Thank You

Good Morning.

Today I would like to share with you a Thank You card. I don’t know about anyone else, but I have done a few of these lately.

For this card I trimmed a 7x 5” card down slightly.

I then die cut the Creative Expressions Leafy frame die out of gold card.

Then I trimmed the gold card to fit the card front.

The background is made from white card which added two shades of purple pixie powders,

Sprayed with water to make the powders burst.

I cut this down to go behind the leafy frame.

From the off cut of the Purple background, I die cut the flowers.

For the flowers I used CE Forget Me Not dies.

I then die cut some leafs from green card.

I then die cut the Thank You and the mat in purple and gold.

Love in the Air

 Good morning. 

Today I would like to share another Love card.

For this I again used a 6x6” scalloped card blank.

The Gold mirri card was die cut with Creative Expressions Swirly leaf die.

The image is from a Lili of the Valley stamp.

Coloured with Spectrum Noir Classique markers.

I then cut the image out with CE Double Pierced Squares, 

but I cut out around the balloon first and popped this over the die so it stays attached.

Oh Dear!

 Well that didn’t quite go to plan, I was intending to blog every couple of days, but unfortunately I caught COVID-19 and have been quite poorly for the last week or so! Anyway, I am feeling much better now, if very tired, so I am going to try to make some cards room the images I have been colouring in over the past few days. 

For this card I used the outer die from the Creative Expressions ornate pierced rectangle die, and drew around it to get my base card.

I then coloured some card with Honeydew Matt Chalk polish.

I put this through the Diamond poinsettia embossing folder.

I then went over the embossing with custard Matt Chalk polish.

The image is a Lili of the Valley topper, which was die cut with the medium die from the set. 

I then added three gems along the corners.

I like the bright, freshness of this card.
