Good Luck



A 'happy accident' card.

I used distress inks for the yellow background, it was originally for something else but I made a mistake on it. Then I stamped the black frame (Phill Martin stamp) and made another mistake - there was a big black ink smudge in the middle...used a square die to cut that out...then tore the frame...so used a butterfly die-cut to cover the tear! I mounted the yellow frame on foam pads.

I wasn't sure what to use on the inside of the frame but could see a small pot of bronze gilding flakes on my desk, I decided to stamp a Lili of the Valley greeting with tacky glue and added the gilding flakes.
To say it was all a "make it up as I go along" card I am pleased with how it turned out :)

Friend




Card I made recently for my friend Dawn, she loves hedgehogs.
The colours are slightly out, the stamped card is actually a pale blush pink.

Hedgehog stamps were unbranded from ebay, I've used SU copper embossing powder.
'Friend' die by Sue Wilson.
In hindsight I don't think I should have distressed the edges but Dawn loved the card so never mind :)

Flowers



This is an 8 inch square card blank and I've added a purple matt before die-cutting a circle from the front.
Inside there's a lilac matt plus the stamped image. The stamp is by Woodware and I think one of the largest I've ever used!

Thank You



Card is 7 x 7 inches and was inspired by one I'd seen on Pinterest by Shawn de Oliveria

Flower stamp by Stampin' Up! which has been heat-embossed on watercolour card. The image was coloured using SU ink pads and a water brush.

I started with a piece of water colour card four inches high but about six inches wide and stamped the image. I've then fussy cut the left hand side of the stamped flower and used a paper trimmer at the top and bottom of the image to trim it to four inches square.

Sentiment is a Sue Wilson die
