Celebrate

 

Card idea from Mixed Up Crafts, I've just altered it very slightly.

Card is 6 x 6 inches, and the front piece is acetate.

Sentiment die and stamp by Chloe

Cog dies are Sizzix, papers by Crafters Companion.

Impossible Card

I spotted several of these 'Impossible' cards on Pinterest recently and thought I'd have a go at making one.
My favourite tutorial videos are usually about ten or fifteen minutes long, just enough time to enjoy a cup of tea whilst watching them.

The particular video I watched for the Impossible card went on for quite a long time.
After about thirty minutes I just had to switch it off but at least I had all the vital measurements.

I sat down to make the card and then realised the measurements did not work. So, now I know why it's called an Impossible card!

I wouldn't let it beat me but it's not possible that I'll be making another one ;)
The gears/ cogs are Sizzix dies, sentiment is by Crafter's Companion.

Celebrate

The patterned paper is from My Minds Eye "Andrea Victoria" collection, I added Glamour Dust to some of the flower heads (are they flowers? well whatever they are, some of the little circles on the tips are glittery now).

Matted and layered on pearlescent ivory and charcoal cardstock. "Celebrate" is a Sizzlit die.

Magnolia image coloured with Copics and highlighted with Glamour Dust.
Sentiment is a Sizzlit die and gems have been dotted about on the cardstock. Butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch.

House Mouse

Another House Mouse coloured with Copics. This one is called "Sweet Success".

I have added some Glossy Accents to the lollipops for a bit of shine and also used a white gel pen for some highlights. I'm not 100% happy with the colours but never mind :)

The 'Celebrate' is a Sizzlits die and I made the background paper spotty just using a small circle punch and then turning the pieces over (the card is textured on one side so turning it over means the spots stand out a bit more).
