All Occasions Card

I have my first club night for the year next week, and this is one of the cards we will be making. I will be show casing the new 'Basic Border Dies' which will be available for purchase on 4 May.

For this card I have used my favourite border in the set, it's my favourite because I can do two different borders with the one die. I die cut 2 borders, one in daffodil delight, and one in white, which was a larger piece so I could use it for the background. For the white border, I simply trimmed off the small scalloped edges and then placed this piece over the top of the daffodil delight piece.

The patterned background and flower I used, is from the 'True Love' DSP. I coloured the flower with my daffodil delight and granny apple green blender pens. I used 'Gorgeous Grunge' stamp set (now retired) for the ink splatter behind the flower. I also coloured some old clear glitter enamel dots (also retired) with my daffodil delight blender pen to make the bling pop a little more on the card.

 

Forever & Always Mother's Day Card

Well, it is only one week until Mother's Day here in Australia, so I have one last Mother's day card to share. I was inspired by Anna Pickering's card, as I have wanted to use the beautiful gold leaves and gold embellishment hoops that I purchased ages ago.

I changed the card quite a bit, I used the small flower from the "Forever & Always' stamp set, and used different colours for the background wash and flower. I also added a different sentiment, some bling, linen thread and a couple of strips of DSP from the 'True Love' series.
