Just a quick card for Summer

Well as I haven't yet had the chance to get my tutorial up and running I thought I had better upload a nice little card I made the other day from a new lot of shaped cards I have just got.

It's not normal for me to try a different shaped card, I usually stick to the straight edged boring shapes LOL so this quite suprised me when it turned out like this:


This is a DL card with a wonderful curved front. And it also came with an oval plain topper and an envelope. 

I covered the front with some pretty Summery coloured paper I had in my stash, you know, one of those sheets you buy then have no idea what your going to do with it, or you decide to put it away safely as it's too lovely to use. 

Anyway after my wobbly cutting out I decided I had better edge the whole front with peel off's, afterall little white edges isn't the preffered look is it.....

I then decided to add some colour to the topper and edge that with my Gold marker. And to finish off I used a fab butterfly topper I made a short time back. You can see it better in this photo: 



I coloured the flowers and butterfly with my Sakura Gel pens then glazed the whole butterfly with 3D glaze which really set it off nicely.

I finished off with a contrasting panel and some 3D flowers and left the inner panel blank until I can decide whether to add another panel or leave it blank.

Anyway enough from me for today, have a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend.

I have entered this card in the "Sunday Stamper 100" competion, make sure you pop on over to check out all the fab entries, there is some great talent out there :O)

Can you believe it's April already...

Well I just don't know where the time goes. One minute it's January and the next it's April already and I will soon be 40 something.........

The new website is coming along a treat, although my service provider has been a big nightmare over the last week. The database server went down and no matter what you say to them they were oblivious. Anyway they eventually listened and everything is back up and running now thankfully.

So if you haven't been to visit already please feel free to come take a look and tell me what you think, all critiques welcome good or bad. You can find me here.

I recently decided to have a go at making an exploding box. I have seen many different versions of this type of box and I will be posting my version here along with a tutorial how to make a similar box once I get the wording right so that everyone can understand me that is LOL.....

I'm really pleased with the end result so pop back soon to read all about it.

Right enough from me Happy Easter.
