Friends

I was rather pleased with the way this one finished.
I found a lovely background to print from Astrid's site, and have layered it onto blue metallic card.The nesties label is cut with my cuttlebug and the words are a lovely rub-on that I bought in Australia. I tied the label on with matching blue sheer ribbon, cut out a flower from some old lace and adhered it to blue card. I coloured the pearls and rhinestones with copics. (used 3 of each)

I would like to enter the following challenges

Polkadoodles   - use 3 of something (it's their 3rd birthday)
Artful Times #5    -  ribbon and lace

die cuts

I have been having fun creating a series of these. The top is the birthday embossing folder, and the lower half is a piece from my stash. The die cut is from Cuttlekids which I have had for a number of years, and is still very useful. I have pieced it and placed it on a scalloped square (nesties rectangle cut down to a square) which has the edges 'smudged with some ink pads.

Playing Around!

I have been having a messy play with some old stamps, new stamps, and distress inks.
I have had this Tim Holtz stamp for a year now and sad to say, it has not seen much ink. I stamped it twice with Adirondack 'expresso' (love this colour) and then cut out the bird and added some colour with a copic.
The background dots are 'Mini Polka Dot Background' that I won from The Artistic Stamper, and have lost the name of the little diamonds. I sponged with 'Dried Marigold' and 'Antique linen' distress inks.
I would like to enter the following challenges

Flowers

Just a quick card today for the challenge at The Cuttlebug Spot    The stamp is from Hero Arts, the sentiment is a rub-on, and the scalloped ovals were cut with my 'bug. The green layer was embossed with 'swiss dots'
Hope you like it

Pink!

Today's card is a very simple one - A piece of pink card embossed with my paisley folder, and lightly 'smooched' with Impress 'cupid pink' ink pad. Stamped with words from a Hero Arts set, and finished with a 'nestie butterfly in darker pink and vellum.

Blue & Brown

The challenge at Sunday Stamper is for blue and brown so have made this card using the two colours.
The brown is Adirondack Expresso and I used it for the image, as well as sponging the edges of the pale brown card and top layer. The blue layer was run through the cuttlebug with my paisley folder, and then highlighted a little with a white ink pad. The image is from a new stamp set that I won from The Creative Pointe, and I finished off with 3 blue gems, twine which is wound 3 times around the top layer and a brown button.
I would also like to enter at Marks Finest Papers - 3 of something, and SJCrafts - use your favourite. (my cuttlebug)

Emboss resist

This circular card was made with scalloped circles by Nestabilities. I cut a smaller size to layer on the front.. The stamp ( a lovely prize from Blockheads) is stamped with an Emboss It Clear pad, and then clear EP and heated.
I then rubbed in Distress Inks, antique linen, dried marigold, and worn lipstick. This immediately makes the image pop. I then finished with a flourish stamp and some paper flowers.

'tagging'

This is a tag card that I made for my daughter and SIL who celebrate their anniversary on the same day as we do.
It is partly embossed and then coloured with an ink pad.. The flower was hand cut after making some paper from Neil Walker's instructions. The centre of the flower is a broken piece of jewellery, but fnished it off nicely

Experimenting

Today I have been playing around with colours, textures, and shapes.
I have used my nesties scalloped circles to cut the base card, then cut a smaller single layer in black.
The owl  is embossed onto a piece of card, which has duct tape (from the shed) stuck on. I then experimented with colouring, using alcohol ink first and then some green Lumiere. I layered 2 pieces of copper tape (more diy stuff from the shed!) and then the owl raised on mounting tape.
I wonder what else I could find in the shed that I could use in crafting!!!

birds of a feather

I have been playing with a new set of stamps that I won from Holley, I thought they were rather cute!
I needed to make an orange and blue card for a swap I am in, so this suited the purpose. As you can see I have stamped the birds in a row, and the sentiment on a card scrap which I cut out with a nestie die. I then added the ric-rac, and did the bird's eyes with a gel pen.

Hearts - love - romance!

The template for this lovely romantic card  came from Cardmaking Paradise (see link on my sidebar)
It is a triple heart easel card, and I have edged the cream layers with Distress Ink Antique Linen, and the apricot hearts, which have been embossed in my cuttlebug, with Dried Marigold. I can't remember where I got the pretty roses from, but they suited the project beautifully. Finished of with an organza ribbon bow and a little heart bead which has 'love' on it.
