Ruby


I was asked to make a very plain Ruby wedding card.I normally do parchment for some thing special like this .
So reading though the blogg challenges i came up with this idea and also entered it into the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge
All they wanted for the challenge was to incorporate stamping with some sort of scallop.
I stamped a medallion on to card and glittered.Then embossed a scalloped oval.i also embossed each corner and highlighted it with chalk




Where to keep them




I am a novice when it comes to copic markers.Having said that i am building a nice little collection of them.I didnt just want to keep them in a pencil case or draw and constantly root for the colours i needed.So here is were my lovely Hubby came up trumps.
Out of some off cuts of wood and a flat piece of metal this is what he made me.





Layered up




Thought this card was something different to the usual mans cards i normally send
Its an 8 x 8 card with a flap on the front.The image is off a CD by Jayne Netley Mayhew.I printed the image off several times and layered it up on the flap so that it all matched up with the main image

For a friend


I made this card for a friend who's birthday is on Tuesday.She doesnt craft so there will be no chance of her seeing this before the day..lol
I noticed on the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge the theme is 3D,brilliant,i can enter this as the butterfly and flowers are layered up.
The butterfly is a medallion stamp that comes in two sizes.i stamped them on to blue card and glittered them up.
The flowers are all cut out of parchment, heavily embossed then layered up and i added a little pearl to finish them off
