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.

Blue fairy birthday

Hello,

this is the card I'm using to enter the Tonic Win & Tonic competition, I made it for my sister-in-law's birthday. She likes fairies and one of her favourite colours is blue.

I used the Tonic Moonglade Wish fairy die cut in a silvery white embossed card and mounted on to dark blue card, then cut the fairy again in pale blue and mounted it over the fairy in the large die cut.

I also cut an extra set of wings in vellum and decorated the wings with Nuvo Pure Sheen diamond glitter. The side panels are decorated using the Dotty Lace punch, and the inside with the Star trail die, although you can't see that.

The sentiment is from the Miniature moments die set cut in the silver with a dark blue drop shadow.

I finished it off using some pearls as decoration.
