Super hero

Good morning all, hope you have had a good week. Thank goodness it's Friday, can't wait for this week to be over to be honest. 🙍 But tomorrow's the weekend and I'm really hoping to get some time in the craft room, as I still haven't made anything since February !!!!! 🙅

Anyway, today's card was made using a pale blue window card that we picked up at one of the craft shows. So I made my background to fit inside.

I used a starry night paper background from an old Papermania pad, and then cut my City Skyline die and background die from MFT stamps, using gold and silver card.

The little superhero is from a Clearly Besotted set called Caped Cuties. I coloured him with Copic markers and then cut him out by hand.

I added him to the background paper with foam pads and then added a sentiment from the same set.

Then all I needed to do was add a few sequins and it was all finished.

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

Reflection die cut

Good morning all, I hope you have had a good week. We are celebrating a birthday a Christening and an Anniversary in the next few days, so It's going to be a busy weekend lol.

I needed another male card a few weeks ago so while looking for inspiration I found this card on Pinterest. I really liked the colours and the use of the large word so I set about to make something along those lines, only I don't really do CAS so mine is much fussier !

I used some dark grey card for the background and then cut the MFT Skyline from a pale silver card and the background die from black card. I had to cut the background one back to front so that I could use it as a mirror image. 

I then die cut the Birthday die from the Happy Birthday Layer Makers by Frantic Stamper, and covered it with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with Ranger Fine Detail Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder.

I placed this across the middle of the panel and then went over the black silhouette with a Clear Wink of Stella pen, to give it some shimmer.

To finish the card off I stamped a Happy sentiment from a Simon Says Stamp set and added some clear Gems and sequin stars.

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

Window to the world

Good morning all.  Hope you have had a pleasant weekend.  Ours has been very busy with birthdays for two very special people.  

Saturday was our Mum's birthday and this is the card I made her from her youngest grandson, Joe.

I used a couple of dies that I haven't used before - the opening window and city scenes, which I cut down to fit in the window.  The night sky is a denim effect paper which I thought worked well.

The scene is a two part die. I cut one in black and the other in gold to make it look like the windows are backlit.

I cut the window a second time from some patterned paper and used the negative to act like wallpaper.  I then used a sentiment die and cut the words in black card.

I like the effect of all this together but it does make quite a thick and heavy card!

Reach for the stars

Good morning all, hope you are having a good week. 

Today's card came about as I wanted to have a play with the new skyline dies from MFT. Jude got the solid one for Christmas and then she bought the top layer herself, but neither of us have used them yet.

I used a 6 x 6 card blank and cut the solid die in yellow and the top die in black. 

The sentiment stamp is from a Creative Expressions set called Dreamy Sentiments, stamped with black Archival ink.

I used a Marianne stars embossing folder for the background, and then inked it with Peacock Feathers and Faded Denim Distress Inks. 

Then I used some die cut stars in white Centura Pearl card to go over the top in a few places. 

Then I gave it a mat of yellow and black card and it was all finished. 

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