Slim Line Birthday...

 Hi everyone, hope you are all having a wonderful month.

I have been seeing lots of slim line cards recently and have been itching to have a go.  So after having a play I have managed to create my first. 

I created my background using Distress Oxides  and a little water then followed with  a splatter of white paint and grey ink.

After colouring my image I have added a touch of Nuvo Clear Sparkle to the blue green flowers for a bit of shine.

supplies used:

Stamp & matching Die Pink Fresh Studio - Just a Little Lovely

Sentiment Stamp & matching Die Elizabeth Craft Designs - Celebrations

Distress Oxides - Seedless Preserves, Spun Sugar & Picked Raspberry

Fabulous you.....

Hi everyone, just dropping in today to share my card for the start of this months challenge over at Bizzy Becs.

What a strange, unpredictable time we are all sharing.  I do hope that you and your family are all keeping well and for the crafters out there, able to get a small amount of time to play on your crafty projects.

I have started re organising my craft space albeit very carefully as unfortunately last week I cut my finger on a mandolin and have to be gentle with it until it fully heals.

I chose my elements for my card for ease of use due to my finger and have coloured up the die cut using Distress Oxides.

Supplies used:

Sizzix Thinlits Tim Holtz - Wildflower Stems # 1

Sue Wilson Mini Expressions die - Fabulous

Lawn Fawn Die - Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables

Lawn Fawn Die - Large Stitched Circle Stackables

Pink Fresh Studio (Stamped Sentiment) - Just a Little Lovely

Tim Holtz Distress Oxides - Worn Lipstick,Tattered Rose, Crushed Olive, Mowed Lawn, 

Fossilized Amer & Ground Espresso

Just a Lovely - Bouquet....

Hi everyone, just popping in to share my newest card.


This  is one that I made for my sister who this week celebrated her birthday.  I love how the card came together I even managed to incorporate a shaker into the card.  They are one of my very favourite cards to make - so fun.  

The use of the gold foil card as a backing, for the sentiment and numbers  combined with the gold and coppery sequin mix ties it all together.

The image was coloured with Copic Markers and detailed with Prisma Coloured Pencils.
