Good evening my fellow Crafters.   What have you been crafty about today?

I would like to share my latest creation with you.....

.

To start with, take a piece of white 6 x 6 “ square card stock, choose your selected Oxide Distress inks and Distress the card vertically, blending the colour break line as you go. I’ve used 4 colours in this example. Spritz with water...and watch the magic oxidation happen. Heat set to dry.

 I’ve taken a decorative die and cut the right vertical edge of the top card layer.

 Cut an 8” strip of 2” organsa ribbon,and thread a bling stone buckle. Fix this to the card at the rear of the Oxide ink square, top and bottom edges.

Now for construction...you’ll need a white 6x6” card base and use oxides and a flourish stamp to stamp the right edge. Affix the Oxide card layer with ribbon to the 6x6” card base.  I use either a good Craft glue or ultra sticky red clear tape . 

An option which I’ve added is a vertical strip of clear gems, just to add sparkle to your card. 

Stamp a sentiment and make a banner . Distress the edges in the oxides to coordinate..... affix with foam pads.  Take a step back and admire your work.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this project, I’d welcome any feedback and of course happy to answer any questions you have.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello everyone.... hope you’ve had a fun filled day.
Here in Bedfordshire we’ve had a little bit of sun......so here’s a card for the occasion.

Crafting with Honey Doo Crafts “Flowers for Design” flower stamps on pearlised paper, stamp again on coloured vellum, , and fussy cut until your hearts content.  using the same stamp and a selection of distress inks, stamp the base card.  Add a square die cut with your chosen sentiment, a larger one behind to colour coordinate....Add the flowers and some ribbon flourish.....
how special is this....

Thanks for popping by...hope to see you again tomorrow.

Good evening my crafty friends......
on a day like today with the UK weather as it is this winter, I thought I’d brighten up our day.
Using Honey Doo Crafts Butterfly border stamps and outline die, a litttle Dylusion ink sprays to create the background..... this masterpiece appeared...

The sentiment was stamped using Distress Inks. Fine detail in aqua blue liquid pearls just to finish off the card.

Thanks for looking...and I hope you will pop by again soon.
