Recipe

This week's challenge at Make My Monday is a recipe and it certainly was a challenge for me as I knew I wanted to make a man's card, ( I have a few Birthdays this month), however, when it came to 5 Gems I thought I was stumped.  Thank goodness for little tiny grey pearly gems as they are now my gentleman's buttons.

Why not join us this week and see how you get on with the Recipe,

Love is in the Air

Good Morning and Welcome. Thank you for joining me today as I am the hostess of our challenge at Make My Monday this week and my theme is LOVE.

I began by Stamping  and heat embossing the background swirl. Then I dry embossed the card with an embossing folder.

Distress inks in Aged Mahogany and Black
Soot for the background. I used Vintage Photo and Aged Mahogany on the main stamped image.  All the stamps used are Paper Artsy.
A few finishing touches with a Paper Rosette, Dyed Seam Binding, Tattered Lace Heart and a Resin Rose with some wax.
 

I do hope you will join in with our challenge this week and I look forward to seeing your Love-Ly Creations,

Not a Birthday Card

Good Morning and Welcome.  Our Challenge at Make My Monday this week is ANYTHING BUT A CARD  so I thought I would share the 'Card' I made for the birthday of my friend, Anita.  We rarely make each other an actual card and prefer to make something else.
I decided to make a lavender bag using a Crafty Individuals Stamp and coloured with Derwent Inktense Pencils.

The Back.

 

 
 

 

This is the 'Envelope' made from a page of one of our favourite catalogues,

I hope you like my project this week and will join in our challenge,

Have a great week,

Japanese Lady Card

Happy Monday Everyone and Welcome.
Our challenge this week at Make My Monday is EASTERN PROMISE and this is my interpretation of that theme.

The images were stamped, masked and coloured with pencils.  The gold strip and coin are heat embossed onto black mirri card and the chrysanthemum is a Tattered Lace Die.

I do hope you will take a look at the other DT makes and join in the fun this week,

Have a great week,

Kraft with Folk Art Flowers

Good Morning and Welcome this Monday morning.

Our theme over at Make My Monday this week is USE KRAFT CARD and so I decided to paint some flowers onto the Kraft, it really is a lovely card to paint onto.

The side of the card has been embossed and inked.

I hope you will join in our challenge, have a great week,

Hummingbird Card

Good Morning and Welcome.  My choice of theme at Make My Monday this week is BIRDS and when I chose it I was thinking of wintry scenes with Robins and Blue Tits, however, now it is cold and wintry outside, I have decided to go for a tropical style instead.

My background is distress inks as is the seam binding. 

I have used a Crafty Individuals stamp for the Hummingbird, which has been stamped and coloured and then stamped again on acetate, and an Indigo Blu stamp and Distress Paint for the swirls.  The dies are Tattered Lace.

I do hope you will join in the challenge this week and, as always, I look forward to seeing your wonderful projects.

Have a great week,

Embossed Swirls on Parchment

Happy New Year to you all and welcome to my first post of 2014.
Laura has chosen the theme at Mmm this week and her chosen subject is embossing.
For my card, I have chosen to use Parchment, this card was for for Mother-in-law's birthday on the first so a very happy, belated Birthday.

I have used Pergamano Multi Grids for the Swirls and Butterflies and  a Tattered Lace Die for the corners. 

I hope you will drop in and have a look at the other DT makes and join in with our challenge this week.
