A quick and easy card to make lots of in one go!!

I LOVE LOVE this snowflake die it had to be my favourite!

I used centura pearl card for the snowflake and coloured

it with ink t give a soft pearl look.

The snowflake is glued together with 3D glue to give

it dimension in between each layer.

I know it's early yet to be thinking of Christmas.....

but last year I ended up sending bought cards.....

so I thought I'd get on early this year !!

Thinking about you

Thought I would share this card I made for my friend with you.

I know it arrived safe so I am safe sharing it now !! lol

These are my favourite papers from the Birds and Blooms paper pad

from Heartfelt Creations and I now have no more !!

Yes I used my best papers !! lol!! 

I made the flowers a little different to how I made these before.

I used the same size die cuts on top of each other, 

than decreasing ones. It gives a very different flower!

The flowers are the Botanical Rose from Heartfelt Creations

as is the stamp and the flower centres.

I used ColorBox Berryliscious and Harvest chalk inks for the flowers.

Hope she likes it !! 

Have a great day and Happy crafting !

Last week over at Splitcoast Stampers I was very honoured

to have been chosen to be Featured Stamper of the week.

We had so much fun! I was very honoured to have been chosen.

So this week I thought I would join in the fun !

This week Cary Davies is the featured stamper.

I cased this card of hers, click on it to take you to her blog.

I changed the vellum behind the card to two distressed layers 

on top of the card and the sentiment onto the layers.

I also decorated the inner to co-ordinate.

I used Heartfelt Creations Blazing Poppy collection papers,

stamps and dies on my card. The sentiment is from the 

Heartfelt Sentiments cling set.

Happy crafting !!

A field of Poppies

Oooh I am loving these ! I have had great fun scrunching and making the flowers

and colouring up the stamped images. 

I love colouring with my waterbrush and this time I used Distress markers with it.

Would you believe this card started out life as a box !!! 

Hehe I cut and coloured four of these images to make a box with

and this is what happened !!! lol!! 

I decorated the inner with the lovely corner poppy stamp.

It was only after I had made the card I thought about this, I think it adds 

a little bit of sunshine to the inner too!
