Love is worth taking a risk


This is my design card for the Sweet Pea Stampers challenge: sparkle and shine. Please click on the link and admire the wonderful crafting of the rest of the team - and please join in the challenge - if you have any Sweet Pea images we would love to see them, but you don't have to have them to join in.

I used Lisa Victoria's 'Daphne's Dilemma' Sweet Pea rubber stamp coloured with Spectrum Noirs with Art Institute glitters and glossy accents. The background is Hukydory card and Embossalicious 'floral vine' embossing folder strip on pink pearlised card. The sentiment was generated with my Dymo letratag and I added a few flowers and gems to give some more shine.

Hello


Another autumnal card with a background made with my gelli plate. I fist made a layer of yellow acrylic paint that I dabbed with scrunched up paper to give a mottled effect. I then used some red with a dotty stencil and then some brown with a swirly leaf stencil - both from Clarity Stamps.

The leaves are similar to the one used on the previous card - they look much better in real life - you can see through them more.

Autumn birthday


The background was embossed using Embossalicious floral vine and swiped with firebrick distress ink. The coloured strips on the side are scraps left from gelli plate prints using various stencils. The leaf is one of many I bought years ago. The charm at the base of the leaf was originally silver, so I coloured it with alcohol ink.
