A card made for a neighbour to give his wife. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This 1st picture is the box, The card turned out too bulky to fit any envelope. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a spellbinder die to cut out the shape....I have to say since investing in the metal adapter plate for my Big Shot all my intricate dies are getting far more attractive to use!</div>

I printed the sentiment and insert it into the centre recess. I have used centura pearl card to give a luxurious feel to the card ...but obviously it had to have some flowers.</div>

My other half was very complimentary of the card when he first saw it...he thought I'd made each and every flower!!!! Love him! No all the flowers are from <a href="https://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/">Wild Orchid crafts</a>. Arranged on the card and stuck with some serious adhesive. Behind the flowers I tucked some stamped and die cut leaves from <a href="http://www.clearlybesottedstamps.com/">Clearly Besotted</a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This card uses the old sizziz dies by Karen Burniston, the Pop N Cuts . I started with a 6 x 6 card base. I stamped various cups on decorative paper, from the Lawn Fawn 'Love you a Latte' stamp set and die cut them out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The label is a die which is part of the Elizabeth crafts designs, Tag Pivot Card (also designed by Karen Burniston) This was simply decorated with the pattern paper and a small 'Happy Birthday' stamped.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's card was a challenge for me, as I told the recipient, I REALLY don't like including photos in my cards.<br />
This dog is an integral part , as it is from the dog and the ladies' work mates.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as far as I'm concerned the best way to treat a photo on a card is to treat it like a photo on a card!!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I used the Mama Elephant<a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Polaroid-Fun-Creative-Cuts/p/39970861/category=8719335"> 'Polaroid fun'</a>, to cut the photo and it's frame.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-mEdPPMkgOxPRovisShUa3xeSvsKMpwAvRG4SdMNwyniKEPyQCtIEXvT-kXoz7bfzd3_gIX9kS966_UBkjvzVGLGZPGcdvnOPOmHCPjXueb8rpu2reCi1WPAAKJtJlOv-AN5LtZbKmc0/s1600/IMG_3264.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-mEdPPMkgOxPRovisShUa3xeSvsKMpwAvRG4SdMNwyniKEPyQCtIEXvT-kXoz7bfzd3_gIX9kS966_UBkjvzVGLGZPGcdvnOPOmHCPjXueb8rpu2reCi1WPAAKJtJlOv-AN5LtZbKmc0/s320/IMG_3264.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The 'Girls' also needed a polaroid, so I used the smaller frame in the die set to cut each lady out of the Art Impression stamp '<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Impressions-Girlfriends-Rubber-Stamp-Uptown/dp/B007LAYA8K/ref=sr_1_34?ie=UTF8&qid=1442847498&sr=8-34&keywords=art+impressions+stamps+girlfriends">Uptown Girls'</a>. I did have to stamp the image several times to fit the die around each individual. I coloured these images simply with my Kuretake Clean Color real brush markers, using glossy accents on the sun glasses once the card was complete.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbjqbda3Dg8KHLN5r6S4O45IkLf0PRPFP7DXbdmCHoCN-dR92ZKcw5Cc3-iBNwJVPT3LWeJBbcukblo__3BESWN-ocNw5pG-n2f-pAtaqG8S7YDx-j2BXVBpOBEoulPyQp0wFE9DUSGPo/s1600/IMG_3265.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbjqbda3Dg8KHLN5r6S4O45IkLf0PRPFP7DXbdmCHoCN-dR92ZKcw5Cc3-iBNwJVPT3LWeJBbcukblo__3BESWN-ocNw5pG-n2f-pAtaqG8S7YDx-j2BXVBpOBEoulPyQp0wFE9DUSGPo/s320/IMG_3265.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut the frames out in white and black, then stacked them just a tiny bit off centre to give that dimension around the picture.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ-Vf48THkrI2IJ3g0zweTKUJkxuyn4CT6S3rprqg_fh42bArB4Bt4oRZnH1EUoVUvmuDkSExU3urUszL815SDOs9ocDEiSaKz_PSVk9hkQ6xhm0qd5QHnF0f9DiBDHE_KRIyWoyqH-DQ/s1600/IMG_3266.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ-Vf48THkrI2IJ3g0zweTKUJkxuyn4CT6S3rprqg_fh42bArB4Bt4oRZnH1EUoVUvmuDkSExU3urUszL815SDOs9ocDEiSaKz_PSVk9hkQ6xhm0qd5QHnF0f9DiBDHE_KRIyWoyqH-DQ/s320/IMG_3266.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The greeting was embossed in white on some vellum, with the number die cut and also treated with glossy accents. Then card was completed using some sequins and gems scattered around the images.</div>

