Birthday Card

Just sharing a card today.  I made another twist card as I so enjoyed how the last one turned out.  I admit this one gave me a few problems but once I built the whole card up by adding a cover on the front it decided it to then twist freely. phew!

Here is the front, I kept the decoration very simple with a sentiment, a banner and hearts.

Here is the inside and I used the My Favourite Things Hedhehog set

This card was made for a work colleague Emily who was 17 at the weekend.

I hope you like this card today.

This card was made using the tutorial that Karen Burniston

showed on her blog HERE

Happy Halloween

I love halloween and I know my boys will too... look what I just did whilst Harvey is at school, he will be excited to see it. I know by USA standards its pathetic, but for the UK we rarely decorate. Its nice to see next door have got into the spirit too with their HUGE spider. They gave us a couple of legs!! LOL on the porch roof so I gave them a few bats. I was thinking it will make Sarah jump as she walks out her door!!

Here are a couple of cards. Both Magnolia designs for the main images

For this card I have used the cuttlebug embossing folder with snowflakes from The Glitter Pot, Dovecraft Paper from The Glitter Pot, ribbon also from the Glitter Pot, Christmas flower was a gift but I know you can get it from Craftwork Cards, watercolour pencils, glitter glue and lastly zoomz from Stamp Galaxy. All links can be found on the right hand side tool bar.

For this card I have used my favourite and sadly wont be available to the UK Stampin Up! colour, this is one of this years "in" colours from the USA.... I do hope day one day we will get this... I love it. I used the purely pomegranite ink with my new stamp set from My Favourite Things for the background and I used the bold flower as an accent too. I used the ink pad to colour in the main design and pencils for the other colours. I used a fab brad for the centre of the flower too.
