special day

 
a card in milk and sand coloured card with kraft paper flowers
orginal design again by sue wilson
 
i love how this style of card looks very intricate but is in fact very easy to construct.

feliz cumpleanos


 
a spanish friend of mine just had a special birthday and i was asked to make 2 cards for her for 2 different people!
using the techniques and 'skills' i have recently learned from sue wilson's cards i made these 2 cards
 
the top card is all black and ivory.  the sentiment is computer generated.
 
the lower card is milk card and vellum with silver embossing on a justrite stamp

you make my day brighter


 
2 more almost identical offerings using sue wilson's original as my inspiration.
 
i found it difficult to find a] a nice soft peach coloured card and b] some nice soft peach ribbon to match, so these have become a little brighter than expected lol.
but hey they are a bit cute eh?
 
i'm doing multiples of each card now so that i can give more to the charity.
 
i will be doing even more when i can as i have been told i might have to go into the Sussex Beacon myself soon for a little break .... not been at my best recently!
so i'll have more payback to do!! lol!
we'll see

with love

 
one more for charity using Sue Wilson's design as inspiration
 
the 'glow' on the central motif is reflection off the gorgeous micro beads that are covering the piece.
 
i need to get cracking on christmas cards soon!!

all things wonderful

 
for this design i mbossed a brown coloured card for the base
on a sentiment surrounded by decorative labels eight die, cutting a frame and embossing the main part with other sizes of dies.
my tattered floral is made from krinkly kraft paper edged with black dabber and spritzed with bronze perfect pearl
i added a flourish and butterfly covered in gold embossing powder and mounted the piece onto kraft card.
