Chic!

Today's card features a stamp set that I have had for some time, by Dawn Houser at Inkadinkado. I have stamped with Memento Tuxedo black on to some pieces of designer paper from Basic Gray 'out of print' 6x6 pad.I added a couple of rhinestones for some bling.

at the beach!

Today's card features one of the very first stamps that I ever bought. It was one of a set of 4 by Provo Craft - all little beach scenes - they are so cute.
I stamped with Brilliance graphite black and embossed with clear ep. I have coloured with Promarkers and made it into a shaped card with a Go Create die. I have done faux stitching around the edge.

Pink and Purple

A pretty card I made this morning before going out.
The card is a pale pink mottled colour (from my stash)
The background is randomly stamped with Hero Arts-Old French Writing. I then ran a piece of vellum through my cuttlebug with the paisley folder and tore a piece off which I placed on the right hand side. I then attached a piece of sheer pink ribbon, and then layered my stamped image on top. I don't know the name of the stamp as I borrowed it from a friend a while ago!
I am entering  Emergency Crafters  for pink and purple from their colour inspiration, and  Sweet Stamps   for stamped background

Black and white + 1

Unfortunately my scanner has made this a little pink - IRL it is more into the mauve shades of the ribbon.

I have used a lovely new (to me) stamp set from Cornish Heritage Farms, and I have popped the circle up on mounting tape. The wings of the butterflies are also raised.

Butterflies

Today's card features a gorgeous stamp from Crafty Individuals, and a new background technique. It was done bt dabbing distress inks onto an acrylic block, spritzing with water and then applying it to the card. I really like how this has turned out, and will try this agin in a different colour scheme.

Christmas is Coming!!

This is a super-easy Christmas Bauble card to make using Spellbinders Scalloped circles, and a Christmas embossing folder. Add a shaped tab at the top with a string, and it can be used to hang on your tree. I have chosen to use it as a Christmas card, with the addition of the message.
