just because

 
this is my take on a design on the justrite website
 
I coloured the image with my spectrum noir markers.  i'm especially pleased with the blended shading of the blue background.
I used a piece of heartfelt creations paper under the spellbinders cut out, and a spellbinders flower die as embellishment

special day

 
i've been wanting to reproduce this design from sue Wilson for a while now and finally got round to it!
it is a real stunner I think.
 
the only die cutting is the leafy embellishment, the rest is stamped from justrite stamps
I did use a circle die for the sentiment but just used a rotary cutter for the large gold circle as I don't have a die that size

sue Wilson showed how to make this card in a recent video
 
it is one of her new striplet dies.
 
its been too long since I used gilding flakes!

wishing you ...

 
still on the early Christmas theme
 
I really like this sue Wilson design
 
I stamped a couple of the wreaths and coloured them with spectrum noir.  I snipped one of them apart to add some layers to the main wreath.
 
ive just managed to get hold of this spellbinders frame die [once upon a stamp.co.uk] and glad I did -- it is lovely and will be very useful.

happy birthday

 
ok for a change this is NOT one of sue's cards lol!
 
I found this layout on the justrite website showcasing the new vintage flourish one and vintage lables nine dies and the lovely ironworks / labels eight stamp
 
I coloured the stamp with spectrum noir markers and added dots of cosmic shimmer cristal sparkle pva.  a matted layer of sues embossing folder finished it off nicely.

sue Wilson published this design a little while ago
 
ginger and sky blue card!
I used sue's new embossing folder on the lower half of the card
 
this is also to say 'thank you' to everyone for my birthday wishes today! xx

a frilly card from the house of sue Wilson today!
 
something about this swirly frock appealed to me so I had to reproduce it!!
 
I added some extra bling to the dress with a stella glitter pen but its not very obvious so I might overdo it later!

lavender roses

 
this sue Wilson  design is made using her background die in white with a second lavender coloured cut out offset behind it.
it is raised above a layer of iced snow sparkle
 
I made a spellbinders bloom in the same lavender card and edged it with some lilac glitter
 
no sentiment on this one

just for you

 
an incredibly elegant and so simple design by sue Wilson
 
I used rich ruby card to matt the cut shape using sues striplet die and a simple sentiment.

this delightful sue Wilson design is using her new dies.
the focal element is a clever technique using double sided sticky sheets.  I coloured the flower and leaves sections with spectrum noir for a little more colour intensity. then micro beads are stuck on the top.  lovely effect.

enjoy your day blue and silver

 
the original designer of this card is the very lovely super-smiley lady Julia Watts
 
 
I simplified her design and did not add any extra embellishments, but this is a lovely bright stylish design.
 
I need to make a lot of cards asap because my charity shop has all but sold out!!!
