Open your heart

 

Hi everyone

Today's card is based on the sketch from Sketch Saturday.

I trimmed some navy card slightly smaller than my white card base and added the two pieces of designer paper. I wound some sparkly gold thread three times around on the left and then attached a butterfly that I had stamped and fussy cut. I stamped the sentiment onto a circle of white, using Brilliance 'pearlescent sky blue' for both. Finished with three gold raised pearls for decoration

A change from Christmas

 

Welcome back

Only five more sleeps, I am sure all the littlies are starting to get excited

My card today has a background piece, where I coloured one side of the EF with a mauve ink pad, before running through my cuttlebug. It has highlighted the design nicely

I stamped my butterfly (Martha Stewart) onto a scrap of card that I had been experimenting with different sprays. I also cut some narrow strips to use as a background to the butterfly. The sentiment is die cut from a scrap of black card

 Welcome everyone, I hope you are all feeling festive!

I made this card for my sil who is also a cardmaker

I used a starry patterned paper for the background and cut the words from some pretty mauve card, which I then 'twinked' with Wink of Stella The holly leaves are punched, as are the sparkly berries
