Congratulations .....

Made this card with lots of white space ....

I used a white 5 x 5 inch card blank as the base. I die cut a smaller white  card matt and layered this on red card to form a thin border, stamped this with a text stamp (Dina Wakley) in Versamark ink and heat embossed this with bright gold embossing powder. over this I then added two pieces of fine craft wire in gold and red twisted and attached on red line tape.

I then die-cut a butterfly from some Washi paper (MemoryBox) and applied this over the wire. I added two red adhesive gems on the body of the butterfly along with three gold/orange sequins.

The matt was applied to the base on foam pads and the word 'Congratulations' stamped directly in Versafine black ink to finish.

Pearly squares ....

A set of Inchies made for a swap in UK Stampers Forum ....

I punched out the 1 x 1 inch bases from recycled board from cartons and then chose some mushroom fleck card and stamped a flower stamp in Versamark ink which I heat embossed with opal pearl embossing powder.  I then selectively punched out 1 x 1 inch squares from this background and applied to the bases.

I applied a fine stripe of redline adhesive tape to each and sprinkled with Beadazzles to decorate. A thin strip of black paper lace was then applied next to this as shown.

I coloured some adhesive pearls with grey Copics to match and applied as shown.  Each Inchie was then edged in brown Versamagic Chalk ink to finish.

My Heart ........

Happy Tuesday everyone !!  This is a card recently made in the CAS style (plenty of white space).  I started with a 5.5 x 5.5 inch plain white card and cut a slightly smaller matt in more white card to work on.

I cut some more white card into 1 inch strips and applied Tim Holtz tissue tape in a double row onto these strips.  They were cut into various lengths and then cut into as shown to act as bunting.

The matt was then stamped with Distress Inks in Crushed Olive and Fired Brick with an inksplat stamp from Tim Holtz.

I next took some red card and diecut a stitched heart.  The pennant pieces were applied on redline tape at the top and raised with foam pads.  I then cut a few nicks out of the matt and wound the fibres rouns as shown starting and finishing with some adhesive tape behind the matt to hold it in place.

The heart was then placed as shown and mounted on foam pads.  I then stamped the sentiment (Woodware) in Versafine black ink and addedd a bit of hand drawn decoration with a Micron Pen.

Final touch was to add three self adhesive sparkly gems.
