Good morning lovelies - I hope you're feeling well and happy. If not have a big hug from me!!!!!
Its mad Thursday today - always busy but the lovely thing is a planned crafternoon with my mum - we're going to do another sheena tutorial - we did one on Tuesday - too - it was a relatively quick one involving embossing and inky fun. This is what I made:
It was a quick one to do - the card blank was embossed with the A4 maple leaf folder. A sheet of centura pearl was embossed with the 5x7 birds folder and cut to size. Another piece of centura pearl was inked with a mixture of distress inks and cosmic shimmer mist sprays applied with a sponge then embossed and the relief was inked with stazon. That's about it but a technique I will use again!
My other card for today had been made with the Little Claire challenge in mind - there is a sketch and the theme is autumn.
I've used a topper I won from Little Claire's august challenge and papers from hunkydory. The leaf diecuts are all from spellbinders.
I'd like to enter this card into the Little Claire Autumn challenge
