Elegant Damask

I used the the Papertrey ink Damask Stamp set and stamped the elegant large Damask image onto the white card base and added a pearl to the centre.

I also used one of the papers from PTI and using the EK success border punch made a fancy edge and glued it on the bottom part of the card using the punched out shapes from the paper I glue them opposite the border to make a negative pattern then glued one of the shapes onto both top corners.

The card was finished by tying a ribbon just above the border.

Because sometimes the inside of the card is as important as the front of the card this is how I finished this one, I used the EK success border punch on a black paper liner then again on the white printed insert.

Golden Heart

Heart were cut with the Nestabilities cutting 2 of the scalloped and one of the plain heart shapes.

The plain heart was then stamped with a heart stamp made by Impression Obsession and heart embossed with ranger gold fine detail embossing powder and heat set then distressed the edges of the heart.

The larger scalloped heart was embossed using the Swiss dots cuttlebug folder.

The base card is a chocolate shade then a gold square slightly smaller cut and punched at the corners using a 3 in 1 punch

Layered is all up with foam pads and finished with a gold edged ribbon

Harrogate craft fair

I'm off out for the Day with my Mam, we are going to Harrogate Craft Fair and my wonderful brother is to be the chauffeur as I didn't fancy the long drive with a sore hand, mind you there is definitely an improvement this morning.

As I won't be around today I have some exciting free downloads planned for tonight including to Build a Blossom, Polka dot and a Flourish sheet.

Misty Meadow

I had a little play with a couple of sprig stamps and in doing so I have learned that I can also sponge edges with my left hand too, I'm getting to be quite ambidextrous.

the base card is a spring green colour then I layered a paper by HOTP on top folding opposite corners and adding a ribbon below it before sticking it onto the base card.

I took a separate piece of the green card and sponged the corners with a blue in then using the same ink I stamped the sprigs and the sentiment from PTI.

I distressed the edges and cut a couple of slits in the card to thread through the ribbon and tied it at the edge
