3 patterned papers

A fabby dare from Lythan. I used delicious Basic Grey Ambrosia papers, stamps by Purple Onion and Papermania paper frills. The scallopy-ish shape was freehand cut, stamped on the back with big brackets stamps to get the shape. It's nice to be back daring :)

Happy New Year!

I am still on the planet, just a bit busy!

Here's a Happy New Year card I made with Basic Grey Ambrose, 7gypsies buckle, papermania paper lace and ribbon from a set, the manufacturer of which escapes me right now! I do love these gorgeous colours, it's just a shame I had to use the camera flash as it was taken on a gloomy day. Roll on spring...

This second one is Basic Grey Sultry, Bo Bunny spotty ribbon and a papermania flower and button, more delicious colours.

It's a wrap!

It's a wrap is this week's dare, and I used vellum I've had so long it's vintage, along with yummy new Basic Grey Euphoria, which was sent to me by the fab and generous Kate, you're a star , thank you :)



Some pricking for faux sewing, inking with Brilliance Ink and some American Crafts ribbon. The tree stamp is rather delicious and from Purple Onion, love it. Thanks for looking :)

I've started so I'll finish

A quickie post, but the actual card took ages as I cut out all the swirls from a piece of K&Co Mira paper by hand. Once I was half way through I very nearly gave up but it was worth it. Quite therapeutic to do in front of the telly but I'll only make one, lol!
Fiskars cloud scissors, hole punch, berisfords ribbon and a scalloped cuttlebug cut circle. The stamp is Purple Onion, a cute freebie from a recent order :)
