Spread Your Wings Card

Hi Bloggers,

Today I’d like to share a leaving card that I made for a colleague at work.

I chose a Kraft card for the background that had a grid pattern on it. Then I stamped a honeycomb pattern randomly in two opposite corners.

I used a Fran-tage Embossing Enamel to create the molten gold effect – my current obsession!!!

The large mat is cut at 7” using the Cricut Elegant Edges cartridge and I used the same Fran-tage Embossing Enamel around the edges.

The cogs were cut at 2” from the Cricut Paper Lace 2 cartridge. I covered one with Distress Embossing Powder (love the texture!) and the other with the Fran-tage Embossing Enamel sprinkled with Fran-tage Glass Glitter in Champagne. As the enamel melts, the glitter becomes embedded and the enamel acts as glue – it’s gorgeous!

The main image is made using 3 stamps. First, I stamped the dress. Then I masked it and stamped both the wings.

I used Promarkers to colour the image and sprinkled Fran-tage Embossing Enamel on the skirt.

The text is made using tiny letter stamps.

Hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Elegant Dress Card

Hi Bloggers,
The card I want to share today has a gorgeous "dress" stamped image, coloured with Promarkers (I really do neeeeed to buy more of these!).

For the flower and leaves in the bottom left, I used my Cricut and the Mother's Day 2010 cartridge. I used patterned paper, inked the edges and gave them a little shape to add some dimension.

I used my Cricut again for the banner, threading baker's twine through the holes and knotting the ends.

I added a small cluster of flowers in the top right corner adding gems to the centres.

The frame is cut on my Cricut using the Elegant Edges cartridge (I just can't get enough of that one!), and I have used another one of my favourite products - namely "mesh".

Here's a close up of the dress image.

Hope you like my card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Steampunk Card

Hi Bloggers,


I'm having a run on cards at the moment and thought I'd share a steampunk one I made using one of my favourite stamps (by Kanban).

I used Promarkers to colour in the image.
The mat is a piece of patterned paper, embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder, and highlighted with distress ink in Walnut Stain.

The cogs were cut with my Cricut using the Paper Lace 2 cartridge.
I cut them all from black card. Then I covered one with a gold embossing powder and two with Vintage Photo distress embossing powder.

  
Thanks for stopping by.
