Hi Lovlies, I'm blogging now as I'm out tonight, girlie night in with take away and chinwag! 

Today's make is one for the guys, hope you like? Would love your comments! 

6x6 craft card, I embossed white card with cogs mask, colour tinted it with vintage photo DI then very quickly dusted bronze mica powder over and sealed with cheap hairspray, I painstakingly cut out the centre to create an apature, I mounted it with mounting foam for dimention, the background I stamped and masked cogs etc creating a collage effect with walnut stain DI directly onto base card, before mounting the apature of course, the train and sentiment are from Creative Ex travel set of stamps as are the cogs and screws etc, the tickets are CE but a different set which were also stamped with walnut stain inked and scrumpled up I edged each topper with black soot DI added a screw top brad, couple of Tim Holtz cogs and voila, thank you for taking the time to stop by xxx I am entering this card into http://alteredelusionsandartitude.blogspot.co.uk/

Football

Evening lovlies! Phew! What a hot one it's been today! Little one was in paddling pool :) 

 So hubby came home today with an invite to a 6 year old boys birthday BBQ sat afternoon! Only seen him twice don't know what he's into, so I figured most little boys like football, so tonight's make is a birthday card for Finn! 

Surprise surprise! It's an A5 century pearl card base, I embossed white card with m-bossabilities zigzag pattern, used zigzag edgeabilities with insert, to create a boarder and the waste to just create another layer! Using Barbara Gray's glossy card I brayered with Juniper adirondack, then with versamark inked some bubble wrap and randomly pressed on, then brayered over with cloudy blue adirondack, stamped with Stazon, footballer and sentiment which were from a Kanban set, cut and embossed with the smallest Grande nestie and next size up for mat in brown, cut out a 6 using template and ran it through other side of the zigzag folder, voila! Hope it's not too grown up! What do you think? Thank you for taking time to look xxxx 

A tag for you

Here a tag I made as a special thank you to all you lovely bloggers that visit my blog and leave comments, if I don't thank you personally, I'm very sorry I try to! I made this using Pan Pastels, Hansa yellow, magenta and turquoise I I used two masks and blended through them on top then sprayed with cheap hair spray, I stamped using Kanban stamps sets, flowers from one and butterfly from another, I added a few white dots with a pen, and voila! Thank you for looking xxx

The second one I scored two lines, and embossed using a border E folder, then used stamps from the same set as first one, heat embossed with clear EP and blended in a diagonal direction Pan pastels, magenta tint and magenta, then used small dots mask and blended more magenta. Thank you for taking the time to look xx
