Balloon Ride....

Hi everyone.

Just popping in today to share my latest card.

For the background I used Distress Oxides by applying the colours to a stamping block and spritzing them with water and then sploshed them onto my Bristol Board background, first with Broken China and then using Mermaid Lagoon.  Using my water brush I then flicked the Mermaid Lagoon onto the background.  I followed this by flicking some Interior Antique Gold - Brush n Leaf.

The lovely teddy image from Penny Black was coloured with Copic Markers.

Supplies used:

Penny Black Transparent Stamp - Balloon Ride

Avery Elle Die - Wonky Stitches

Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Pads - Mermaid Lagoon

                                              -  Broken China

Copic Markers

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.
