Workshop Embossed card

Good morning all, well that weekend flashed by. That's what you get for enjoying yourself lol. 

Anyway today's card is very simple indeed. I needed a few male cards as we have Jude's son-in-law's birthday this week. 

So again I turned to trusty old Pinterest as my own mojo has took off on holiday without me lol. I came across a very similar card that I liked so I recreated it with the supplies that we had. 

I used a Darice Workshop embossing folder and some bronze shimmer card for the background. 

Then I used white corrugated card across the centre with a plain piece of the bronze card. 

I added a metal tag brad and some dark green twine and then stuck this piece across the middle. 

Then I used a WPlus9 stamp set called Strictly Sentiments 1, stamped with Jet Black Archival ink and cut into a flag shape by hand. 

Then I added it all to a 7 x 5 card blank.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Hey you

Good morning all, hope you are well. Today's card is made using our very first Studio Calico kit. I must admit to being completely stumped as to what to use the plastic word 'Hey' for, so I looked online for inspiration, and I found that some had used it as a mask/stencil.

I wanted some texture to the card so I dug out some white corrugated card and cut it down to fit on a standard 6 x 4 card blank.

Then I used a mixture of Cosmic Shimmer spray inks in Patina Vintage Mist and Mango Blush, then I added some Mr Huey's spray ink in Classic Tan. 

Once this was dry I removed the plastic word and sprayed lightly over the top with iridescent glitter spray. 

I used part of a 'Thinking of you' die from Taylored Expressions, to add the 'You' underneath, then I used one of the stamps that came with the kit to add the 'Get well soon' sentiment. I used a Memento Bamboo Leaves ink for this.

I stamped the little frog from the set on to green card and then cut him out by hand, (gosh that was fiddly lol.) Then I added a couple of leaves for him to sit on and a few coordinating flowers to finish.

It's not my usual style of card but I quite like it, hope you do too. Take care and I'll see you soon.
