Merry Christmas

 

Another Christmas card, my stash is building quite nicely, thanks to the inspiration from BYSHCardmakers

This one is made from papers from a set that I received, with the addition of Kindyglitz in purple to highlight the wee snowflakes and around the circular sentiment

Warm Thoughts

 

Welcome back

Another card inspired by a fellow Kiwi, Natasha Foote

The stamp is one I won a number of years ago from Hero Arts (SD397)

I stamped with Brilliance graphite black and then clear embossed

The flower is coloured with V528 Orchid, V546 Purple, V17 Amethyst, V09 Violet

The leaves are G21 Lime Green and YG67 Moss

I trimmed the edge of the flower and cut back to the sides on an angle.

Layered onto a toning mauve card and then stamped and embossed the sentiment. Also added the black dots using Enamel Accents

Shimmer and shine

 

Welcome

Today's card uses an embossing folder that I have had for quite some time, but don't think I have ever used it! It is by Sizzix, but does not have a name

I applied Versamark to the butterflies before running it through my cuttlebug, and then quickly added some sparkly embossing powder.

I then used a wash of diluted peacock feather DI to colour the background. I did not think it was 'sparkly' enough so went over the butterflies with 'KindyGlitz"

I found the happy birthday message in one of my scrap boxes, so split the words and attached to the blank area.

I used black for the card base, and it looks much more 'glittery' in real life - I should have photographed it instead of scanning.

3 cats

 

Welcome

My images are called cat trio from Bugaboo which has now sadly closed down

I coloured them with markers - Copics Y26, RO1, Reno Art 271, and Art Marker BG1

I tore the edge of a piece of DP from Lily Bee Design and adhered to the left of the green base

Next, I cut the cats into squares and attached them over the dp. I had printed a second set, so coloured these, fussy cut and added with mounting tape so that they are raised

I coloured a peeloff with a black marker and added to finish off

Today's card was inspired by one of Tash Foote's recent videos

I cut up some scraps of designer papers and attached them to my card which I had applied 'jac' paper to, making sure to leave gaps.

I then scattered Ebony Shimmer EP on and heat set it. The piece was then trimmed and attached to my  black card base. I diecut a white scallop circle and a black stitched circle and stamped and white detail embossed the 'happy birthday'

The big '50'

 

 One of my nieces turns 50 this weekend, so I have made this card for her.

 I cut the shape on my Cameo Silhouette in a cream card, and again in the pink stripe designer paper 

After attaching the two together, I sponged the edges with pink and added diecut flowers and butterflies which I have coloured with Promarkers Dusky Rose and Moss. I also added another flower which I had stamped and fussy cut and added micro beads to the centre

This picture gives a clearer picture of the diecuts.
