Happy Easter

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by my blog.

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

Theme: Spring

So here is my card for this week

The card base is 8 x 4.5" and is white card stock.  I cut the front of the card away leaving about 1/2" at the top to attach the acetate too.  I cut two strips of the patterned paper from the stack and used a Martha Stewart border punch - doily lace and the seep edge border punch - Eyelet lace.

The sentiment was made using a Alphabet Die set from Quickutz (apologies but I don't remember which one).  The card stock was white coloured with distress ink "Victorian Velvet")

The flowers are cherry blossoms from Wild Orchard Crafts and the leaves were cut from green patterned paper using Spellbinders little leaf set

The photo above shows up close how the acetate sits nicely on the front of the card and i have mirrored the back of the acetate with the front with patterned paper.  The insert of the card is out of the same patterned paper and when it is going to be sent out I will insert a verse.

I coloured my image with Crayola Coloured pencils and layered onto a die from Sizzix Circles and Spellbinders Lacy Circles.

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.
