Sending you a note

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by my blog.

Over at Brown Sugar we have a new challenge starting today.

Theme: One for the Boys

So here is my card for this week

This card is made up off a pece of A4 white card stock folded in half, I cut the front in half and attached a piece of project acetate.  Using some blue card stock I layered into my card and then place patterned paper on top.  My image was already coloured which was a help as to what coloured scheme i chose.  I cut it out using a spellbinder die and again matted and layered into with the same colour scheme as the base card.  Finished it up with a sentiment that came with the image and a few black gems in each corner.  i matted and layed the inside from cover the same way as I done the front which meant it hid the glue which I attached the acteate with and the inside of the back which with the sctate show through.

Items used:-

White, blue cardstock

Baseball Cuties - Happy Birthday

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by my blog.

Over at Brown Sugar we have a new challenge starting today.

Theme: Anything goes

So here is my card for this week

I the photo below I used a sentiment die "Happy Birthday" from Cheery Lynn, cut out in black card and using cosmic shimmer glue to the bottom right hand side of the card.

The green and brown patterned paper was from My Minds Eye, Totally Girl 2009 collection and the border was "Doily Lace" from Martha Stewart.

In the top left hand corner I put a bling swirl.  It was a crystal clear and by using a promarker in the colour gold I changed the colour to match the bling on either side of the image. 

A piece of white card was used and coloured with a distress ink "Victorian Velvet".  I used a die which I got free from a magazine, it was a 3D swirl then rolled into the flowers.  The leaves were from a set from Tattered Lace, "Lavish Bloom Leaves"

I coloured my image with Crayola Coloured pencils and layered onto a rusty brown patterned paper.
