Hi All,
Another day, another card! I really should be making wedding invites but this just came to me last night and I had to make it there and then. It's another Spellbinders card and I have used kraft cardstock again.
After pink, turquoise is definitely my next favourite colour. The turquoise colour on this card is from Coredinations cardstock. I stared with an 8x8 piece and attached to my card blank with double sided sticky tape. My main layer is kraft cardstock which I embossed with an Embossalicious embossing folder that I had inked with Versamark on the debossed side. I ran it through the Grand Calibur and then covered in white embossing powder before heating with my heat tool. I inked around the edge with Broken China Distress Ink from Tim Holtz. My ribbon is Creative Expressions Silky Crush in gold and Ribbon Kings sheer ribbon in turquoise.
I used the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Ovals for my base topper and inked again with the DI. The pearls, from Creative Expressions, were all in one but I cut in half and then added on top. I used the Spellbinders Standard Ovals Large in Coredinations and kraft for the next layers and stamped the same Thank You sentiment stamp in Broken China again.
I hope you have lovely plans for the weekend. I'm sure it'll be Monday before we know it!
Happy crafting,

Hello Crafty Friends,
Second post this week already! Can you tell I've been on holiday since last week?! I said I was going to make 3 Christmas cards a day while I was off but I've only managed 3 so far and I've been off for a week! Ah well, it's only July!
This is a super sparkly card today. I love making sparkly things!
I started with three wooden tree embellishments and inked up a swirly Debbi Moore stamp with Versamark. I stamped on to the trees and then added Cosmic Shimmer embossing powder which was heated with a heat tool. I added Tim Holtz Bundled Sage Distress Ink over the top of the embossing so that the swirls resisted and made more of an impact.
To make the backgournd, I took a piece of Create and Craft pearlescent cardstock and used the same DM stamp with Versamark to make the patterns around the edge. I also used the Cosmic Shimmer embossing powder here too. The ribbon was originally cream seam binding which I coloured with the Bundled Sage DI. I added a Creative Expressions dazzler to the centre of the ribbon with Pinflair Glue Gel.
Hope you are all having a good week with plenty of crafty time.
Happy crafting,

As this is my first blog post it would only be polite to introduce my crafting to you. This is one of the first computer crafted cards that I have made. I used the My Craft Studio Fab Glam Fifties CD-ROM for the images and mounted the main image and sentiment onto mirri-paper. The main image has been highlighted using Cosmic Shimmer Embossing Powder and a heat gun.
