Blue stars ....

Made a Clean & Simple starry swirl Christmas card ....

Using a 6 x 6 inch square white card base I applied a white matt with a stitched edge. I then embellished with a blue metallic star swirl and similar with pale blue paper. I then applied three silver glitter snowflakes decorated in the centre with a silver pearl. I added dimension with foam pads on each layer ....

The sentiment was stamped in black Versafine and reads 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas'

Love .....

Just finished an 'I Love You' card ....

I die-cut the heart embelishment from some metallic iridescent paper.  The background was made in three matted layers. The top layer was coloured with blue and orange Distress Inks applied by foam pad to achieve a shaded effect. Some water splats were added and ink removed with a tissue. The matt was stamped with the 'Love Makes The World Go Round' sentiment in black Versafine ink. The die cut applied as shown and three turquoise sequins applied with Glossy Accents.

This was matted onto larger mats of orange and black before being stuck onto a white card blank to finish .....

Rosy ....

Made a couple of foam stamps using some rose dies ....  I have then used them to make a mailart postcard for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum ....

I cut some white card to 6 x 4 inches and coloured with blended Distress inks in Worn Lipstick and Fired Brick, splashing with water and lifting some colour.

I then used the foam stamps with Versamark ink and a number of iridescent metallic heat embossing powders to make the design as shown. A die-cut insect (made from foil paper, stamped with black Stazon) and a printed word, edged with Brilliance ink.

The card was strengthened by layering on re-cycled packaging and finished by edging with gold Krylon pen before spraying with acrylic sealant to protect through the post.

Dragonfly .....

We are running a monthly Challenge over on UK Stampers Forum to use a circulating stamp from each person in a make ..... this one is mine using a members stamp ! Decided to make a tag !

I started by inking the stamp with Versamark ink and used black embossing powder to heat emboss the design onto white card.  This was then coloured using Distress Oxide inks (the embossing resisting the ink).

This was trimmed out and matted onto a piece of iridescent foiled paper which was subsequently matted onto black card.

The die-cut dragonfly has been cut from more foiled paper and applied with pearl brads over the image. I used a piece of gold foiled Washi tape saying 'Hi There'.

Finishing touch was to add a piece of folded silver ribbon secured with a red staple.

Shimmer .....

A set of Artist Trading Coins made for a swap in UK Stampers Forum .....

The bases are die-cut from recycled card packaging and measure 2.5 inches in diameter.  I have covered the base in a metallic shimmer foil which has been stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with black embossing powder.  I have also added some square sequins around the clock dial.
