Spotlight Card

I am in a bit of a transitional period with my cards at the moment as I am experimenting with new products & techniques. I am normally a bit behind with these things so a lot of you will be familiar with these ideas a lot more than me lol!! I decided to try out the "Spotlight" Technique for this card. I used the tutorials over at Splitcoaststampers & High Hopes Stamps.


I followed last week's sketch over at Sunday Sketch & Stamp. I used my fave papers from Nitwit..... again lol!! I coloured the image using Promarkers. The little pegs were plain wood & I coloured them using a fab product that I am testing out called Buff it. Here is a close up of the image.

I followed the sketch through to the inside of the card & used brads to hold the corner instead of pegs.

I am hoping to get some more cards made this week but have a busy one so I may end up showing them the week after x Clare x

Love My Choo Choo Train

Well May has been & gone & June seems to have really snuck up on us! Today I have a card for you using a cute image that I am now the proud owner of.

I used the sketch from Sunday Sketch & Stamp & used these fun colourful papers. The image was coloured with Promarkers & I added some Distress Ink round the edge. I then added a combination of Jute & Twine & tied them together with a button.
