Products Used

I made this using black card as base. I stamped and embossed using Indigo Blu free stamps, For the edges I used the flower/grass stamp,VersaMark ink and Stampendous Clear Deep Impression embossing powder. I then stamped the butterfly onto the card using again VersaMark but adding Cosmic Shimmer Tropic Pearl ultra thick embossing crystals, I stamped a second on to spare blck card and cut this out, overlaying it on top to add movement. To finish off, I added gems, peel offs coloured green using Promarker to compliment and a Little Birdie flower.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and leave such lovely comments!

Boxed

I made this using the Glitter Girls 'bookatrix' board, backing card and peel offs. The Gold base card, I embossed using the Emobossalicious leaf folder. For the flowers, I made them using Spellbinders Blooms 3 and die cut them out of the Glasgow Herald newspaper as the Lady still reads hers everyday!! I coloured the flowers using Cosmic Shimmer sprays. The leaves were die cut out of Glitter Girl gold card using Brittania Rose Leaf die. I added the glitter numbers after colouring pink with Cerise Promarker, finishing off with adding pink lace ribbon around the edge of the card, satin pink and gold ribbon, Brittania 'Congratulations' sentiment, gems, brads, pearls and butterfly die from my stash .... I made the stand out of two layers of Glitter Girl gold mirror card using Joycraft die and made up the Glitter Girl Box adding peel offs and gems ...

Live Life Now ...

Hiya Folks, hope you are all having a lovely weekend and been enjoying the lovely couple of days we have had!! Well I have been busy creating and have made this card using the free stamp in May's Craft Stamper magazine by Visible Image and also their stamp 'Live Life Now'.

Craft Stamper May Issue

On a blank card I stamped the edges using the free stamp with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Seedless Preserves. I softened the image using Pan Pastels Turquoise and Ultramarine Blue to co-ordinate with a piece of scrap watercolour card I found in my stash that I had already coloured using cosmic shimmer sprays in blue, turquoise and purple, unfortunately I can't remember the actual shades!! In the centre I stamped 'Live life now' and used the free flourish stamp round the edges. I topped this on to scrap purple glitter card and finished off with adding a Boutiques Elements flower, a couple of Prima flowers, Santoro buttons, Docrafts bird charm, mirror card die cut using Joycraft florish die and pearls from my stash...
