First of three

This for one of the instructors who is on maternity leave at the moment. She is a very quiet, genteel girl so I thought this stamp by Kanban fit the bill nicely. I cut a large die from a set by Go Create plus the slightly small one for the paper by LOTV. I gently distressed the edge using tea dye. The large 21 is by Woodware 21st Birthday which I paper pieced with scraps from my stash. The stamp and greeting I have embossed and coloured with copics and just added a thin line of silver Stickles glitter glue. The flourish dies are by Cheery Lynn and I think the flower die is too.

Wedding Day

My son asked me to make a wedding card for his friend who is getting married in June and this is what I came up with. I embossed some white card with a rose folder by Embossalicious and distressed the edges. This was mounted onto an eight by eight card. The very fancy die is Anjas Vintage Decoration by Marianne. I cut two of these and positioned them in the centre of the card leaving a gap in the middle which is where I placed the other two die cuts. This set is by spellbinders and again I distressed the edges. I have used All Occassions Dies for the names. The swirls are by Cheery Lynn and all the flowers are from my stash. The sentiment on the ribbon bow is by LOTV.

Christmas Angels

I decided to do an easel card for my best friend. I used this cute LOTV stamp of angels paying homage to the Holy child. I embossed the image then coloured with copics, adding a little glitter to the Angels wings and the stars. I had the blue Craft Creations Christmas paper in my stash which I used for the whole card. I cut the image and the darker blue mount using spellbinders nestie. Out of the same dark blue card I cut the snowflake border and the large snowflake using Joy dies. I also cut a holly swirl from the same card using a Cheery Lynn die. The snowflake border acted as the raised edge for the easel to rest against. I then cut another large snowflake, the holly swirl and the Merry Christmas, also by Cheery Lynn, from white glitter card. One I placed at the top left corner of the image and the other, plus the swirls, I overlaid with the blue ones and mounted on the front of the card. Merry Christmas mounted on the blue placed at the bottom. I added Christmas sentiments inside.
