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

First Blogging of 2015!!

I hope you all had a lovely end to 2014 & an easy but cold start to 2015 :-) I have finally had chance to get some birthday cards done for this month as I have a rush of birthdays all at the same time. This first card has been made for my best friend's son. I can' believe he was 25 this year!!

I have used this cute Crafter's Companion stamp & coloured him in using a mix of Mirage & Promarker pens. The papers are a mixture of Nitwit & Mosaic Memories. I added a few gems & a stitched ribbon. The sentiment is also from CC x Clare x
