Kick up your heels

Good morning all, and happy Friday. I hope you have had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend.

Today's card was made using the February 2019 My Monthly Hero Kit from Hero Arts. You may remember this card that I made a couple of weeks ago. Well I wanted to use the negative pieces from the die-cut background so I kept them and used them on today's card.

They were cut from the X-Cut Adhesive Metal Effect Sheets, and using the backing paper that I took off the original card as a stencil, I stuck them onto a deep teal background.

I stamped the image and sentiment from the set with Versamark ink, and then heat embossed them with Gold Fine Detail Embossing Powder, from Cosmic Shimmer.

Then I added a few gold sequins to finish it off.

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

Gold and Black Birthday

Good morning all. I hope you have had a good weekend. We have been busy as usual, but I did manage to get in a couple of hours in the craft room, so that keeps me happy lol.

Today's card is the one I made for my baby brother (39) for his birthday last Friday. I used the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit for February 2019. Which is a lovely Art Deco style kit, and as soon as I spotted the car in it I had an idea for this card. 

I cut the die cover plate with gold metal effect adhesive sheet from X-Cut, added this to a piece of black card, and then masked off the open area so I could add an inked skyline into the space. 

I used a die from a magazine to cut a small skyline scene, and then inked through the die-cut using Brilliance Galaxy Gold Dew Drop ink. Then I heat embossed the car and sentiment onto black card using a fine detail gold embossing powder from Cosmic Shimmer, and added these to the card with foam tape. 

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