Under the weather


A card made a while ago to cheer someone up. The images were coloured with spectrum noir pencils as this was a one layer card and alcohol pens would show through. The card blank was run through my printer to print the computer generated sentiment. Lots of gems were then added.

Music for a granddaughter


This is an 8 x 8 commissioned card I made a while ago for a granddaughter, who is a musician and loves playing the piano. The main background paper is from My Paper Stash quintessential country garden backgrounds and the torn piece across the middle is an unknown piece of paper bought a long time ago. I stamped on to this using the Stamps Happen keys to music stamp inked with memento tuxedo black and brushed with stormy sky distress ink, which I also brushed on to the paper and the flowers from Hobbycraft. 

I used the stamp again on to another piece of the music paper and another piece under the insert:

Pearl anniversary


This is a card that I sent my niece and husband for their 30th, Pearl Anniversary. I kept it to one layer, with no patterned paper. It's another of those card blanks with the bottom corners cut away so that some of the underneath can be revealed when used as tent style opening. I used three different washi tapes, two of which were glitter, both at the top of the card and inside. As it was a Pearl Anniversary I added plenty of pearls as well as the silver glittered 30. I used a favourite heart stamp by Stampington Company called forget me not - it has these words which I hid with the little sentiment piece which said 'Happy Anniversary to you both'. I coloured with spectrum noir pencils as alcohol pens would have shown through.

Anniversary


For this anniversary card I used a card blank that had small quadrants of circles cut out of the bottom, with the card opening tent style. I put some washi tape on the inside of the card so it could be seen each side at the bottom.

 I inked the Debbi Moore Anniversary stamp with memento tuxedo black, inking the Anita's hearts stamp with versafine black and heat embossing with detail clear powder (you can just about see it's embossed by the shiny rims around the hearts, which were then coloured in with a red spectrum noir pen, using the same to ensure the mat was the same colour red, as well as the bottom of the card blank, with some washi tape above that.  With the addition of the three butterflies the card was finished.

This is for:

 The rainbow card challenge 20: radiant ruby red
The paper girls 206: emboss like a boss
Ike's world 135: T is for three of a kind/anything goes - three butterflies and three hearts

First communion card


This is a commissioned card made some time ago for a grandson (I know my friend will recognise it). The foiled background was from Hunkydory and the cross is a Tattered lace die cut, using one of the bits from within the scrolled pieces of the cross to form a heart. I can't remember where I got the image from that was printed cut.

A commissioned card made recently for a special friend. I love crafting with purple and shades of lilac.

Everything on to a square card blank.

With sympathy


A card I made recently using a La Blanche lily stamp inked with memento tuxedo black and coloured with spectrum noir pencils (I used pencils instead of alcohol pens, so nothing showed through as it was stamped directly to the card blank. I stamped the corners with Penny Black corner piece stamp inked with memento grape jelly and used the Penny Black floral silhouette stamp between the corners. I used a With Sympathy stamp with the same ink, masking off one word so I could stamp top and bottom.
