age is just a number!!



I was inspired by the fabulous card by Cornelia. It is my dil's birthday today, so I made this card for her. I used a 6x6 black card base, and because I didn't have suitable number stamps, I used some silver stickers to create the falling numbers. I handcut the arrows from a scrap of shiny red card, and the bigger numbers, which were originally a sickly green were heat embossed with red ep. The strip down the side is some tape, which I thought finished off the card quite nicely.
I would like to enter this at the Stamplorations Spotlight Project
and also at Pixie's Crafty Workshop, as I used the wee snippets of red

Have a great week and thanks for visiting

Best wishes

Today's card features a beautiful Art Deco image that I have recycled from another card. I have layered it on a red mat, and then a Kraft one. I also coloured the peel-off to match. I would like to enter this into the Stamplorations February challenge.

New Baby

I had to make a baby card, and found inspiration while doing some internet searching. Sorry I did not take note of the web address for the Sillhouette file, I will add it to this post if I can find it again. I cut out the elephant from a scrap of spotty paper, printed the message on the computer, cut it out and layered it on a piece of silver corrugated card. A very simple card, but I am pleased with the result.

flowers!

Today's card features a stamp that I have had a number of years, and I go back to it every so often. I stamped and embossed with detail black EP, and also stamped again on a snippet of pretty blue card. I fussy cut it and raised it with mounting tape over one of the images. I also added black 'enamel effects' in the centre.

Bits and Bobs!

Today's card features this lovely poppy stamp from Crafty Individuals. I chose to only colour the flower, as I wanted it to really stand out. I used a white ink pad and a Paper Artsy stamp to make the background splatters, and added a piece of ribbon, a piece of lace and some red bling.

Masculine

I found the background piece in my experiments box, but can't remember exactly how I made it!
The stamps are by Tim Holtz, including my new 'bird crazy' set and I used bleach to take the colour away from this very studious bird.

butterflies

Today's card features my Leafy Vines stamp from Hero Arts, embossed with detail white EP on black card, and layered onto an orange card base. I have also stamped onto a snippet of orange, 2 butterflies from Kaisercraft, and added Wink of Stella to their wings. I used flower stamens for the feelers, and coloured them with copics to match.
