mid month Inspiration


Morning all hope you have all had a fab weekend 
I did I met up with some of my Facebook friends, and Mags 
one of my DT sisters pics will be up here later this week.

This is my mid month Inspiration for you all I have done a simple card
this time.

I used the



Extra thick embossing powder
Tim holtz distress ink Shabby shutter 
Crafters companion CoreDinations  pastels card
A4 embossing folder
Versamark clear ink pad
Stuff from my stash  
8x8 card
All highlighted words take you directly to the item I have used.







I took the stencil Stuck it to the card with masking tape then I and dabbed 
the clear pad over the stencil make sure you get it in all the holes,
Then I added the embossing powder then heated it with a heat tool.
once this was done I took 2 pots from the mica powders
and put a small amount over the image and rubbed it across the image
to leave a very soft look I then took the distress ink and added some color  around 
the image. When I embossed the background I used the same ink and rubbed it over the
raised embossing to highlight them.
Then I added some ribbon flower and feather and gems from my stash. 
Hope you have got some Inspiration from my card.

 and new followers.

Heart of love


Afternoon everyone Thank you for all your wonderful comments 
and taking time to stop by.
As some of you know I have had to pack most of my craft stuff away ready for the move
but I can still get to my DT box lol its everything I have from Imagination crafts
and a box of to alter lol



So I have this medium heart a small canvas and a frame 
Some I got from Fernil Designs there laser cuts are amazing the best 
I have seen. so pop over to them and see what other goodies they have. 


I cut a piece of  pink tulle just a bit bigger than the heart 
and using my heat gum melted it into the shape of the heart them used 
hot glue to stick it down and to leave raised bits.


Then i cut a few more bits of tulle and glued down in any gaps and melted them
to fit. I painted the glue in the same pink as the heart its an acrylic paint 
from plaid. 
I took the baby canvas and covered it with a clear embossing ink and covered it 
with a pink powder I have I did this twice so it was a nice thick cover.
I then took lace and frilled it around the back.
Then I took a piece of gingham ribbon and put a not in it then glued to the back of the canvas.
I used a frame from Fernli and glued it to the canvas and bought the ribbon ends forward.
I add a bit of princess ribbon some ribbon and perils and a bit of an earing.
To finish I used Diamond sparkle  a white paste that dries clear and leaves an amazing sparkle.
One of my new cols and a must have as you can do so much with this one col.

Hope you liked this one

This month I was sent this beautiful Wisteria Stencil 
I saw Jen one of my DT sisters had made this card box 
she has a tutorial on her Blog 
It is so easy to make and looks fab
I made the box out of pearlised white card
and used prima rondelle paper collection around the box
 I used the stencil and  pastel green sparkle medium 
I added it to the sides of the box then glued it together.





I only  added a ribbon bow for the outside 
as I wanted the wisteria to be the standout
and it suited a simple look. 

You can decorate the flaps I liked it this way.
all the flowers are flat ones from my stash
Hope you have fun creating something new and different.
