Birthday Balloons

Hello All
               This is a card I made earlier on this year for my Dad's birthday.  Like many of you I sometimes struggle with masculine cards.  I love this colour combination and am very happy with how it turned out.

I started out with quite a bit of sponging to soften the edges of the card stock.  The Crumb Cake card base and Very Vanilla layer where sponged with Crumb Cake ink.  The Night of Navy layer was run through the big shot and the Dynamic Hexagons Textured Embossing Folder and then sponged with Night of Navy.  The Cherry Cobbler layer was punched with the Triple Banner Punch and then sponged with Cherry Cobbler.

I stamped the smaller balloon in Cherry Cobbler ink on Very Vanilla card first and then stamped the clouds in Night of Navy.  Then I stamped the larger balloon in Crumb Cake ink on a piece of Very Vanilla and then die cut with Up & Away Thinlits.  The birthday sentiment was stamped using Night of Navy and the Stamp-a-ma-jig.

Bremuda Dragonfly

Hi All
           I just love the dragonfly image from Dragonfly Dreams and the co-ordinating die Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits.  My aim with this card was to keep things relatively simple but as you can see I got caught up with my layers.  The dragonfly is stamped in Bermuda Bay on Whisper White then die cut.  Then layered onto Gold Metallic Thread and then onto a piece of Bermuda Bay cut with a circle from the Stitched Framelits.  I then stamped the Whisper White rectangle layer with the dotted image from Dragonfly Dreams in So Saffron.  The sentiment also from Dragonfly Dreams is stamped on the So Saffron card base in So Saffron.  For an added bit of sparkle I used Clear Wink of Stella on the Dragonfly Wings, it's a bit hard to see in the photo but it sparkles prettily.

Fabulous Friend

Hiya All
               There are so many gorgeous products in the new Annual Catalogue I just had to start sharing some of my creations.  I hope to be blogging regularly again now at least onc a week.  Here's a card created recently using the gorgeous Lovely Words Thinlits Dies.  I am so loving these dies, they are so versatile.  For this card I used Calypso Coral as the card base with a strip of the beautiful water coloured paper from Delightful Daisy DSP.  The die cut panel is Very Vanilla layered on Calypso Coral, it is easiest to use the Fine Tip Glue Pen to adhere the layers together.  To set it all off I used three different sized Basic Pearls in opposite corners.
