TGF Shimmer Bean

So Spring is officially here, and the sun is shining down on pretty much all the UK...even Scotland...LOL

So today my card is featuring Shimmer Bean by The Greeting Farm. I have stamped her with Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock. The image has been coloured with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20

I used the Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily Die on one of the Be Happy papers, and have added some tulle, a couple of heart pins, pearl bling, and a Craftwork Cards die-cut sentiment. To the main image I have also added some Stickles in Diamond.

TGF - Flutter Heart

As it was my 23rd Wedding Anniversary yesterday I made a card for my lovely Hubby. I decided that I would do something a little different and use a stamp that didn't require me to colour (although I added a touch of red).
The stamps I used were The Greeting Farm Flutter Heart clear set which I stamped onto Bazzill Kraft cardstock using a black Versafine inkpad. The papers are all My Minds Eye Paris & Co and I have layered them with some Bazzill Kraft cardstock. To cut the postage stamp layer under the main image I have used a Nestabilities Postage Label die, currently out of stock. I have embellished with some pearl bling and tulle to finish off my card.

Be sure to pop on over to the challenge blog to check out this months challenge.

The papers are all Echo Park This & That Charming 6x6 pad and I have layered them with Bazzill Kraft cardstock.

For All That You Do

Hello there, here I have made a card using the My Minds Eye Miss Caroline 6x6 Fiddlesticks Collection. I have tried to make this paper the focal point instead of an image. I have taken the gorgeous damasky type design and cut it into a circle using a Nestabilities die and then added this to a white card blank. I have cut the edge off with scissors and then added a strip of white cardstock which has been cut using {my favourite} MFT Die-Namics Solid Bracket Border die over the top. The greeting from the MFT Die-Namics Framed Greetings Die & Stamp Set has been stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on to another sheet from the MME Fiidlesticks Pad. This has been adhered with 3D adhesive squares. I have cut the small butterfly from the MFT Die-Namics Notched Tag Die & Stamp Set from linen vellum and added with MME Lush Rhinestones in the centres.



Thank you for visiting today, see you next Thursday,
