Doily delight ...

Good evening!  I hope you've had a good weekend ...

I've managed to squeeze in some crafting time ... not altogether successful ... too much procrastination!  I did manage to create this card for the Calling All Sistahs Challenge:

I die cut the doily twice once in black once in teal, I then pieced the teal pieces into the black doily.  I used to circle dies to remove the centre and to create a frame.  The centre of the doily is foam backed to add some dimension.  I covered the whole image with clear wink of stella to add a little sparkle - you can just about see it in the photographs.

Calling All Sistahs is a great challenge ... the idea is to create a card that will brighten someones day as well as providing encouragement.  

Enjoy!

Always believe ...

I'm just popping by to share a card created for the Calling all Sistahs challenge:

I used a stencil and acrylic paint to create the chrysanthemum and when the paint was dry I added a sketchy outline to the petals using a black fine liner.  I then sliced and diced the image (the first cut is the scariest!) and then adhered them to a square card base.  I had intended adding a sentiment on top of the image but it just did not work so I added it to the inside.

Details of the challenge:

Enjoy!

Exploding Anenome ...

Good afternoon, I hope you are having a good weekend.  I've been busy creating (in between surfing the internet!) and have a card to share.

I stamped and heat embossed the anenome before water colouring with distress inks.  I cut the panel up and placed it around the sentiment, added the panel to the card base and that was all!!

I used:
Indigo Blu Colour Me - Anenome
UNIKO Spring Botanicals: Daffodil
Distress INks - Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade and Squeezed Lemonade
Versafine Onyx Black Ink
WOW Clear Embossing Powder.

I'm entering the following challenges:
