Be Yourself ...

 Hi Everybody,

Todays card is created from  some Altenew dies and pink glitter card, and the overall effect is vibrant and cheerful

I did an ink smooshed background behind the die cut panel.

The panel is made from the two dies that go to make up the Layered Plaid

There are several looks you can get with this die cut simply by changing the colours of the card that you use

And of course the same applies to the flower.

I added one of the Card Making Magic Pearl flourishes along the side just to add that finishing touch.

I got my dies quite some time ago from Sevenhills Crafts but I don't know if they are still available to purchase.

The glitter card is from Craft Stash along with the flourish

Happy Birthday Mum

 Hi Everybody,

This was a card I made some time ago and I have to say it is one of my favourites.

I love the flowers and the tiny organza butterflies as well as the colour scheme and the diamante.

I used the Alphabet set from my own dies and I covered them with Glossy Accents and a little shake of glitter.

I don't have a mum to send this too but I would be very happy if someone sent something like this to me

The Distress Oxides that i used are Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon. 

They always make a beautiful blend  whenever I use them and Distress Oxides blend so easily too

You can just amke out the spattered effect that I did with water onto the background and this just lifts a little bit of colour from the inks

Large Heart Box

Hi Everybody,

This new Heart Box Die Set comes to you in two different sizes so that you can choose which one serves your needs the best. 

This is the large one and it will hold a good many chocolates ... need I say more !!

This is another colour scheme for the box. 

Leave the flowers off if this is to be given to a man.

But even they like chocolates and Valentines Day is on the way too so what could be better.

Get his favourite ones and add some tissue paper to the box and you will have a lovely little gift to give to your nearest and dearest  on that special day.
