Hugs and kisses

Here is an anniversary card I made using a Martha Stewart punch anywhere on the page heart punch. I then placed paint chips behind the hearts and used a little glitter glue over the top of them. I then stamped the sentiment using Stampin Up Good Greetings stamp set. I matted the white card on a piece of backing card that I ahead painted using Docrafts blush pearl acrylic paint. Finally I finished with three pearls.

A perfect picture

 

 I took a white sheet of plain CS and added a scrap of polka dot pink paper. I then added a strip of pastel yellow on the top half. I cut several banners from colour paint chips and added them below the photo that I had matted on pinky coloured paper. I then lightly stamped some butterflies on the background and used a lid to make the larger circles and an ink dauber to make the smaller ones. I used Stampin ups Gorgeous Grunge to add 'splashes'. I then used the Stampin up banner punch to cut the tiny banners on the right of the photo and added some pastel buttons and stuck it onto some pink bakers twine. I also used the paint chips to cut the large butterflies and used various coloured pearls to finish them off.

Simple beauty

Good morning, here is my take on this weeks colour combination "citrus shades." First I have stamped a flower from Stampers Anonymous Flower Garden with Archival ink. I have then used my distress inks to watercolours the image; I have used Squeezed lemonade, Mustard seed, Spiced marmalade, Peeled paint and Crushed olive. Atter allowing the image to dry I layered on corresponding orange card stock. Direct to the card I have then used The crafters workshop stencil Mini chicken wire reverse to create a background using Spiced marmalade. I have then stamped the sentiment on to cream card, again Stampers Anonymous Perspective, coloured with marmalade and layered onto orange cardstock before adding to the card. To finish I have added a bow with cream string on the flower. CAS! That's all from me today, I hope you enjoy this weeks fresh colour combination. Regards Erika.

Win win on the stash


Well one sheet of yellow cardstock, three sheets of patterned paper, a heart punch, a quote, a corner punch and a couple of ready made embellishments and we are done. I created the layout with relative ease, border punching the yellow cardstock, strip of paper over he top, corner punching the photo and cardstock behind, tearing the paper around the edge and adding the journal block and title. Photo taken of a local English Heritage property with a beautiful garden. This left me with a pile of scraps, not enough to warrant another layout but certainly enough to create a few cards and the positives with this that given the paper choice I'd opted for the cards will be appropriate for male as well as females when it comes to birthdays - so a complete win win! How's your scrapping going lovely people? Catch ya later Virginia
