Sparkly 18th

Another card that has winged it's way up North is for my friend's 18th Birthday. This card was a total experiment for me in regards to decorating the shoe. I had originally considered doing the whole shoe in gems, then changed my mind.

I used a previous sketch from SSW2 for the layout. The image is from Crafters Companion & is just so cute. I coloured with Promarkers & edged with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. I added white & clear WOK to the streamers & the base & heel of the shoe. The top half of the shoe was covered with Red Stickles. It really created a lovely glittery shoe. I then added 2 different sized gems to the bow. The papers are Vintage Charm from MME & I just finished the card off with gems & organza ribbon.

I took the main layout through to the inside of the card using the same papers as on the front. x Clare x

Spring Bunny

This is my 2nd card of the month, also the 2nd card to go to my friend up in Barnoldswick :-) I found this cute bunny stamp in the back of my stamp stash & decided it really needed to be used.

I coloured with Promarker & Mirage pens. I used these gorgeous papers from the Prima Sun Kiss A4 paper stack. The corners & butterflies were cut from some new dies that I have treated myself to & I sparkled them up using WOS & Stickles. I then diecut the friends sentiment & added lots more stickles. I layered the card up using a previous sketch from SSW2 x Clare x
