Simply Cards & Papercraft 192 Nautical Scenes

Hi Everybody,

Another little scene builder die set is the lovely gift with this months Simply Cards & Papercraft and it will  be in the shops on the 30th May.

The coloured scene is added to a 5x7 card base and I used Spellbinders Matting Basics to make the frame

The video will show you how I did it and it's not a long one today.

Don't forget that the second Box Kit from Card Making Magic is also on sale on the 30th and is well worth taking a look at.

Lacey Collection Nested Rectangles

Hi Everybody,

This week is going to be a busy week for me and I have lots of samples to make for the Hochanda show later this week.

Also the second box kit will be out for you to buy, but more about that tomorrow.

This card is really pretty and made with the A2 

Lacey Nesting Rectangles from the Craft Stash

and the bear is an image from my stash, and she is raised up with foam tape to create shadow and interest 

I used my new Arteza Water Colour Brush Pens to water colour her and they blended really well for a lovely effect.

I threaded all the Rectangle Frame with pink organza ribbon and added a bow at the bottom. The verse is from the new ones Set 2 in this Lacey Collection.

It's a fun card that I enjoyed making and  I am sure with a Birthday Sentiment it would please some little girl  for her special day
