Christmas sparkle

This is the first Christmas card this year. I love sparkle so Christmas gives me a good reason to use as much as I can.

I have used 2 Christmas trees across the centre of a folded A4 sheet of pearlised card and a selection of 3 different sized snow flakes for the centre piece with a diamanté in the middle. Everything is cut out of Mirri card with the words merry Christmas placed above and below the snow flakes.

A little bit of glitter

This is my second card in the c2cu texture and glitter month

For this card I have put double sided sticky sheet over the black flowers and covered with ultra fine hues glitter. I used green red glitter this makes the black look green and the white look pink. Very easy to do and very affective. Have fun

Felt roses

C2cu challenge this month is textures and glitter. One of my textured cards is this beautiful rose card.

For the roses I have used felt and for the background I cut out a lattice in white and put it onto the card to create an embossed effect. 

The foliage and words are cut out in white and coloured with distressed ink.

Try using felt to get stunning effects. 

Fun in the sun beach colours

This weeks card for c2cu challenge is beach colours and I have kept the colours very pastel to get a dreamy effect.

The backing sheet has been embossed using a crafts too folder, the boat and anchor are from marianne dies. I have used pastels to colour the background and stickles to enhance the embossing and the sea. 

I have gone over all the background with titanium white pastel to subdue the colours.

Have fun

Fun in the sun BBQ invite

This is the third week of the second month of c2cu challenge and for my card of fun in the sun I have created a BBQ invite.

This invite to a BBQ is bright and summery, the border is done with one inch squares of bright spotty paper from a paper block, with a mirror square in the centre. 

The letters are cut out in a bright blue to match the striped apron. 

The utensils are made from a marianne die and I altered the top of the fish slice by cutting the rounded top off and replacing it with a straight piece of card.

A very easy card to do, bright and colourful. I would love to receive this invite.

Colours of the seaside

This is the 2nd card for the second month of the c2cu challenge

I have used marianne shells and starfish dies for the heart, the papers are from a marrianne block.

I have stamped the words onto a piece of card, cut to shape using a crafts too die

The shell are coloured in with yellow, orange and grey inks.

Fun in the sun

This is the second month for c2cu and the theme is fun in the sun

My card this week is a swing card with a  marrianne stamp  and spotty paper from a marrianne paper block. The small flowers are made with a Nellie Snellen punch and emboss set, the stamped picture is coloured in with Sakura pens and tiny diamontes finish the card off. 

Happy days
