40th

 


A 40th birthday card for the daughter os one of my work colleagues.

I cut the base card and also the DP on my Cameo and sponged the edges for a bit more dimension. The message is actually gold mirror card, but it does not scan well.

Merry shaker

 


.

Welcome crafty friends, I have been missing again for a while but wanted to show this card.

It is quite some time since I have made a shaker, but I saw this design by Christine Werner, and altered it a bit. The green background was made using two different Memento inks to create an ombre look. The Merry was cut with my Cameo Silhouette and I also added a stencilled part of a snowflake in the corner, and the sparkly Christmas word.

Cats and Mouse


 Hi everyone

I wanted to use the sketch from MFT for this cat card, and decided to use the colours from their colour challenge also

I cut strips for the background but the metallic card I used for the teal colour has come out more of a dark green!

I diecut some stitched circles and stamped the cats from a set by Magengo designs. The background is coloured with "Thiscolor" pale pink, and the cats and mouse are coloured with "Promarker" silver lining

Butterfly



 

Hi everyone. I hope you are all keeping well

I saw a card made with this die some time ago on a CAS facebook group, and when I saw it come up on a local selling site, I just had to have it

I cut it from a piece of patterned card, which I added a bit more colour to with a copic marker. I also ran the top wings through a textured embossing folder, and touched it up here and there with some gold paint. The honeycome die cut is from a Sizzix set by Tim Holtz. To finish off I added a gold peeloff from my vast collection

Soulmates

 


 Welcome.
I am back today with a card using a 'new to me' stamp by Art Impressions. Don't these friends look like they are having fun!
I have made my background by cutting some scraps into strips and adhering to the base card. After colouring with markers I die cut and layered to the background. A sticker finished it off.
