Louise & Clive's Wed.

Hello everyone, here's another card l made for a friends wedding in September.
 It is yet another 8 x 8 white scalloped base card, l used blue card for matting and layering as she got married in blue, and was butterfly themed, thus l chose to use an embossing folder for the topper which had the scrolls and butterflies, l used Frayed Burlap distressed ink to enhance the scrolls and also the car, which is l believe a Marianne die, l put two pieces of blue card into the same folder, just where the butterflies are, then cut them out to embellish. The letters were cut with....yes you've guessed it , my Cricut machine.
Many thanks for taking a look at my blog, hope you like what you see.

Silver Wedding

Hi everyone, sorry its been a while since l last posted, have been rather busy replenishing my stock for my next booking for my craft stall.
I made this card for my son and his wife for their silver wedding, it is a 8 x 8 scalloped white card, and embossed Centura white pearlescent with my new 8 x 8 swirl embossing folder and matted this onto silver mirror card. I then used my dies to cut the hearts, embossed the silver with a dotty folder, and topped with another heart cut from the same pearlescent card, wrapped a ribbon around, added a bow with a silver glitter gem in the centre. The numbers and initials were cut with my Cricut machine. They spent their anniversary in Tunisia, but were chuffed to bits with it when they returned home, and said they were going to treasure it. 
Hope you like what l have posted and please visit again....Thank You

Sea-life card

Hi everyone, this is my latest card, the stamps l used are the ones from the September issue from Dimension Stamps project club, starting with an A5 landscape white base card, matt and layered with black, for the next layer l chose an aqua colour and stamped with the reeds and put thro my new 8 x 8 embossing folder of large dots. Then stamped and coloured the images and cut out to place around the card to creat an underwater scene, finished off with the text also from the stamp set. Could be quite useful for someone who has an aquarium.  Hope you like what you see and thank you for taking the time to take a look at my blog, all comments are welcome.

Ruby Wedding

Hi everyone, l really am on a roll at the moment, this is a Ruby Anniversary card to go into my stock for my craft stall at the local hospital, of which l have booked  fortnightly.
The main card is an A5 landscape white card, layered with a full matt of Centura Pearlescent card, from Crafters Companion , embosed with my swirl embossing folder and rounded the corners. wrapped a piece of red ribbon across, l then stamped the rose image and coloured with my Spectrum Noirs and cut with a scalloped die, inked the edges with Worn Lipstick distressed ink. The embellishments on either side are from my new Die-lites from Spellbinders, of which l inked with the same distressed ink whilst within the die. The text plate is from an embossing folder too.

Rambling Rose

This card is a 6 x 6 and made from a lovely bronze pearlescent card.  Using Creative Expressions, Rambling Rose stamp set, l stamped the rose image with Pumice Stone Distressed Ink, and coloured with my Faber Castell pencils, also stamped the rosebud and coloured in the same way, l then cut out the bud with my spellbinders and also a matt with the same bronze card. Also stamped the leaves with the same distressed ink, coloured once again, and cut out to use as decoupage.  Making three tags with the words and leaves from the same set, l edged all these with my Promarker Gold pen to give a faux matt finish. To complete l punched a ribbon out of vellum, topped it with a spare piece of the bronze card, and placed a toning bow on the corner,

50th Birthday

This card was a special order for a 50th Birthday.
I started out with an A5 card and cut to shape using Spellbinders, Grand Labels 23, inked the edges with distressed Ink, Worn Lipstick, l then cut the same shape, but the next size down with paper from my stash, inking the edges with Bundled Sage, and once again cut yet another size down with toning green card inking the edges with Bundled Sage once more. I used a decoupage for the main image, and completed with the 50 cut with my Cricut machine, and a couple of toning gems.
