New home card

Hello,
I've made this card for my niece who has moved into a new home. I'm also entering it into the July Win & Tonic challenge: Black, White plus another - in this case red, which is one of my favourite colour combinations.

I used the Bowscale Layering die set to create the card blank and also the black, white and red mats and layers, this was the first time I'd used the die set. I used the Sew Pretty Home Sweet Home set layered on to the Art Nouveau oval, then these were layered on to mats and layers created using the Cherish the Moment die set. I then finished it off with a few red gems.

I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by.

Husband's anniversary card

Hello,

this is the card I made for my husband on our recent anniversary. I'm also using it to enter the June Win & Tonic challenge - the male card theme.

I used a screen card blank, and I'd not used this kind of card before but I wanted to use up some scraps of paper which fitted really well. The two sentiments are from the Miniature Moments set, and the letters are the inside cuts from the Pretoria set.

The side panels are decorated with the Tangled Posies. You can't see the back of the side panels but I embossed white card using the Amelia folder, dusted it with Tumbled Glass distress ink and then punched butterflies from the backing paper to decorate them.

I hope you like it, thanks for stopping by.

Brother's musical birthday card

Hello,

I made this card for the June Win & Tonic challenge - the male card theme, as I needed to make a card for my brother's birthday.

My brother is really into his music so I used the guitar, treble clef and the perfect harmony dies and downloaded some free music paper from the internet to use as a background paper. I cut the guitar in 3 colours and did a bit of paper piecing on it. The sentiment is from the Miniature Moments collection cut in red with a grey drop shadow to match the guitar.

I cut a couple of inches off the front of the card to create a bit of interest and decorated the right side of the inside of the card.

Hope you like it, thanks for stopping by.
