You make my heart sing

 Today I have put together a card for someone special in my life. 

I used 

linen card 300gsm

A die I have no idea of the origin, found in my stash never used, can't even remember buying it. layered twice

The bunnies are by Alexandra Renke put together using vellum. I used alcohol inks for the colour. Citrus and sailboat blue.  These were then stuck to a piece of card to make him stable. I then cut them twice more and cut their legs off so his top half were in line with the music and would lay flat against the card base.

Sentiment I composed on laptop and printed

Here is the finished piece

Bon Voyage

I made this card just because - no reason just wanted to give  life to these little fellas,

The dies are by Alexandra Renke - cannot remember what they were called.

 I used 300 gsm linen card for all the white elements/card base and baby blue for the other bits and pieces. 

I used my fiskars texture board with embossing tool for the brickwork ground.  I printed the sentiment from my laptop and cut round them for the signpost.

 Took me absolutely ages to piece this card all .together

Anyhow here they are off on their travels

Sympathy Card

 Today I have made a card that nobody likes to make. Thank goodness I don't need one at the moment therefore making it a little easier to make but still sad as it will have a use in some point in time.

Linen cardstock from either amazon. hobbycraft or Craftstash UK there is a Craftstash USA

Rectangle stitched dies and used to embossed an outer frame using silicone rubber mat and embossing plate in bigshot

I stamped a flower background stamp and embossed using gold glitter embossing powder on white linen card, I then diecut the poppies, large and small, from the embossed card. The small ones are separate I just arranged them the same as the large. I am unsure of the makes, I think the large one could be memory box and the small ones were sent to me as a gift ??? Feel free to let me know of the origin of the poppies.

I scored the top layer as usual using my scoreboard and score tool

The sentiment I composed on laptop and printed it out

The second pic I tried to show how shiny the embossing is

I do hope you like it and thank you for visiting me

Peace love and joy

 Today I fancied making a card that symbolizes peace due to these terrible atrocities gong on in this world.  Saddens me terribly.  

I put this together using  

Linen cardstock 300gsm

3 x images from Hungryjpeg (smoke flowers) combined with 2 x images of doves from pngwing manipulated in photo editing program and printed twice

I diecut the oval where I wanted the aperture, The outer oval embossed using a larger size die

I lined up the die cut layer over the base image and used double sided foam tape to secure it -

VOILA all done except what to do with the card though I suppose it could be used for Christmas????? who knows!

The second pic shows close up of the doves soooooo cute
