Gorgeous Girl

 Hi there! Last month I was a Guest Designer for Uniquely Creative using their Mini kit 'Gorgeous Girl'. 

Here is another card using the kit, but this time I used only part of the stamp to make floral borders.

To begin I made a smooshed background with Distress Oxide Salvaged Patina.  Next I stencilled in 2 corners with the same ink.  The flowers were stamped with the same ink again and embossed with Silver Pearl Embossing Powder.

The butterflies are also from UQ and were stamped on Vellum and embossed.

52 Christmas Card Throwdown

  Hi there! I'm back with another card for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. This week Lucinda, our host, has given us a fun theme ... 'Tags on Cards'!

I stencilled the tree background on to watercolour card and then die-cut the tag, adding the die-cut snow slope. Next I stamped, coloured and fussy-cut the critters. I stamped the sentiment in red and layered another red tag behind to add a bit more colour. To finish, I added twine a mounted on a card with an embossed panel. 

You can see more wonderful cards from our Guest and the rest of the Design Team at our blog. 

I hope you'll be inspired to join us this week!

Waddle I do?

Hi there.  I pulled out the very cute 'Penguin Pals' stamp set from Uniquely Creative to make a quick card for a couple of challenges.

This was quick and easy to make. I coloured the images with Copic Markers and stamped the sentiment and snowflakes with Memento Ink.  The window die is from MFT.
