Colourful Spots!

 

 Hi all and welcome back.

I have made the background for this card using Memento inks, rose bud, love letter, cottage ivy, and new sprout. I used circular ink blending sponges to create the spots. After cutting the 'happy' I embossed it twice with detail black ep, and the birthday is embossed with detail white

Yellow Daisy Trellis card

Hi there

A design that is new to me, but there are a few tutorials on YouTube if you want the instructions.

I attached a piece of unknown DP to the top to cover the upright supports, and added a pretty yellow daisy and green leaves to complete.

Blue Butterfly

 

Welcome back

Today's card is made with a TH set that I won from Holley earlier this month

I stenciled with Memento summer sky, stamped the butterfly with Memento teal zeal and the sentiment with Versafine onyx black. I also stamped the butterfly again on vellum with summer sky and added some wee pearls to finish

Yellow

 

Welcome back, I have not posted anything for over a month as have had family staying since early January

I saw the challenge at Allsorts is for yellow, so decided to case one of the cards that I made a couple of years ago, but this time I used yellow tones of distress inks. The stamp is an unknown one and I added some detail with Smooch ink in a gold colour. The sentiment is from Paperbabe

Three dragonflys

 

Welcome to today's card

I have followed a design by Monika Weclewska in an older Papercraft Essentials magazine.

I had to compromise and 'use what I have'

The background splotches are from a set by Paperbabe, the dragonflys are unnamed, and I also used a peeloff to finish off. The dragonfly panel was a scrap layered onto the piece cut from the end of the card base

Birthday Butterflies

 

Hi and welcome, and Happy New Year to all my friends and followers

 I have been missing again for a while, but have a few January birthday cards to make, so this is the first

My lovely image is an oldie from Crafty Individuals which I purchased whilst in England for a visit a number of years ago.

I stamped and embossed with bright gold EP and coloured the butterfies with Smooch paint, using the red and the gold, After it was dry I added Stickles for some lovely sparkles, and then another blast from the past - peeloffs!
