Christmas embossing

 

Hi, another traditional christmas card made. Hand embossed onto a green card aperture card and then the surface was gently rubbed with a shimmer ink to enhance the design. A christmas wreath topper was applied with silicone glue and Happy Christmas sentiment was stamped in the center. Have a lovely day and thank you for looking.

Hand stamped with love

 

With Love & Best Wishes card made from using a traditional background stamp with black ink onto a white card stock. To give it some colour and dimension I then used a belnd of Tim Holtz distress inks around the edge of the design. It was then matt and layered onto a green cardstock and embelished with a sentiment topper and flower that were also coloured with the distress inks to match the background design.

    Thank You For Looking !!.

Christmas card

 

Christmas is coming so I hand embossed this card using a template and embossing tool, It was then gently rubbed with a pearlescent ink to highlight the pattern and then matt and layered onto red card stock. A stick on sentiment was then added in the center.. One down and lots to go as we have only 238 days to go....

     Thank You for looking!!

Wedding Cake

 

Hi, this is the cake I made for my Neice's wedding last July. I am a self taught sugar crafter and debating on whether to go to night classes in the autumn to learn more techniques as I really enjoy making the flowers. I am looking forward to making my son and his fiances wedding cake in a few months time as they are getting married in Nov this year

       Thank you for looking!

Wheels & Cogs

Hi, This was my first attempt at making a male style card and I used a spellbinders MBossing folder to get the cog impression. It was then shaded with a blend of two Tim Holtz distressing inks and then matt and layered onto black card stock. I am quite pleased with the results and would appreciate your comments.

Thank You Card

 

Hi, this Thank You card was made using a Spellbinders MBossing folder and coloured with a Brilliance Pearlescent Lavender ink pad to enhance the design. I layered it with a matching paper, a lilac ribbon, some cream pearls and to complete the card a Thank You sentiment was in the Centre.

Thanks for looking!

Baby Boy

                                             

Hi, I hope this works as this is my first attempt at adding pictures to my blog. I made this "Baby Boy" Celebration card using paper from Pink Petticoat designs. The image was printed onto plain white paper stock and the pram was then  shaded with Spectrum Noir Pens. It was then cut out using Spellbinders Detailed Scallops Die and attached to the card with double sided tape. The butterfly was embellished with spotted paper to match the spotted backing paper and attached to the card to give it a 3D effect.
