Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by my blog.

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

Sentiment is stamped using a black versafine ink pad.

Shaving Foam Card

Hi everyone thanks for stopping by.

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

Theme: No Designer Paper

On my card this week I used a background die and cut a strip out of my card and placed a piece of lilac card stock behind it and also you can see the die in the below photo.

 

My pearls are done using the Cosmic Shimmer Coloured pva glue and also the corners of my card.

My background paper is using the shaving foam technique using distress reinkers, this was the first time I have done it and I really enjoyed this technique. 

I used a spellbinders die to cut my image and also cut out a lilac piece to mat my image to.  I coloured this using my Spectrum Noir pencils and went round the outside edge with dusty concord distress ink.
