Dance like no one's watching

 Hi all, Happy Thursday

I have put together this card using my newly acquired Visible Image stamp of a beautiful Ballerina.  I aspire to her though I am more like a dancing Heffalump with knackered kneecaps.  Perhaps in another life lol.

Okay this is my card for today

7x7 inch card blank and front panel using Pink Frog Super smooth cardstock, greta price and quality. Pale pink and pale blue mat/layer

Versafine Clair Nocturne

Visible Image stamps  - Born to Perform

Archival Distress inks - unknown colours as used what was left on brushes from another project.

Stencils used are Sweet Poppy stencil Harmony and Craft Treat Voice of the soul. 

Black fineliner

I used my scoreboard to give a rounded edge for all panels for a change

Hope you like it


Thank you for visiting me

We will remember

 Happy Saturday

Hope you are all well

I made something different to my usual cards- we all need a change sometimes

Last year I bought 8 box frames 10x10 inch and had not touched them until today

My daughter works in a Residential home and thought maybe they would like a framed picture for there communal area

If they don't want it I know someone who would

It has not come out as I wanted but was worth the try, after all it is only card a the end of the day. I think I put too many poppies on it which throws it off balance but hey ho thought I would show it anyhow

So I used the following ingredients

Pink Frog White super smooth cardstock for the background and the poppies

Versafine clair Nocturne

Mixture of distress oxides, splattered with water and the used fan brush across the wet background so was quite wet. I splattered bleach, red and black posca over it

Pink Frog Precious poppies stamps, stamped many and cut out, snipped inbetween the petals to manipulate them

Used Tansai Gambi paints, reds, orange, yellow and ochre on the poppies

Stinky Silicone glue for the flowers

sentiment and soldier stamps by Paperartsy




Thank you for visiting me yet again really appreciate it

Elaine xx
