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:

Damask Make a Wish Card

Happy Sunday to my Blog friends in the Southern Hemisphere  - and to those of you in the Northern Hemisphere - your future is looking good!! 

I am sharing a CAS card CASED and inspired by my friend Ann some time ago.  The sentiment is from SRM Stickers and has been added directly to the stamped images.

The top layer of the image has been stamped usingIMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaMark™ Watermark Ink and IMAGINE Crafts® Embossing Powder™ in gold.   A little bit of
Want2Scrap© bling adds more depth.

 Incase you were wondering if there were and Spellbinders Dies on this - the answer is YES!!  I used the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine and the A-2 Matting Basics A Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Card Creator to cut my card base.  One quick and easy card - what do you think?

Postcard Birds

Vintage cards are such a pleasure to create, they would be my favourite style, I always refer to it as very 'kind' with it's distressed lines and muted shades.

Soft tones feature in this card, using the Penny Black Inc harmony cling stamp for the background, this image has been cut using the Spellbinders™ A-2 Matting Basics B Nestabilities®and the Grand Calibur® Machine

and an adorable Crafty Individuals Seven Cheeky Songbirds image for the center, lightly coloured using Tsukineko Memento Markers, I love this image - it is the first time I have used it,but definitely won't be the last - infact the whole site is divine, their images appeal to me greatly!

Finishing off with Want2Scrap bling and pearls, lace and Mulberry Roses - a little bit nostalgic and totally easy.
