Sympathy Shells


I have a very quick card for you today using one of the fabulous 3D M-Bossabilities from Spellbinders.




I have run the Shell Beauty Spellbinders® 3D M-Bossabilities™ folder through the Grand Calibur® Die cutting and Embossing Machine
using white card.

NOTE:  'The sandwich for Spellbinders 3D M-Bossabilities folders in Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Die Cutting and Embossing Machine (stack from bottom up): B-Pink Embossing Plate, 3D M-Bossabilities Folder with Media Inside and D-Raspberry Adapter Plate.'



The embossed card has been sponged using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink in Peanut Brittle, Toffee Crunch and Brilliance™ Pigment Ink in Pearlescent Chocolate. Delicata™ Pigment Ink in Golden Glitz has been added to some areas of the embossing to highlight them and add that pretty shimmer.

The bling is Want2Scrap Beautiful Bling Borders by Nina Brackett - Endless Waves.  I have used
Scrapbook by Adhesives by 3L - 3D Foam Square and E-Z Runner on this card.  The sentiment is from SRM Stickers

The image is from Graphic 45 and the background paper is from Authentique Paper.

The music sheet has been cut/emboss using the Hearts One Spellbinders® Media Mixáge™ and the Artisan X-plorer™ Machine.




The beautiful swirl and gorgeous paper rose are from Want2Scrap.  Scrapbook by Adhesives by 3L - 3D Foam Squares and E-Z Runner have been used on this card.

The Creative Cogs Spellbinders® 3D M-Bossabilities™ folder has been embossed using the

So Worth the Wait

Sometimes it is good to 'change the pace' a bit with out creating - shabby vintage is my 'signature' style, but I am really enjoying moving out of the 'comfort zone' every now and then - and this is one of those times...



The cardstock for the image and sentiment has been cut/embossed using A2 Distressed Edges  Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Card Creator and the Spellbinder Grand Calibur.  I have used IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink in Peanut Brittle and Toffee Crunch  for the script and sponging.




The 'rings' have been created using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink in Espresso Truffle and the sentiment stamped using Tuxedo Black.

Artistic Inspirations - Anything Goes / No Designer Papers
