Have a special day

Hello again! I know you must be really surprised that I am so busy with my crafting activities. I just happened to maximise my day off since I have nothing much else to do! he he Love the feeling I must say.

So anyways, this card too features another Vellum butterfly that was embossed in gold and coloured in with Copics.. I like the whole stained glass effect it has. Will be using this technique more often;-) Please note that all the stamps are by Hero Arts.


The center panel was cut using my Cuttlebug and then stamped with the 'Woodgrain' background stamp. I also used another smaller circle to die cut the hole in the middle.

I then used a Stampa-ma-jig and added the sentiment right onto the center of the second die cut. I mounted one on top of the other using dimensional adhesive and added the Hero arts gems.

This whole panel I adhered to a blue textured cardstock that was stamped with the 'Dot flourishes' stamp set from Hero arts in white ink. Love how it adds to the card without overpowering it.

I masked out a area in the middle with the 3x3 piece of paper and stamped the 'Friendship' background stamp and then added a final butterfly:-)

Thank you for dropping by today:-)

Happy stamping, and a happy monday to you all!

Share your heart

Hello everyone, finally back with another post:-) Today's my day off and finally relaxing at home. I have a special card to share with you today. It's on the theme of Love since Valentines day is fast approaching. I used a few new supplies I had purchased A while back, but didn't get to use on any projects.

So without any delay, here's my little card.

I stuck to the colour combo of pink, white and cream. I didn't feel like the usual red shades which are normally associated with Valentines day.

I also broke out my Enamel Accents by Ranger and added a delicate white border for some texture:-)





I embossed this pretty little butterfly with Silver Tinsel embossing powder by Stampendous.
I actually wanted it for Christmas cards, but purchased it too late, so here I am using it for Valentines day! he he

And on to the FUN PART!!!

Here is the inside:-) I wanted to enter a card to this months Hero arts Challenge, so I decided to decorate the inside of the card with little suspended hearts! I love how it turned out:-) My DH is going to be pleasantly surprised when he opens up this baby.

In case you were wondering, the hearts are mounted on a little spiral I cut out from acetate;-)

Thanks for looking:-) Hope you have a great weekend!

Sweet wonderful you

Hello, It's finally a sunny day over here! So I plan to photograph all my crafty projects that have been piling up from last week:-) So till I get on that, I thought I would share with a card my made to send a sweet friend on mine.



I used my new Basic Grey Olivia paper pad and my favourite Hero arts set, 'Sweet wonderful you' for this.

I went die cut crazy with this one, have I told you how much I love my Cuttlebug? he he!

I used the Large Scallops and the Large Circles dies for this one.

Coloured in the girl to match the pattern paper and added a little lady bug over the sentiment to add a bit of whimsy! the little fella has been glossy accented, I also added some to her eyes to add a twinkle:-) cant seem to put my Glossy accents away these days:-) ahhhh addictions!

Thanks for dropping by, and thank you for all the sweet comments you leave every time:-) I love reading them!

Happy stamping!

Thinking of you (OWHbash)

Hi again, second post for the weekend.. you could expect more posts since I was up till 12.30 last night making sets of cards to send out for OWH, I had to make this second card similar to the first one simply because I don't like to send just one odd card amongst others.. When you see the other posts you will know what I mean;-)

So here is the next Shabby Chic card I made..



Did a bit of embossing and colouring to make this one:-) I used a sheet of butterflies I had printed out about two months ago.. When working with Digi kits I thought this would be a good way to save paper, fill a page up with the images and print it all out in several sizes at once:-) Its my way of being green!





The paper is from an older collection by Basic Grey, totally in love with the papers, this was my favourite really with the birdcages and all.. Finally a chance to use it! So there, simple and yet Shabby Chic!

Supplies:

Starburst Lace stamp and Flutterbies digi kit by Hero Arts
Crinkle ribbon from: http://www.etsy.com/shop/PrairieBirdBoutique
Other stamps: Inkadinkadoo (sentiment)
Dies: Spellbinders
Cuttlebug
Antique Linen Distress ink to ink up the edges:-)

A happy hello!!

Happy Tuesday!! Finally managed to squeeze in some time to make a card.. I used my Spellbinders Scallop circles for this, been waiting to find time to break it out:-)

The challenge theme at the Hero Arts blog this month is Note cards.. So this is my take on it.

I used this cute 'You are the best' set and the 'Monster Fun' set for all the images, and coloured it in with Copic markers.. The green balloon didn't turn out as great as I'd hoped, however I am mighty pleased with her hair!! This is the first time I am colouring hair, and it wasn't too hard really..

I cut out the base card from some Basic Grey Lime Rickey paper and adhered the white circle that I pre inked after masking. Added all the coloured and cut images to find the correct placement and stamped in the sentiment...

After the sentiment was done I added the balloons and attached the string with some Glossy Accents. Adhered the girl with dimensional adhesive dots and added a small pearl to the flower on her hair!

I assumed I was done with the card till I realised it looked pretty bare, so not wanting to compromise cluttering the card I decided to add some stitching with my trusty grey pen..





Hope you liked my post, and hope it was worth the loooong wait:-)
