowers through my cuttlebug to give a texture. The two green flourishes were also cut with the c/b. I hope you like it.

Playing with Alcohol Inks

I have not had these inks long and was keen to have a play with them. I used a shiny card, and after applying the ink, I ran it through the c/b, rounded the corners, and attached to a d/l card. The little tag says Thank you, and can be taken out of the vellum pocket. Finished off with some punched flowers and added some 'bling' to their centres.
I am entering the following challenges.
