I used 8x8 scalloped edge cream card base, pierced the edges of black card and layered, I masked the edges of some taupe coloured card and stamped in black a leafy stamp from my lovely new fave set by Creative ex called Dandelion set, I then embossed with hounds tooth embossing folder the other bit of taupe card, had to run it through twice as it was bigger than folder, I then directly inked from pad with black soot DI, it's not terribly noticeable in pic, but I did some  pleating on the ribbon and added pearls where I didn't pleat, the sentiment is from the same stamp set, I used the smallest of the new and beautiful grande, nesties, ovals, inked lightly whilst still in die with black soot DI, I then cut and embossed, using black for the branches and taupe for the cherry blossoms and inked while still in die, with same ink. And there it is, hope you like it as much as I do? Thank you for visiting today xxx

A birthday card for a very special little girl.

Good evening Lovelies, what a scorcher :)! 

Tonight's make is an emotional one for me, I'm a foster carer, and this card is for the last little one we had, she came to us at 4 days old and stayed until she was adopted at 17 months! I can tell you it was the hardest thing I've ever done, and will never get over it! A day doesn't go by without her being in my thoughts, and yes I still have times when I cry! That was nearly a year and half ago, she is extremely happy and her new mummy and daddy are the most wonderful and worthy, people to have my special little girl, and they do update me from time to time, thank goodness. And of course we have another little princess now, she came 3 weeks after the last one at a year old and will also be getting adopted fairly soon, so another broken heart coming up, I must be crazy, but in spite the heart ache I love my job! 

  So back to my card which is for the one that's been adopted she will be 3 in September, hopefully we'll get to see her?

I used 8x8 white scalloped edge card base, and just went crazy with my new spellbinder dies and m-bossability, i did it all with white and edged with pink sherbert adirondack ink, the image is Wellington stamp from a set, which I coloured using Spectrum noirs, the branches for the cherry blossom die are coloured with walnut stain DI, I dotted sticklers in the centre of cherry blossoms, added some buttons and a couple of the smallest bitty blossoms and foliage, the 3 is a template which I cut out onto double sided adhesive and plonked into micro beads, a bobby dazzler for biggest flower and voila, took quite a while, but I like the result, I had to get this right for her love her! Hope you like it? Thank you for spending the time to visit xxx

Journey! I inked, with mustard seed distress ink and edged with wild honey, I stamped a small script stamp with versamark and dusted with bronze mica powder, sealed with some cheap hairspray, the tickets are from CExpressions travel set of stamps which I used Walnut stain DI and lightly inked over, scrumpled up and glued on, the Key and Keyhole are Tim Holtz.

Kingfisher! is a stamp set I got from a department store I don't remember the make, I first used Stamp board and swiped and blended Pan Pastels, Hansa yellow and ultramarine blue, sealed with cheap hairspray, stamped image with stazon, then triple embossed, with ex deep EP on the third layer whilst still molten I sprinkled on some irredescent mica powder, added a small section of swirly black bling, voila

Sunset! is white cardI used pan pastels, permanent red, diary lied yellow and Hansa yellow, diagonally blending, I sealed with cheap hairspray, I stamped image using coffee bean archival ink, the image is from the same set as the Kingfisher, I then triple embossed with Ex deep EP and added 3 gold gems.

Illusion! is Stampboard which I painted with Antique gold Acrylic paint when it was dry I stamped in black stazon Illusion from CExpressions steam punk set, triple embossed with Ex deep EP on the third layer while still molten I sprinkled in some mica flakes, the frame with brads is from Tim Holtz.
