Springtime Impressions of Butterfly Beauty

I'll admit right now that this card didn't come out as I'd hoped and I'm really unhappy with the result.  However, creativity and radiation don't seem to mix well for me so I'm presenting it anyway, with apologies.

Springtime Impressions and Butterfly Beauty

I ran a piece of Highland Heather cardstock through the big shot, set up for embossing, with the Springtime Impressions piece and then heavily spritzed it with water before gently dabbing on Gorgeous Grape and Bermuda Bay ink before leaving it to dry.

Since I wasn't happy, I repeated the spritzing and inking a few times.  Then, once thoroughly dry, I also added a little ink with a sponge for good measure!  I also added a touch of Frost White Shimmer Paint - but it doesn't show up in the photo!

The butterflies are cut using the Butterfly Beauty dies and the sentiment (stamped with Gorgeous Grape) is from the Free As A Bird stamp set.

Springtime Impressions Diamond Anniversary Card

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to make a 60th Wedding Anniversary card for some very dear family friends.  What an achievement!

An elegant card to celebrate the Diamond Wedding Anniversary of an Elegant couple

They are such elegant, understated people that I wanted to make a card to match and that led me to think of an all white colour scheme.  Then I remembered the diamond dies in the Eclectic Layers Thinlits set and decided to use some of the Silver Glimmer Paper for sparkle and that led to the addition of the silver elements in the card.

The size of the card was determined by the size of the Tufted Embossing Folder - I cut my layers accordingly and the base card is made from Thick A4 cardstock.

When I tied my white bow, I added a piece of the Silver Sequin Trim through the loop.  I then looped the sequin trim diagonally behind the bow and fixed it with Mini Glue Dots to make a sort of heart shape.

For easy fixing, I added Mulipurpose Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Silver Foil Sheet before cutting the word "Amazing" from the Celebrate You die set.

An entire card without any stamping!