The front of the card is lovely and simple. The words die cut out of gun metal mirri card, the Christmas has been cut 3 times and stacked up to give plenty of dimension.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tree is from 'Jingle all the way', die cut and stamped , then paper pieced for the greenery.</div>

It's the inside I'm dead chuffed with. This is the first time I've used these dies and it certainly will not be the last. I highly recommend you watch Karen showing you the tricks and tips of using these dies. You'll find a tutorial <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmvOhk57hXQ">HERE</a>.</div>

Everything was cut and put together as is shown in the you tube video. I then thought it needed something else. MFT's Santa in 'Jingle all the way' was just perfect. Die cut, stamped and coloured with my pro markers he fits perfectly at the side of the sleigh. He looks to be over hanging the side of the card but that is the fabulous sleigh die, the pop stands Santa is on is angled slightly so he pops up and out! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment across the top of the card is also from the MFT's stamp set.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I'd share these 3 cards I made...all the same technique, and simple to mass produce.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was inspired by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMGN5mH2iVM">Nichol Magouirk</a> making this card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the Indigoblu '<a href="http://www.indigoblu.com/rubber-stamps-c3/a6-rubber-stamps-c7/indigoblu-baroque-christmas-tree-a6-red-rubber-stamp-by-indigoblu-p86">Baroque Christmas Tree</a>' , I stamped and embossed in white onto some water colour card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also stamped and embossed my greeting , from Winnie and Walter, '<a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/The-Big-the-Bold-and-Merry/p/44295087/category=9316076">The Big,The Bold and the merry</a>, using Ranger Platinum embossing powder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I smooshed some ink pads onto my craft sheet, spritzed with water and dabbed my paper into it, I allowed it to dry and then went back into the ink to add interest and fill gaps.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cards were finished with a mixture of white sequins and die cut embossed stars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a strip of stripy embossed card down one side with a wash of the same colours.</div>

I just added a doodled border to this final one an a little glossy accents on the baubles. This is another stamp from Indigoblu called <a href="http://www.indigoblu.com/rubber-stamps-c3/a6-rubber-stamps-c7/frosted-baubles-a6-red-rubber-stamp-by-indigoblu-p1128">'Frosted Baubles'.</a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello there crafty friends, yes I'm on Christmas ...again!! Sorry!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Todays card uses the My Favorite Things stamps '<a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Jingle-All-The-Way/p/51984901/category=13602176">Jingle all The Way</a>' and also one of their dies, the <a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Christmas-Tree-Cutout-Die-namic/p/52745214/category=13602177">'Christmas tree cutout'</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I initially wanted to use the paper stack I bought last year from Stampin up ( no longer available, but this years stacks are fab!!! <a href="http://www2.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=139595">watch this space</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with a kraft card base, stamped all over with some snow flakes (again from Stampin up last year and no longer available) in white pigment ink. I die cut the Christmas tree cut out, off to one side as I needed to fit santa in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7a8H5BrSSiDpoaiXABHnOlZ4i0vqEUvq3zlvKn_f1N3ayoJQxkme1xV1AxqE0DLGAIftvlEZWrZQVGDn4s9U6XXTFehHRTAnmlAKZf8VaVI-d3SVo9Sa-Y88N4jKDiglB60eSFMZc8IE/s1600/IMG_3241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7a8H5BrSSiDpoaiXABHnOlZ4i0vqEUvq3zlvKn_f1N3ayoJQxkme1xV1AxqE0DLGAIftvlEZWrZQVGDn4s9U6XXTFehHRTAnmlAKZf8VaVI-d3SVo9Sa-Y88N4jKDiglB60eSFMZc8IE/s320/IMG_3241.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Santa is stamped on white card, gloves face and feet coloured with my pro markers , and his out fit paper pieced from some of the plaid paper from the stack. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjH4OHnOqZsSlEwuAVaWwo1ksa0ElBO4u_YKWlUuFul-ToO8bGKoL_Tgmrbs0jFPhrSm9nkrdnnFoyJIpbiurvqCvUflhLSNWDgcIyqA6RwsVmbm1BKM1_Fl9_H5Yf0-lYtZhNdr4LJo4/s1600/IMG_3242.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjH4OHnOqZsSlEwuAVaWwo1ksa0ElBO4u_YKWlUuFul-ToO8bGKoL_Tgmrbs0jFPhrSm9nkrdnnFoyJIpbiurvqCvUflhLSNWDgcIyqA6RwsVmbm1BKM1_Fl9_H5Yf0-lYtZhNdr4LJo4/s320/IMG_3242.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment is from the stamp set, and the finishing touch of paper down the side matches Santas suit. The card is for Christmas so sparkle HAD to be included , in the form of sequins and die cut stars</div>

