black and red card

Good evening everyone, hope you are all having a good weekend.

I love black and red and love this card!
I coloured the Gorjuss girl with Promarkers - the red is Berry Red

I got out all the little pieces of red and black card I have left over from other projects.

I stamped and embossed the black card with a flourish stamp and the rose stamp is embossed with cherry smelling embossing powder!!

The frame behind the girl is a Nellie Snellen die and embossed with red glitter powder.
I distressed the edges with scissors and used black soot to distress the edges of the red card.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Passion for Promarkers - Distressing

Crafts and Me - Distressing

Delightful Sketches - use scraps
Dutch Dare Card Challenges - Distressing


Thank you very much for looking

heart shaped easel card

I'm on a bit of a roll at the moment! I've made a couple of cards today and a tag!


This gorgeous romantic couple is a photo stamp by Oxford Impressions.
I used some vintage style pretty papers and cut out some flowers too.
The flowers are glittered.
I'm really pleased with the way this card turned out.
I am entering this card into the pink and glittery challenge on Crafts and Me challenge site as this is quite pink and glittery!

Week 4 of Project 52

'The best things in life aren't things'

This the next instalment of Project 52 on Soul Scrappers.
For the background I tore strips of book, music and stamped paper and glued them to a card base. When it was dry I painted a thin coat of white to soften the printing.

Thanks to my followers and visitors :)

Winter Wonderland stepper card

Hope you are having a nice weekend!

I made this stepper card for a few challenges:

Totally Gorjuss - #110 Let it Snow

Saturday Challenge - All things great and Small

Frosted designs - use glitter
Cute Card Thursday - anything goes

Crafts and Me challenges - Winter (Snow/Snowflakes)

I used glitter on my snow (writer) on the trees and also on the background behind the girl.

I'm really pleased at the way my deer turned out - first I coloured them with promarkers and then dotted with the blender to create spots. (it didn't show while wet but as it dried they appeared as if by magic!)

Thanks for looking
