It’s a bit like Narnia

This LOTV die cut makes me think of Narnia becuase there is a postbox in the middle of the woods! I thought of using it when I saw some lovely tree inspiration photos for challenges. I used a great sketch but had to flip the embellishments so I didn’t cover the best bits of my background layer! I used distress ink around the edges of the card.

The tree paper was from stash and the snowflake paper was from the Snowman selection. I also used black card from stash.

I used my LOTV let it snow sentiment stamped in blue with added stickles and pearls. I punched two black snowflakes, added silver ink over the top, cut them up and stuck them to the back of the sentiment.
My snowflake embellishments were punches from blue glitter paper and black paper with added silver ink effect. I stuck them together and on two of them added a blue snowflake gem and to the third I added a bead that looks like a snowball with glossy accents and added some pearls.

Girly winter in pastels!

I needed to make a girly Winter card ready for a birthday in December. When I saw the beautiful inspiration card photo for the Ribbon Reel Challenge (see end of post) I knew the pastel flower theme together with my Winter angel digi would be perfect.

 I made the flower paper with the roses wreath on the computer using Craft artist. I blended Distress ink on the paper and I used Promarkers to colour the flowers on the paper. The Winter Fairy digi was coloured with pastel Promarkers and then I used somepink, light green and white stickles on some parts of the image.

I made the background paper by stamping repeated flower patterns using purple and blue ink.

The LOTV sentiment was stamped in purple onto card which had been distressed. The frame was stamped as well and decorated with 4 pearl embellishments. I punched the corners of the frame and threaded ribbon through. I coloured the flowers on the ribbon using the dusky pink Promarker and stickles.

I made the flower embellishment. The two layers of flowers from stash were distressed and decorated with pink stickles on the bottom layer and white on the top layer. I then removed the flower head off a flower pin using cutters and added it with glossy accents.

Another card featuring my new Autumn Happiness digi. The colours are from gorgeous inspiration photos (see below).

I blended purple distress ink round the outside of the card and on the sentiment card. I ripped the textured purple paper layer. I made the leaf with orange cross stitch layer using Craft Artist on my computer and then used green distress ink blotted around the outside with a sponge.

I coloured my digi with Promarkers. I stamped my LOTV sentiment using purple ink onto my purple distressed card.

Used this lovely Winter fairy digi stamp for another Christmas card. I was trying to use up some scraps from previous cards in colours I don’t use so much.

I made the snowflake paper for a challenge and wanted to use it up. The light blue card was scraps. The card, image, sentiment and snowflakes are all different shapes to fit the challenges.

I coloured the Winter fairy digi with Promarkers and added some glitter using stickles. I stamped the LOTV sentiment and mounted it on a snowflake punched from scrap glittery blue card.

I made the snowflakes by punching 4 from green, rust and light blue slitter scrap paper. I also used disterss inks and a watercolour brush on white scrap paper and used that for the last snowflakes. I layered the snowflakes and added the blue embellishment from stash (kept forgetting I had them!).

I embossed the thin light blue scrap paper with snowflakes and highlighted with blue ink. I used a ribbon punch and threaded some scrap ribbon through. I added faux stitching with a Promarker and more embellishments.

I wanted to make a card for a female friend who is very supportive and we enjoy chatting over a cup of tea. I thought a vintage/ distressed look was appropriate. I thik this is real girl power- the support we give each other!

I used a LOTV die cut but added in some extra colour using Promarkers in a couple of places and added  Background too. Papers were from stash and the cream card at the back was coloured using brown distress ink as were the edges of the card and die cut.
The ribbon is a beautiful brown and beige.
Not a colour combination I use mch but I like it for this card!

First time using distressing today.

I used lavender and brick red distress inks on the edge of the LOTV die cut. I used textured paper and used the two distress inks on them. I ripped the edges of the smaller paper.

I couldn’t get a very good photo of the flowers I put together. They are made of two layers of petals which I highlighted with the distress inks and then pink glitter glue. I put them together with glossy accents and added a pearl embellishment to the middle.
