Spellbinders - Enchancing Elements - Shades of Blue

This card is created using  the Spellbinders newly released Dies -  when I run one off I usually run off a few more so I have some on hand.  That is the case when I created my card for the Diamond Anniversary: Sneak peek and Giveaway

.  

I am using the same Dies - the patterned has been cut using the Gold Labels One  Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Imperial Gold Enhancing Elements dies and the Rounded Squares Nestabilities®.  The butterflies are from the Les Papillions Two Shapeabilities®.   I have used the Faux Letterpress Technique with the Gold Labels One Nestabilities and

IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaMagic™ Chalk Pigment Ink in Aquatic Splash.

 The sentiment is from the JustRite® Papercraft Kindness stamp set and has been stamped using

IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaFine™ Archival Pigment Ink in Onyx Black.  I have also used Seam Binding, an altered Vintage Button and Recycled Lace.  I have also used Want2Scrap© pearls and Scrapbook by Adhesives by 3L - E-Z Runner and 3D Foam Squares, along with a paper rose.

Spellbinders - A Gilded Life - Crown Bezel

 I am back with another Bezel to share with you - I told you it is addictive and believe me - there are many more to come!!  This time I am using the divine Crown Bezel - Large - A Gilded Life Bezel from Spellbinders. 

  

The Silver Precious Metals Premium Craft Foil has been cut/ embossed using the Crown Circle die template and the Artisan X-plorer Machine.   I have embellished it using a Glass Stone and Want2Scrap© - Baby Bling.  Finishing off with ICE Resin®. The Glass Stone is actually rounded but the dimension disappeared using the Ice Resin.

  This is a very quick and easy project - but I have to be honest and say - the Bezel does a lot of the work - don't you agree!!

 Thank you for your comments and all of the support you give me - you make blogging such an amazing place to be!! Your encouragement is such a blessing for me - it makes my day! God bless you!

Kiss Laugh Dream

I love sentiments on cards - there are so many available but this is one of my favourites - it is so very true!

The sentiment is a pre-printed one from KaiserCraft.  The background precut paper is from Cosmo Cricket™. The patterned paper is some retired paper from Stampin' Up!

The addition of a paper rose and always adds to the shabby feel of a card...

...and of course Want2Scrap© pearls and Scrapbook by Adhesives by 3L - E-Z Runner 

Quick and easy and shabby-licious!!
