Beautiful -Cosmo cricket

Here is a cork card, made using everything Cosmo Cricket, i cut strips of 12x12 paper and made into roses,which i edged with Adirondack gold ink,the sentiment and butterflies are Cosmo Cricket Rub ons, i used a large heart Sizzix die and cut the hearts,then applied the 12x12 paper,cut round the heart and distressed with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo, on the reverse i glued a card board stip and covered with complimenting paper, then on the bottom heart, i cut a slit in the cork for the card to stand in, this means its lays flat for posting or storage.Then i added the velvet ribbon from Cosmo Cricket.

Cosmo Cricket products are available from Karen at Charmed Cards and crafts.

NEW YEARS DAY 2011

Well its already nearly the end of the 1st of January 2011, beofre long it will be Christmas cards to make all over again!

Here is a sample card made for the launch of 'Sheena Douglass' Little bit sketchy range of stamps. Available from Crafters Companion.

I stamp onto card using a black stazon and sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat embossed.

Then is was just a case of printing some backing paper,from Jayne Nestorenkos Adorables cd, adding 2011 by the verse writer and stamping 'Cheers' onto the card using the same plate of stamps.

With Love on your special day-Joanna Sheen Enchanted Dreams

This 8x8 square card was a sample card made for the launch of Enchanted Dreams by Joanna Sheen on Create & Craft tv.

I printed the beautiful image onto glossy photo paper and printed a sheet of the backing paper onto good quality printer paper, which i mounted onto the 8x8 card,then i laid a layer of vellum across the backing paper to give a subtle effect to the backing paper, as the image is so intense it would get lost with a busy background,i think.

The sentiment is from the interactive section of the cd.

Joanna Sheen Sample from Enchanted Dreams

I love all the purples in the images!

SWALK2- WITH SYMPATHY

Here is another sample for the Pick of the week on Create & Craft, which finished today,of

SWALK2

This is using the most touching image 'With Sympathy' . I think less is more with this card, as the image says it all!

I used Tim Holtz Distress inks with a paint brush and water,to apply to the stamped image, which,as watercolour inks,i used stazon to stamp into the Spellbinders scallop oval, then added to the a5 Ivory Centura pearl card.

Finally... I can post pictures
