Leaves and butterflies

Another card using the lovely pretty leaves embossing folder by Lisa Horton, brushed with oxide distress ink. I used an offcut of green mirror card to cut the mini doilie from Lisa Horton's mini doilies set, with the inner piece cut from a scrap left from one of the papers from Lisa's magazine. The large butterflies are from a pack bought long ago.

Wishing you a happy Birthday

I made this card this afternoon using the pretty leaves 3D embossing folder by Lisa Horton with a piece of white card, brushing with green distress ink and mounting on to green mirror card.  I then used an offcut of the mirror card to cut the mini doilie from Lisa Horton's mini doilies set. The stamped sentiment was inked with memento cottage ivy and stamped on to a piece of paper that came with Lisa's magazine, cutting again with the green mirror background, both from her Double layered sentiments set.

A few of the die cuts went in the bin before I got the 'sandwich' right (wasn't thinking straight - lol!) and at one stage the Gemini just stopped and went off the air .... I switched off, on, off, on etc .... tried gently pushing the plates .... nothing ... until suddenly I switched on again, the lights came on and the plated went through .... phew - lol!

As usual, it was difficult to get a better photo because of reflection.

Have a great day

This card started with a 'happy accident' when I thought I embossed a piece of holographic silver mirror card ... but accidentally (not for the first time) put it into the embossing folder the wrong way round - lol! So it ended up debossed. I used the lovely Heart Bouquet 3D embossing folder with cutting die by Lisa Horton and papers from Lisa's recent magazine box, stamping and die cutting the sentiment from Lisa's double layered sentiments.

Sympathy

I had a request today for a sympathy card ... I had a couple in stock, but knew that this lady wanted something different to the ones I had, so I got out my La Blanche foam lily stamp, inked it with memento tuxedo black straight on to the white card blank, stamping the corners with an unknown stamp that I've had for ages. I coloured parts of the lily with spectrum noir pencils. The insert says 'With deepest sympathy'.

Celebrate

Two cards made with the lovely Heart Bouquet 3D embossing folder with cutting die by Lisa Horton, one cut using gold mirror card and the other holographic silver mirror. I then used offcut pieces of each to cut the daisy that I added to the alternate mirror card, adding these with 3D foam. Having adhered it all to white card blanks, one opening as normal and one as a tent style card, I then added die cut 'Celebrate' from Crafter's Companion (part of their Create-a-card triple easel ornate frames, cutting the edge pieces in the opposite mirror card.

Joy to you at Easter

I've just finished this card made using the lovely sunflowers embossing folder from Lisa Horton with a piece of cream iridescent paper, with the addition of the lovely cross topper upcycled from a card. I used an A5 card from Kanban, cut down to the regular square size.

I've used two photos to try to show the embossing to its best and the third photo is the back of the card.

Oxide distress ink

As well as playing with alcohol inks yesterday, I got out some of the oxide distress ink pads and used a picked raspberry ink pad to randomly ink over a white piece of card.
