Colourful Cowgirl

Good morning all, I hope you have had a good week. We have had a lovely week with our grandsons here, and are looking forward to a day out with more of the family tomorrow.

Today's card is one I made for mums friend who had her birthday this week. She teaches line dancing classes, so mum asked for a couple of cards for the class members to sign and this is one of them.

I used my Silhouette Studio software for the main design, taking the cowgirl image from a cut file and adapting it so I could print it. I then added text around it and printed it with the laser printer.

I used the Rainbow Decofoil over the print and ran it through my Minc machine before cutting it out with a large scalloped circle die.

I found the paper in a Simon Says Stamp kit, which just worked really well with the image, and then added some embroidery twine with a cowboy boot charm, a little tassel and some initial beads. This can be removed from the card to use on a keyring.

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

Just married

Good morning folks, it's the weekend at last lol. This week has seemed to go on forever, and I'm really hoping for some crafty time this weekend. 

This is the last of the wedding cards I made for my son and daughter in law. 

The car was stamped from a free stamp set that Jude got recently on a craft magazine. I stamped it twice, then cut it out and coloured them both with Copic markers. When I put the card together I put one car over the other raised on foam tape.

I covered the windows with Glossy Accents to give them a bit of shine. 

The papers are from a Lili of the Valley paper pad called Winter Wishes.

I wrote the sentiments on the computer and then printed them on card stock and cut them out with tag dies. 

I used antique lace, blue ribbon, a blue tassel that's been in the craft stash forever! and a little heart brad to attach it. 

Then I cut up some pearl trim and used the single pearls on the ribbon and on the car. Then I added a couple of little resin flowers to the bottom corner. 

Then all it needed was a double bow, some silver twine tied in a bow and a little Love charm.

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