Sympathy Card

I decided that I did not have a Sympathy Card and I wanted to have one ready, so I picked out Inspirational Cross 1 from Stamp Art Designs by Kathryne. I added a dimensional layer on lower leaves and the centre flower  and used dimensional adhesive. As soon as I made it I my Mother in Law needed it for a dear friend of hers. A friend of mine designed the sketch for me to use and I used some gingham to contrast with my background paper and colour matched my flower to the gingham. Another girlfriend gave me this lovely ribbon and this worked nicely to match in with my card.

Tilda Easel Card with Pearls and Lace

  On the love heart panel behind Tilda I distressed Kraft card and then stamps flowers and then added the series of tidy dots with my White Gel Pen. I borrowed this love heart Spellbinders locket from my girlfriend Vicki and then used it the sponge the design by placing the spellbinder over my die cut to mask over design,so now it’s embossed and highlighted. I used my Stamp It Sponging Block to distress the edges of a modern pink love heart designer paper panel both inside and on front of card with Kraft coloured ink after I had stamped my flowers. I added lots lace and pearls to create a soft romantic feel to my card and added lots of flowers! I borrowed my girlfriend Vicki’s die to cut the leaves. I added a healthy amount of glitter glue to highlight and I’m so happy with how this card  turned out, even though I didn’t use half the stuff I had out to get my mojo going. It’s funny how cards take a life of their own once you start creating. My husband is glad to have the dining table back for the weekend!

Birdcage Thank You Card

I had so much fun making this birdcage card using pastel colours and dry embossed the inside with more birdcages. I’m really enjoying the Copics to colour in with,and  it’s just so relaxing colouring in. I made this card using pastel colours which is something that I don’t do very often but I really liked it, it’s funny how your taste changes and as you experiment with different styles and colours your cards change with time. The thing I really enjoyed adding to my card were my new small paper lace corners but almost impossible to glue down,any tips?…greatly appreciated!!!   

Inside I embossed birdcages to carry through my theme. 

 

Here are the Copic colours I used.

I used my green ink on the stems and directly applied this to the stamp and daubed a lighter yellow colour on flower and then a second terracotta (darker )colour to add variation to the flower colour and keeping in the same tones as the paper .
