Deeper Blue

Hi Everybody,

This card has a deeper shade of blue to it  today but the background is still sparkled with spray adhesive and glitter from Glitter Magic

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts   ... they have been sparkled with the same glitter and the pearl flourish is from Want2Scrap

I have added in white leaves from the Foliage set to this display and I inked the card while it was still in the die.

The blue ribbon is from Mei Flower  and was already that shade when bought.

The sentiment is from Crafters Companion  and the embossing is from the folder that came with the EBosser machine.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Colored Organza Ribbon ...

Hi Everybody,

This card has a really delicate shade of blue for the ribbon and the flowers and it has been colored with the Isopropyl method and Spectrum Noir that I shared with you a few days ago.

I used the TB4 refill and I am very pleased with the result.

So here is a card for Mothers Day ... which is not far away in the UK

For the background I have used the square shape from the Parisian set and cut it six times then sprayed it with adhesive and added a really pale blue glitter from Glitter Magic

I have interlocked them and added them on foam pads under the ovals.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and started off as plain white.

The diamante ribbon centre is also from WOC and I have added it n green to compliment the leaves.

The sentiment is from the JustRite Stamps and I have stamped it in blue and clear embossed it.

The diamante tear drops are from Want2Scrap

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Butterfly Corner ...

Hi Everybody,

The Decortive Corners card that was shown a few days ago sparked off the question ... "Can you do this with any other die"  and so another video was born.

Because the answer is a resounding  "Yes"  and you just need to look at your dies carefully to see what the cutting edge is like and where it is.

This card is created using the Butterfly Corner die and that is  the only die I have used.

But by careful cutting you can have another lovely style of card ... and the video will show you how I made the card.

And don't forget that in this style of card the back is just as important as it will be seen.

You could even line the inside of the card f you wished as that too can be seen through the card as the photograph illustrates.

This is just one way that the die can be used and there are many many more ways too.

Just look at your dies, think outside the box and take the plunge .... don't be scared ... just do it ... and have fun in the process.

After all it's only card and if you make a mistake .... so what, start again

The  "Give Away"   is still running until Saturday so add your name for the chance to win some goodies

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
