Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope I inspire you to create your own handmade cards. Today my card was inspired by Robin P Broome. I love vintage style so I took her card and added my twist to it. Let me know what you think. Card Recipe: Start with a Crumb Cake Cardstock base of 14.9 x 21cm. Then use one of the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks and Crumb Cake ink to cover the front of the card base. Second layer is Night of Navy Cardstock at 12.8 x 8.4cm. Distress the edges and rip it in a couple of places then use Early Espresso ink and a dauber to colour the edges. You can also curl some of the edges with your bone folder. Third layer is Crumb Cake Cardstock 12.1 x 7.7cm. Stamp the script image from the stamp set Very Versailles in Crumb Cake ink randomly all over. Then rip around the edges to give an old manuscript effect and blend Early Espresso ink around the edges. For the flowers, die cut from the Harvest Die with Basic White Cardstock. Use daubers to colour. To get the...

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. At the time of writing this New Zealand have gone into Level 4 lockdown because of COVID cases again in the community. In Nelson we are staying this way for 3 days for now but could be more, we will know on Friday. I have been playing around with the Soft Pastel chalks. These awesome chalks can be used to colour, in  a lot of different ways. For these two examples I used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set (FREE with Sale-a-bration). The darker one I used the chalk wet with watercolour brushes the second one I used a dauber and dry chalk. Both are beautiful and different from each other. Gorgeous colours available are Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy & Poppy Parade The colours I used for the cards were Blackberry Bliss and Crumb Cake. The Crumb Cake cardstock was put through a Bark 3D Embossing Folder and the label around the Dahlias was die cut using a die from th...
