Cupcakes

Dear bloggers,

Here is a quick one made with fancy gift wrap. I went over the dotty parts of the cupcakes with my silver Sakura gel pen, used glossy accents on the icing and roses and finished off with rhinestones. There is silver/pink washi tape at the bottom to complete this simple beauty.

I will participate in the following challenges with this card:

Acetate card

Hello bloggers,

Here is a card to show you today where I was trying out the famous partial die cut technique. Well, it happened partially and I had to improvise and finally with sparkly silver washi tape and a grey one as well, this is what turned out. You can see the acetate on the right which goes all the way inside. I have stuck the die cut leaf on the inside as well to cover up the glue behind the leaf on the top of the card. The acetate sheet which you can barely see was cut from a larger part of packaging. I agree, that I could have done a better job with the picture even though I thought I was very creative to use my daughter's sparkly grey top behind the photo. So much for that.

The sentiment is a stick on from a scrap booking store which closed down a few years ago. How I used to love going there. It was like a mini vacation for me - browsing without any agenda, talking to the staff and often attending their card making buffets.

I will participate in the following challenges:

I LOVE sunflowers

Dear bloggers,

Here is a card made with an image that was on the front of a health brochure. It is really pretty in real life with a glossy finish on the sunflower. I have used a Hero Arts rubber stamp to cover up the text on the image.

Ribbon & Washi and all sashy

Hello lovely bloggers,

I am very chuffed to learn that one of my cards was a top rocketeer in 613 Avenue Create.

Here is my card to share today which is a simple creation with ribbon and washi. The Birthday greeting sentiment was mounted on foam dots after lining it on black cardstock. 

I will participate in the following challenges:
