Hi,
I am back again today sharing another card at the Muse Card Club.

muse_logo

This week I have a card using some of my favourite colours – teals and blues. I created the background by cutting strips in varying widths and adhering them to a panel. I then white embossed my images over the top. The small dots are white enamel accents.

Wow…2012 is about to come to an end! Hard to believe really.

Today I am sharing a mini card set that I created for my sister-in-law as a Christmas gift. I love making sets of cards as I think they make the perfect handmade gift. I should have photographed them in pairs to reduce the number of photos, but I didn’t think about that in the rush just before I had to wrap them and send them!

I coloured in the daisy die and also the background pattern with Copic markers.

I love using Hero Arts note cards as the base…I love all of the colours!

Supplies

Stamps: Hero Arts/Studio Calico Lattice background stamp

Ink: Memento inks – Bahama Blue, Tangelo, Sweet Plum, Lady Bug, Bamboo Leaves, Hero Arts – Soft Pool Shadow Ink

Card: Hero Arts Note cards – Cerulean, Poppy, Pool, Iris, Punch and Grass

Other Supplies: Copic markers, Simon Says Stamp Fresh Daisies die, PTI Block Alphabet die collection, Cuttlebug, WRMK Corner Chomper, Tombow Mono Multi glue

I appreciate you stopping by. I’ll be back soon with another mini set that I made – slightly different to the one above.

Today I am popping in quickly with a gift tag to share…I LOVE tags. When I saw that Cas-ual Fridays (CFC #80) was having a gift tag challenge, I just had to play along. There is some stamping on the background, but the sentiment and the bird cage are rub-ons. Very quick and easy to make – that’s about all I have time for these days!

Supplies

Stamps: Hero Arts Leaf and Floral background (CG 405)

Ink: Hero Arts Shadow Ink – Soft Pool

Card: Hero Arts Layering Papers – Pool

Other Supplies: EAD rub-ons (One is Paper Smooches and I can’t remember the name of the other one), AnnaBelle Stamps Icicle Sprinkles, Kaisercraft Grosgrain ribbon – pink, AnnaBelle Stamps twine – 0.8mm white,

I appreciate you stopping by,

Marion
