Postcard Swap

Hi everyone! Hope you all stayed safe during Storm Doris!

I can share this postcard with you now as the swaps have been done.

The theme was Love letters & old lace.

I embossed a white piece of card using an embossing folder & my trusty Grand Calibur. Inked around the card using Distress Inks, to highlight the embossing and give an aged look.

I found some backing paper with script on it. Cut a piece of this, inked the edges & placed down the centre of my postcard.

Die cut the hearts from black card & went over these with gold Inka Gold.

Die cut the words from some red card.

I thought it was needing something else down the centre so I made some small envelopes from copy paper, inked around these to give that aged look.

Arranged the envelopes, hearts & words onto the postcard.

Added some small hearts onto the envelopes & some pearl hearts onto the postcard.

Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,

Bev xx

I love making these little pieces of art - can be quite challenging finding small images to use.

Hope you like them.

Bio

Pink Gem Designs is based in Stourport on Severn, Worcestershire UK.

Began trading in Nov. 2008 to design cute and whimsical craft stamps in clear polymer.

As digi products became more popular Pink Gem Designs also started to produce digital stamps/Card Topper Kits and other digital products such as downloadable papers, clip art etc..

I was lucky enough to receive Little Mille with Heart Balloon digi image from Pink Gem Designs.
I printed it off in the colour version & cut it out.
Stuck the heart backing paper to the 6x6 card. The paper Millie is mounted on was some digi paper that I had printed off -  I thought this was just the right look for the card. Placed Millie onto this with some foam pads for a bit of dimension.
Found some ribbon in my stash to place behind this, 
Cut hearts from pink & red card, arranged these & placed on card, added some flowers & some die cut letters.
Hop you like it & have time to pop over to the Crafty Calendar blog & see all the other great makes by the DT.

Thanks for stopping by.

Challenge 23 Creative Artiste

Hi Everyone! Time for another challenge over at Creative Artiste,

Theme - anything goes.

Sponsor

I had the words from Scrapmatts to use. Because of the words I decided some kind of suitcase would be good.

I found this design for a pen pot in my Silhouette Design store.

Cut the design from Kraft card. 

Went over the sides using a Scrapmatts stencil & some DI,

Coloured the words using my Aztec Metallic paints.

Put the penpot together, stuck on the embellishments & added the tag with some twine.

Hope you have time to pop over to the blog to see the other DT's makes & enter the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,
