One Layer Anniversary

Welcome - thank you for visiting.

I needed a plethora of anniversary cards recently, and this is one of them.

I went for a single layer with sponging and random word stamps from the Layers of Colour set The Love Chapter for the background.

The sentiment was stamped and embossed and cut using a Lacy Circle spellbinders die, and then a scrap of sparkly ribbon was wound around it.

The charm was attached with the same ribbon that I used on the circle, which had by now run out, so I had to use a silver edged ribbon for the bow.

The band across the base was punched both sides and then sponged with a pearlised ink. A clear chiffon silver edged ribbon was layered over this and the wee letter buttons added, then some rhinestones.

MMSC #90

Greetings to my visitors once again - I am so flattered that you keep coming back to visit.

This card was made for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #90, and with a specific person in mind. Some time ago I tried the "Black Magic" technique and this time it worked - I ended up with a row of samples all coloured up with Stampin' Up pencils, so when I reached for this image, it set the colours for the balance of the card.

I love the way the colours almost shimmer in strong light and the white highlights really bring the image to life.

This was mounted on a spellbinders lacy square, which I had cut in white card and backed with some blue.

The rest of the card was constructed to the sketch, using mid-yellow paper that was embossed with the Swiss dots folder, over cream card. For the other features I used pink ribbon and card, and blue half pearls, and punched the bottom border with a Fiskars punch.
