Jennifer and Dan's card

Good morning lovelies - I have scheduled this post as I'm hoping to have a lie in after last nights dinner out!! Here's hoping that my little chipmunks haven't got me up with the lark as usual!!! Here's a picture from last night - it really was lovely :



Today I have a card to share with you that I have made for the daughter of my running partner Sue. Jennifer and Dan get married tomorrow - its going to be a real family affair - sister Kathryn is doing the hair and make -up, the bride and her mum made all the invitations, Sue also made the cake. I just hope that all goes well on the day - Jennifer has even made her own bouquets - using pinecones - the whole theme is one of art deco, navy blue and silver pine cones. Hence the card I made:

I did one of these very similar but without the pinecones and in a different colourscheme in september - I love it so it was an easy choice - especially when my mums new tattered lace dies were delivered - so I got cracking - with my sparkling silver WOW powders and kanban stamps. I do hope they like it!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenge - WOW powderswowembossingpowder - family!

Big Hugs and hope to see you again tomorrow - two posts for me  then!

yellow rose

Good morning! This is another scheduled post! I'd like to show you the card I made for my Joanna Sheen Forum Cardswap this month - the theme was roses - and I had to think long and hard before I remembered I had this old kanban stamp from many years ago. I chose yellow as the colour as I adore yellow roses:

The background was another kanban stamp that I stamped in butterscotch adirondack over and over to create the background itself. The image was coloured with promarkers. I used DI around the outside of the image (scattered straw) and then added it to a mat cut with a spellbinders die. The ribbon is from Creative Expressions.

Thanks for joining me today and I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Art Deco Inspired at WOW powders

Morning lovelies! Hope you are well and happy and thanks for your comments on yesterdays tag - very much appreciated.

We should all be heading off to Stoke on Trent today to meet up with my mil plus the german side of DH's family who are over visiting at the moment. We're intending to go to the Potteries museum and art gallery and take it from there! Hope we have a good day!

I've got a card I'm very pleased with today to share with you. I made it specifically for the WOW powders challenge which this month is Art Deco Inspired. I did some scoring with my hougie to make the lines on the card and rubbed the lines with versamark before adding WOW powders and heat setting. The pattern behind the image started off as black card and I used a kanban stamp with versa mark and added the pattern all over the card before adding wow powders and heat setting. I then cut the card to fit the inner triangle. The image was stamped with black archival then I added clear embossing powder and heat set before colouring with promarkers and cutting with a go kreate die.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
