Thank You Kindly

A little bit of shimmer for you today - everyone loves a little bit of shimmer at some time or other.

 

This card is created using a Spellbinders Frame.  The image underneath is part of a bookmark I have had sitting on my desk - I could not resist the beautiful rose - it needed to be framed!  I have used a negative Die from the Opulent Ovals Spellbinders® Majestic Elements!

 

The sentiment has been stamped using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaFine™ Archival Pigment Ink in Vintage Sepia.

Want2Scrap© Swirls Finesse adds such an elegant touch.

Framed Thanks

It is Friday afternoon here and I am happy to be blogging, I do miss being on here so often, but with the School Holidays here and that always keep us a bit busier - you know how it is!

 

 

 

I have been busy creating and am sharing a card today that I created using these gorgeous flowers from the Petal Party created by NinaB Designs for Penny Black.

 

 

 

 

The gorgeous frame is a Spellbinders Antique Frame and Accents Licensed Die by Samantha Walker - these are gorgeous, the retired sentiment from Layers of Color has been stamped onto a Spellbinders Ribbon Banners Shapeabilities.

 

 

 

The flowers have been coloured using Distressing Inks and Chalks/Pastels - I love the 'earthy tones'

 

 

 

 

The centers of the flowers are recycled buttons, they make a great embellishment - we all have them at home - just waiting to be used!!  The bling is also designed by NinaB Designs for Want2Scrap.

 

 

This card is for the following challenges:

Paper Crafting Journey - Add some bling

Divas by Design - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp - dies/punches

I am sharing a very quick post with you today, as the Internet is down for a few days due to problems that need a Technician – and we all know that could take some time.....arghhhh!  Thankfully our kids College is right next to McDonalds and they have free Wi-Fi and a cappuccino.

My card is created using the Spellbinders Licensed Dies designed by Samantha Walker – if you missed my Step by Step Tutorial using Samantha’s Dies, you can see it here.  For this card I used the French Frills – I love this Eiffel Tower.

I have cut the card using the Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight Nestabilities from Gold textured card  (you can see the shimmer in the photo above) – then rubbed it with ColorBox Espresso ink.  A  Spellbinders Labels Eight Nestabilities has been cut and sanded, then layered onto it, followed by a Spellbinders Classic Ovals that has been sponged with ColorBox Curry Ink , using the Die as a mask.  All if my Dies have been cut at once using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur – I love the fact that you can cut so many Dies at the one time!!

 The Eiffel Tower is adhered.  The sentiment has been cut using the Classic Ovals Nestabilities and sponged with ColorBox Curry Ink while still in the Die. 

The Want2Scrap Swirls Finesse add the finishing touches to the card.

Thank you for stopping by today, I do miss being able to check in during the day and visit you on your Blogs or facebook, but am grateful to be able to make the most of the free Wi-Fi available.  Just incase you are wondering, I have not spent as long as you may think at McDonald – I have pretyped this and used the good old ‘cut and paste’ function – have to love that! LOL!  I will be back to visit you when I can – hopefully from the comfort of my home soon!!
