Twilight Birthday

Hello friends, thank you for all of your visits and comments both here and on facebook - they are all read and greatly appreciated!  Today I am sharing a card I created while having a break from some commissioned work and this is the outcome!

I have used 'that Folder' that came with one of the Australian Simply Cards Magazines - it was so popular and you can see why - can't you?!.  I have used it for pretty feminine cards but had a lot of fun with some texture and darker colours - I am really liking the almost grungy feel to this one - how about you?

The sentiment is also from a free set from the Australian Simply Cards magazine - they have such fabulous free gifts each month.  I have also used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares + E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable Dispenser and  Want2Scrap white pearls.

                                          This card is for the following challenges:

                                            Crafting By Designs  - Anything Goes for August

Embossed Birthday Wishes

Hello friends, I have heard a lot of buzzing over this embossing folder that was a freebie with Australian Simply Cards last month - and I can see why - so elegant and an instant pretty card for so many occasions.

I have cut the card base using Spellbinders A2 Curved Matting Basics B Card Creator and the Platinum Die Cutting and Embossing Machine.  The Damask pattern has been highlighted using Imagine Craft Ink in Petal Pink, The sentiment that comes with the folder has also been stamped using Imagine Crafts Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black. As I said - so elegant and so easy!   Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner and 3D Foam Squares have been used on this card and the bling is from Want2Scrap.
