Graduation

This card I designed using my Pazzles for the mortar board and scroll I always add the graduates name into the scroll as this makes it a personal keepsake. I also used a sizzix mortar board die and used a strip of torn parchment for the small scroll. I printed the greeting in MCS and added borders to match then stamped the two corners with an ornate corner stamp

Glamorous Steampunk

 
I received my new Steampunk craft artist Cd's the other day so had to play with them, I needed to create a girly card for a friend.
I used Pink Material and the Scissor tool to get the edges also the Lace brushes from the photo real brushes. I printed the greeting and name then used the colouring tool to fade the colour and shadowed this.
I added the mannequin, boots and perfume bottles from the Steampunk Parlour Kit and could not resist the little butterfly but coloured it pink to match. I used two of the tags to sit down the edge of the lace. I then printed it out I was going to print the images again and decoupage them on top  but I decided to give the card lift by adding sequins, glitter and bows

I used MCS to create this card and the Fab Glam Fifties CD for the image and background. I created the background first with the Greeting top and bottom. Then I chose the image printed it separately and added a double corner ribbon to the topper before sticking it down. I glittered the image using fine crystal glitter and a Diamante for the centre of the bow

Fun Fishing

 

This is an A4 card I created the background in craft artist I placed fished onto the paged and used the blend mode to give a watermark effect. The Greeting I used the effects tab and gave this a Glass effect and a slight shadow so that it stood off the page. The image came from MCS Mens CD  I used the Punch to get the shape and did the same with materials from Craft Artist. I added a shadow to these to give a layered effect. The Brother Button I used the same materials and the punch added text.

I printed the backing page the image and the button seperate then put them all together onto an A$ card then I added little google eyes to the fish and diamond Glaze to the button (I would normally add the glaze before I fixed this to the card but it turned out.)

Wings of Hope (Spellbinders)

 
 
After receiving my new dies I noticed that the wings of hope had these wings and they looked like a masquerade mask. I cut them inked and treble embossed them with gold embossing powder and embellished them with gems, feathers, sequins and glitter. I used the wings again and drew around them to create a slightly larger mat an idea from Sue Wilson.The actual background I created in Craft Artist using some of the great special effects and a digi kit from the Vitaj collection.
I finished by adding some border peel offs and a ribbon to give the effect of the handle.
