Colour Inspiration

When I sat down to make the card below i had no ideas what so ever...I had a route round my stash and came across the ribbon that I've used at the bottom of the card - and bingo.  You may recognise the ribbon, I saved it from a top I'd bought!

I had colours that perfectly matched the ribbon in my stash, so used these to create the elements of the card.  To make the stars pop I added some glossy accents.  Otherwise I wanted to keep the card flat as I knew I'd be sending it in the post.

Thanks for visiting!

Mother's Day #2

This is the second Mother's Day card I made.  Partly due to my limited stamping supplies, but also because I was pleased with the first card I made I used the same set and colour combinations.

As you can see in the close up, I die cut the "happy" from the main card base and inlaid the pink die cut...this is a technique I have seen used a lot around blogland and I wanted to give it a go.  The flower I free cut as I haven't bought the dies, but as I'm using the "You Are" set a lot I think I might have to invest!

Masculine Valentine

Sorry for being absent for so long...life has gone manic recently but I have managed to find a little time in between for crafting but not blogging.

Today I am sharing the card I made my husband for Valentine's day.  As with many people I really struggle to make cards for men.  I used an earthy colour pallet for this card which helped stop it being too feminine.

Supplies:

Heart - free cut from core'dinations "darks" cardstock
EF - Swiss dots by Cuttlebug
Embellishments - from my stash

Sentiment - Personal Impressions - Everyday Words Happy Birthday
