A Groovy Birthday Card

Sue is our Host at Just Us Girls 

and chose a lovely and popular combination

 for our Colour week 

Instead of inking up pretty flowers I went with

inking up a new AALL&Create Stencil

 

Simply stenciled three stencils in red and black,

added a sprinkle of red embossing powder

on the black, splatters, sentiment is

heat embossed with both colours.

Adhered to white card base and that's a wrap!

Of course our Guest Mac Mable and the Team

have made spectacular cards in this weeks colours

so head over and check them all out.

Come join in with yours and you could be

Chic of the Week and be our Guest in June!

So Incredably 'Precious'

 The heading says it all for the card I made for

our New Challenge over at

The Sisterhood of Crafters

I knew what I was going to make as soon as I saw

Sistah Lia chose Slimline Cards.

I don't make many of the large traditional size but

my thistle die is a biggie!

I went with a Mixed Media type of card.

Lindy's Witch's Potion Purple and

Freak Franklin Lime Magical's were used on my Thistle

and  Tim's Faded Jeans oxide ink

on my background as the Scottish flag

is Blue and White.

Added stencilling and stamping

from Visible Image and AALL&Create

and a whitewash to tone it down.

 Kaisercraft Weathered Texture Die

backing my Thistle.

Inked my perfect sentiment 

as a Thistle is to me So Precious.

Tore the edges inked and

adhered to purple ribbon.

Hand drawn squiggles around the edges

adding to white card base.

Here is a close up highlighting the colours better.

Have you checked out what my Sistah's created?

Head over and check them out Here.

We'd love to see your Slimline creation in our Gallery.

PS - it doesn't have to be the Traditional Size

So go for it!

 Time for our New Challenge at

TARTAN /Plaid

A very CAS card using tartan background to 

highlight some holiday greens fromTim Holtz

 sprinkled with snow. Added bells and a pearl,

tied some twine and added to a black frame

onto white card base.
