Julie

My card for today was made using a 6x6 base card. I used 2 Nitwit backing papers, for the first paper I layered it onto some lilac card leaving a small border. Next I used the 2nd paper and also layered it onto lilac card to create a smaller matt. I then stamped my image, Julie from Jayne Nestorenko's stamp collection Patchwork Polly. After colouring my image I used a spellbinders die to cut and emboss then before removing the die I inked around Julie with a distress ink, I also used the die to create a faux shape to layer onto. I created a border using a Marieanne die and thread ribbbon through before placing it onto the small matt. To finish I added some flowers and a sentiment to embellish x

Little girl

I recceived my Morehead collection yesterday and just had to have a play. I started off with two backing papers from the cd and matted one onto a contrasting card, then did the same with the other paper a little smaller. I placed these two matts together then added ribbon, I then layered onto 6x6 base card. After stamping out my image I coloured then used a circle die and matching scallop die and layered together. To finish I cut two corners from a die and added those and gems.
Thank you for stopping to look at my blog x

Something different


I have had a craft robo since they first came out, at first I used it all the time. Then along came my cricut and cuttlebug so the robo was made redundant. I have recenty re-discovered how great it is after I was asked if I had anything I could make that was 3d. I have a few files to use on my robo but the things I was asked to make I didn't have so I searched the internet until I found what I was looking for on treasured templates website. However the template was a little small for what I wanted so after trying to resize it and failing ( I really need to learn more on how to ) I  asked a friend to help. So with a great template a little help from a friend and a little time and patience from myself I am really pleased with the end result. 
I have entered this into Ruby's Rainbow challenge.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by x
