happy birthday

colourQ challenge:   #227

Using an embossing folder I created a panel down the front of my card. I used three colours to stamp and punch out my butterflies. These were glued to my white card base.

My sentiment has been stamped and double mounted, on to my fourth colour.

To finish of my butterflies I added a rhinestone.

Happy Anniversary

Less is More Challenge -  SKETCH TIME

I had been wanting to have a play with this spiral flower die, and this weeks sketch challenge at Less is More, gave me the ideal opportunity to try it out. Using an embossing folder I created the silver band across my card.

I used some scraps of vellum and silver paper to make the flowers, and added some rhinestones to their centres. The flowers were layered over my punched out leaves.

I wanted to keep the colour scheme very simple, so added a sentiment stamped in grey to match my flowers.

Winter Blues - happy birthday

Less is More Challenge -   Winter Blues

Having used this stamp and punch set to make some of my Christmas cards, I really enjoyed the challenge of using it with winter blue colours.

The background has been made with the matching embossing folder.

I cut out and scored a frame using my Simply Scored Board, and mounted my two stamped images on 3D pads, with added rhinestones for a bit of glitter!

To bring out the colour, I punched a hole through my embossed background. The sentiment has been double mounted to bring all my colours together.

friend 70

I have added an embossed background on to my white card base. I then made a tag by using my corner rounder and a hole punch, and stamped the word friend to the bottom. A piece of coordinating ribbon was attached.

My butterfly has been made by cutting out my butterfly twice, but only pushing out the excess on the top one. Some rhinestones finished this off.

To complete my card I added some leaves and a tag with 70 stamped on to it.

Gently Falling Leaves

colourQ challenge:   #216

As usual the colours over at ColourQ this week challenged me to use colours that I wouldn't think to put together!

I used a crumb cake card base, to which I added a white embossed background for my leaves.

In keeping with the soft muted colours, I choose to use crumb cake ink for both my sentiment and the leaves.

I cut the leaves out by hand, and mounted both these and the sentiment on 3D pads for added dimension.
