Anniversary Card

I have an wedding anniversary card to share. The design is based on the current CAS(E) this Sketch challenge. I white embossed a Hero Arts background stamp onto Neenah Desert Storm card stock and wrapped the Platinum embossed sentiment sentiment strip around it. I'm also adding this card to the current A Blog Named Hero's Vellum challenge. Thanks for dropping by!

White and Gold

I made this card based on the current CAS(E) this Sketch and it took me a few goes before coming up with the card below. I had the idea originally to use an embossed brick wall with a flower and a fence... but I decided to scrap it. I then was going to use a wooden panel patterned paper as a background with a butterfly die... then I went back to my original plan and ditched the fence and used a vellum butterfly and a banner sentiment. I decided to emboss with Ranger Liquid Platinum on vellum.... and then I decided to add a little bit to the edges of my brick wall. Voila! I'm adding this to A Blog Named Hero's Vellum challenge and a2z Scrapbooking June Challenge - To Die For. Thanks for dropping by!
I've used: MFT DieNamics Stitched Rectangles, Tim Holtz brick EF, Vellum, Hero Arts Antique Butterfly and sentiment, Ranger Liquid Platinum EP, Versamark and Hero Hues gem.

Purple Tea Rose

I have a Sympathy card to share. I wanted to use vellum with a frame to make it look like an embroidery hoop. I used two Stitched circles dies to make the frame and cut the vellum with the larger die. I white embossed the Hero Arts Classic Tea Flower stamp and coloured the back of it with Copic markers. The sentiment was stamped onto the card base and the frame was mounted with many small strips of adhesive tape to prevent warping. This is a simple CAS card and easy to make! I'm adding this to A Blog Named Hero's Vellum challenge, Less is More - Purple Colour and Addicted to CAS - Petals challenge. Thanks for dropping by!

I've used Hero Arts Classic Tea Flower and Sentiment stamps, Vellum, Lil Inkers Stitched Circles Dies, Copic Markers, Hero Arts white EP, Versamark.

Still more Christmas Cards!

I have another Christmas card to share. I've had this background stamp from Hero Arts for a while now and it has never been inked up. As I recently got some Hero Arts card stock, I thought I'll try inking this up with Field Greens mid-tone ink. I loved it so much, I inked up 4 cards at the same time. As time was running out to post this, I just finished the one card to share today. I've used silver embossing on vellum for the main image and sentiment. and glitzed it up with some glitter tape and sequins. I'm adding this to Virginia Views' challenge - All About Glitter (so sad that this will be the last one!) I've enjoyed all the challenges! I'm also adding this to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - Let it Snow! (Snowflakes on the bauble...)

 

ABNH Metallic Challenge

It has been really hard to get my mojo going this week. I decided to go for a very simple card for this week's A Blog Named Hero challenge. I knew I wanted to use heat embossing with my favourite EP - Ranger Liquid Platinum. The rest was easy when I spotted my HA big flower stamp and used vellum to stamp on. As I've used up nearly a packet of Kaisercraft pearls for this card, I'm adding this to Virginia View's Embellished Challenge. Here is my card and thanks for dropping by!

Blue for Autism Awareness

This is a very CAS card featuring the colour blue for Autism Awareness week. I've used the current Retro Sketch for inspiration with stamps from Hero Arts and Mama Elephant. I'm also adding this to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Birthday Challenge, Autism Awareness Blog Hop and Virginia View's Layers challenge.

Thank you for dropping by, I'll be back later with some Easter tags!

Summer Card Camp Week One Sketch 2

This is my second sketch for Week One of the Online Card Class Summer Camp. The background, if you look carefully is embossed vellum but not too closely just in case you see the 'invisible' double sided tape I used!! I will try and do the third sketch before the weekend! The next challenge is to make a 10 minute card! The colours of the card is based on the colour palette for Week One which is very similar to this week's Color Throwdown colours!. Thanks for dropping by!
