Wedding Card

Hi All,

Just wanted to share the card I made for my Best Friends Wedding at the weekend. They had a Green and White theme so that's what I went for too.

 You can just about make out in the above picture that I embossed the central panel using clear embossing ink and powder just to add a little extra texture. As well as the foiled sentiment for that extra special touch.

 I tried to keep it fairly simple just adding highlights of the green colour, here and there.

 I also designed and cut out their married names using my Cricut, embossed and highlighted with Crushed Olive DI and placed these down the side of the central panel.

I finished off with a few flowers, some ribbon and a little bit of bling.

I shall be linking up to Make It Monday and Divas by Design.

Death Star Wedding Table Plan

It was my Best Friend's Wedding this weekend which went beautifully and also meant I could breathe a sigh of relief as the Death Star Table Plan was finally finished and also went down a storm - phew.

I did originally design it so it could hang up but in the end we put in on a hat stand which worked perfectly and also gave it that extra support with the actual places and tables for people to sit at hang around the stands pole. 

 Here are a few more close up of the actual names. The Table Names themselves were based on Star Wars which is where the idea of the Death Star came from so each person has an individual scalloped circle with the symbol of their table on one side and their name and table name on the other, each table was then tied together with little bows and hung individually from little rings that I placed at the bottom of the Death Star.

Oh it was also designed to be a Pinata so it is filled with confetti but my Friends decided they didn't want to smash it after all.
I shall be putting another post up soon with pictures of the making process as it took a while, but that's for another time!

Mums Birthday Card

Hi All

I just wanted to share the birthday card I made for my Mum for her birthday last week!! I got the spellbinders butterfly corner as I shall be using it on the envelope flaps for a friends wedding but decided to use it on this card as it's just so pretty!!

 I went for a simple turquoise and white colour combi, and added some extra bling as my Mum likes her sparkle!

And I printed and foiled the sentiment for a little extra special touch, and accented all dies with Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers.

Linking up to Make it Monday, it's been a while ...

Inspired by 12 tags of 2013 January (yes I know it's June)

I based this card on Tim Holtz January Tag of 2013 as I'm trying to catch up, as I have no idea where the year has gone! Apparently it's June already.

 I found this lovely saying and thought it fitted nicely with the theme, so I designed it with various fonts in word printed and foiled it before inking and distressing the card.

I love love love how my tattered poinsettia turned out.  I cut it from chipboard used the metallic distress stains, and was planning to dot them around the card like Tim does with the cogs in his tag, but then I like the layered look and decided to run them through an embossing folder and add little accents of the background colours so it tied in together, adding a pearl in the centre to finish off.

12 Tags of 2013 - June

So I am very late coming to this party this year but thought I'd start here and then maybe try and work backwards and try to catch up :-) So this is my June Tag, which I turned into my Dad's card for Father's day and really just took the background elements.

I really love how it turned out, especially the clear embossing on the base card.

Polymer Clay Heart Card

I thought I'd have a go at incorporating some Polymer Clay into my cards, and after some investigations on Pinterest I found this beauty, and took my inspiration from that, tweaking it just slightly by adding texture to the clay hearts and embossed vellum rather than the mulberry paper.

I just love the (almost) monochromatic look and the dimension the clay adds.  This could be a lovely design for a wedding invitation me thinks.

Bright and Colourful Anniversary Card

Hi All,

It's my Aunt and Uncle's 13th wedding anniversary on Tuesday so today I made them a card.

For some reason I kinda went for very bright colours:

But hopefully it's still fairly simplistic! Fingers crossed they will like it.
