Fairy Home

It's been a while since I made a background scene using inks, so today I decided to make a scene using the lovely Lavinia stamps.  

As I need a card for my daughter who is starting a new job as a town planner next week, I wanted to incorporate a house for this card.  I decided to use the Lavinia 'Mushroom Dwelling' stamp as the main image.  I first stamped the image on a piece of white card, then stamped it again on an offcut, which I cut out to make a mask.  I put the mask over the first image, then made my background using Adirondack inks applied with Ink Dusters.  The mask was then removed and I used Promarkers to colour in the image.  The completed scene was matted on black, before attaching to the white scalloped card.

Christmas in June

It's time for the Rudolph Days Challenge again. Today's card is a simple design that I can easily mass produce.

The embossing folder I used was Cuttlebug's 'Season's Greetings'. The white embossed card was attached to a red card blank and little glittery circle peeloffs added to centre of the embossed snowflakes......and that's it!

A second CAS card today.

I used a Memory Box 'Ocean Corner' die for this card.  This was the die I was looking for, when the die I used in my previous post shouted out at me! ;-)      I stencilled the bottom part of the card with a Memory Box 'Wave' stencil, using a 'Peacock Feathers' distress ink pad.

Welcome to my new follower.  Please let me know who you are so I can put a link to your blog. 

I was at a craft fair recently looking for a particular die, when I spotted this Memory Box 'Sylvan Corner' butterfly die, which just shouted out at me 'buy me! buy me!'. So home it came with me.

I'm back in my comfort zone of CAS today , after making yesterday's shabby chic card. I used a metal shim and the intricate die cut beautifully.  In the top left hand corner there are two solid butterflies and the wings lift up to make them 3D, although you can't see them very well in the photo of my card.  You can see how the die cuts here..... 

I added three little punched butterflies for added detail.
