Card for Penny

I made this card for my forum friend Penny.

She has been so brave in facing what life has thrown at her and I've never known her to moan about it. Wishing you a speedy recovery Penny.

Spring themed Tag

Wrinkle free distress with a Spring themed tag was the forum challenge for March, which I set. Sorry I'm so late with posting mine girls I got a wee bit behind last month!

The letter S is embossed metal, I think the scanner has made it look black when in fact it's a bright shiny silver colour.

This also fits in with this weeks Tag You're It! theme of "On a bough" thanks for the reminders.

Birthday card and Calendar

I've made this card for Carol one of my forum friends. Using A stardream card base then added a layered Hero arts Floral grid background stamp plus a bit of bling. I made the flower from die-cut grungepaper painted with Viva precious metals then splashed a bit of starburst inkstains on it for toning.

The Calendar was started on a 8"x 8" chipboard blank. Viva Terra was used to create the texture along with a variety of rubber stamps, Acrylic paints and glimmer mist. Leander and Lin have some cool tutorials on their blogs. It's one of the techniques we learnt at the last Artsy craft weekend. Latest details here.

Ready steady stamp week 2

I thought I'd try to complete the Ready Steady Stamp Challenge the ingredients you can see listed below.

The triangle and sun are both very bright yellow card stuck down on a acetate sheet folded A5 card size. The sun is also stamped onto acetate to give it more depth. The little girl is holding the ribbon going all the way to the sun as if it were a balloon. Sorry the scanner doesn't show the acetate very well. I hope you like it. I've had great fun making it!
