Alcohol Ink Panel


Hi Peeps...

Today I'm sharing a card that I made with an off-cut of a panel I created with alcohol inks...  which has gold foil on it too for extra sparkle.  I used gold mirri card to frame the panel top and bottom, then adhered it to a die cut stitched square.  Lastly, I added a old sentiment from Paper Smooches.


  

There's not much more I can say about the card... it's pretty CAS!

Big hugs

Memory Box Happy Birthday Posh Script


Hi Lovelies...

I was inspired for my card today by a lovely card made by Rachel at @colourandsparkle - but I really have had difficulty photographing it - I think our weather isn't helping as either the sky is dark with rain clouds, or it's very bright which makes the blue sky reflect in a blue-ish hue on my white!  One day I'm going to have to invest in a better set up!

Anyways... it's an easy make...   I used a rectangle stencil which I blended Distress Oxides though - then when that was dry, I splattered with gold watercolour paint.  I then used this gorgeous word die from Memory Box, cutting the shadow in vellum and the words in glitter card.  I adhered this to the card panel, then the panel to a pink card base.   Lastly I added a few gems for more sparkle!


Card Info:
Dies - Memory Box Happy Birthday Posh Script, MFT Stitched Rectangles
Distress Oxides - Kitsch Flamingo, Scattered Straw and Tumbled Glass
Gold Watercolour paint
Gems


I think this final photo is the most accurate when it comes to the colours I used..  hope you like!

Happy Crafting...

Altenew Blooming Flower Bed Stencils


Hi Lovelies...

Well I've been shopping my stash again, and I've had these gorgeous Altenew Blooming Flower Bed stencils for a while, and have only used them once... so out they came again!

I've made a couple of cards, in different colours and with different sentiments..  believe it or not, the words are in gold, but it's so difficult to photograph!


Card Info:
Stencils - Altenew Blooming Flower Bed Stencils
Catherine Pooler Inks
Dies - Simon Says Stamp


And here's the second colour mix.. 





Loving this sentiment - it's all you'd ever wish anyone, isn't it?


Sorry about the amount of pics...  I really am just trying to show the colours how I actually see them (especially the gold), and not as my camera THINKS they should be!

Alex Syberia Designs Sweet Friend


Hi Lovelies...

Well it's CAS time for me today.. I love this little Sweet Friend set from Alex Syberia Designs..  but decided that nothing should detract from the little kiss that this pair are sharing!

So all I did, after colouring and fussy cutting, was to give them a strip of greenery to stand on, a couple of die cut hearts above them, and the tiny greeting below the strip.


Card Info:
Image and Sentiment - Alex Syberia Designs Sweet Friend
Die - MFT Stitched Rectangle, Tiny heart Die
Smooshed Scrap for strip
Colouring - Copics
Mice - E40/41/42/43 R000
Dress - R81/83 White Gel Pen
Top and shorts - BG02/11 B23

To make the little mice slightly rounder, I used a large embossing ball tool onto the back of the image while it was on firm foam.

Definitely CAS!

Hope you like my little pair...

Hugs

Lawn Fawn Magic Messages


Hi Lovelies...

For my card today, I have been using some of the spare smooshed backgrounds that are in my folder - diecutting them with flower and wreath dies.  I've made a few cards with different sentiments - this is just one.


Card Info:
Flowers and Wreath Dies - sorry they are older - no name on them
Sentiment - Lawn Fawn Magic Messages
Distress Oxides
Gold Embossing Powder

I'm afraid I'm getting increasingly frustrated with the photography of my cards.. which is why I've not been posting as many.  I wish there was a magic trick to be able to capture the true colours of the card!

Hugs...
