Happy 50th Birthday in Paris

I have another shaker card to share which I made at our Craft Retreat last month. The background was inked with Distress Oxides with some Perfect Pearls mist and white paint splashed on top. The glimmer on the background is better in real life. The rest of the card was constructed with dies from MFT and Simon Says Stamp. I added the '50' when I got back as I wanted to use it for a 50th birthday card. The full list of materials used are listed below. I'm adding this to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Happy Birthday Challenge. Thank you for dropping by!

Materials:
Dies: MFT Paris Skyline and Numbers, Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle Die
Card: Kaisercraft Glitter card
Inks: Distress Oxides Broken China and Vintage Photo, Perfect Pearls Mist, White paint
Sequins: Assorted sources

Two Challenges

I'm back with a quick card I made today. It's been a busy weekend and I had no time to make anything until everything (household stuff) was done on Sunday night. I wanted to use this stampset for a wedding card and combined two challenges at the same time:- Fusion Card Easter Challenge and Winne and Walter Rerun - Big Bold and Extras challenge. Here is a combination of the two!

Materials used:
Stamps - Winnie and Walter and Hero Arts
Paper - Kaisercraft High Tea
Inks - Versafine, Momento and Copic Markers

Orchids for Mother's Day

Thank you to all the lovely comments received on the A Blog Named Hero 10th Anniversary Blog Hop last week! The winners of the Blog Hop were announced here. There sure were quite a few inspirational posts from some remarkable ladies! I'm back with another one of my cards made during a recent Craft Retreat. This one is for Mother's Day and I've used my Mother's favourite flower in this card combined with my MIL's favourite colours. Yes, I made two of them at the same time!

Here is my card and thank you for dropping by!

A 21st Birthday Album for Lauren

I have another 21st album to share from a client order all the way from the United Kingdom. I received the order just before going on the craft retreat a few weeks ago and I was able to work on the album at the retreat. I made this album vintage style in keeping with the album she saw on my blog. The album is quite easy to make with two pieces of cardstock joined to make a concertina album. The pages within the album are all 6.5x6.5 patterned paper from Kaisercraft. All my patterned paper pads at home are all missing pages with not many patterns on them!! I painted the numbers with Kaisercraft paint and heat embossed the Hero Arts Leafy Vines background stamp in gold. The edges are sponged with gold paint - all the materials I used are listed below.
I'm adding this to Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Things with Wings and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes. Thanks for dropping by!

Papers - Kaisercraft Curiosity
Paint - Kaisercraft, Viva Decor Gold paint