I used a pink and orange from the Kuretake real brush clean color markers to paint the flowers, adding some pale blue and washing it out around the edges, just to make the flowers pop. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Good morning crafty friends. I'm motoring with the Christmas cards this week. Today's card uses one of the windows from the Trim Craft<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/First-Decorative-Tag-Dies-Windows/dp/B00P6FG0BM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441695381&sr=8-1&keywords=tag+window+dies"> Tag Windows </a>die set, cut out in black and inlaid into the card.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped a snowy scene in the window using an older set from Clarity stamp ' <a href="http://www.claritystamp.co.uk/Clear-Stamps/Christmas/18367-/Christmas-Miniatures-amp-Window-+-MASK---Unmounted-Clear-Stamp-Set">Christmas Minatures</a>', I used some blue ink to create the snow bank around the trees and the sky. Adding the cute snowman in the corner.</div>

Todays card combines<a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Doodle-Buds/p/51169056"> Doodle Buds</a> and <a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Unforgettable/p/47155461">Unforgettable</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was inspired by the wonderful Julia Altemann, who made some animal stamps into balloons simple by adding a tie and a string <a href="http://just-one-more-card.com/2015/08/video-turn-your-critters-into-fun-balloons-with-taws/">HERE</a>.<br />

This elephant obviously needed an alternative balloon to carry him away so why not the doodle buds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The images were stamped onto watercolour card, and coloured with my Clean Color markers.</div>

I painted in the ground and a few clouds to finish the scene.</div>

<a href="http://www.mymumscraftshop.co.uk/my-favorite-things-stamps---jingle-all-the-way-20123-p.asp">'Jingle all the way</a>', was out to play again today, along with the<a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Festive-Greetings/p/43132113"> 'Festive Greetings'</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Santa, tree and presents are all stamped and embossed in white. I used my Clean Color real brush markers to colour in cool shades of blue and purple.<br />
</div>

Santa looked weird once I'd done, I decided it was his white eyes! I went over the embossing with a black marker to rectify this.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For todays card I'm continuing on the festive route. Using the same stamp sets as the post 154 but a completely different card.</div>

Once again water colour card was used as I HAVE to use my Kuretake clean color markers!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by stamping and embossing my greeting using silver embossing powder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The reindeer was stamped in Versafine Onyx black. I then had a trail of fairy lights from the reindeer around the card. I had to draw in the line from the reindeer to the start of the lights but after that the card was simple.</div>

Everything coloured with the clean color markers, then the lights glossy accented, and the reindeer embellished with some white pen on his cheeks and rump.Finally the top right corner of the card was chomped using my corner chomper just to balance out the card.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Two for the price of one today! I know I won't get time to post tomorrow so you get a double posting today!!<br />
For this card I've been playing with these happy stamps from <a href="http://www.wplus9.com/">W Plus 9</a> called '<a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Doodle-Buds/p/51169056">Doodle Buds'</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6-90SlpLkFIz2GUZXM9ydSxYKt9gYqJSR59Bx9h0XwLJf0WnnrIcgf-AmVHhcQB94jgYNjUBRwfrTJHSmmNcOUAuJvJH_Kh99QBOrW-q2xOajYHTdQuPBxpWZpkrV65HSsiAhOtANQdA/s1600/IMG_3128.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6-90SlpLkFIz2GUZXM9ydSxYKt9gYqJSR59Bx9h0XwLJf0WnnrIcgf-AmVHhcQB94jgYNjUBRwfrTJHSmmNcOUAuJvJH_Kh99QBOrW-q2xOajYHTdQuPBxpWZpkrV65HSsiAhOtANQdA/s320/IMG_3128.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I began with the flower heads, stamping and masking to fill up along the card (water colour cardstock). I went on to stamp/ mask to add in the stems. Then I added the birds from the W Plus 9 set '<a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Happy-Mail/p/51169064">Happy Mail'</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The clean color real brush markers from kuretake were used to colour the image. I used 2 colours on each of the flower petals, just scribbling in the colour then blending them together with a little water.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPaFZBnCHDxeZJ_nw8qo9tIesdrFpDgHn4kabA2eOtSSaP_kmieHM_np5BzgpreQsnHINnY3sLcSyvWBGZgj6FHdO4wGJMXJdwil7RbZCR5JCvCcoT58ysGDwQasz24dngcwxJha_g1ew/s1600/IMG_3129.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPaFZBnCHDxeZJ_nw8qo9tIesdrFpDgHn4kabA2eOtSSaP_kmieHM_np5BzgpreQsnHINnY3sLcSyvWBGZgj6FHdO4wGJMXJdwil7RbZCR5JCvCcoT58ysGDwQasz24dngcwxJha_g1ew/s320/IMG_3129.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the image was completely dry I went in with my white pen and added a little pattern to some of the petals. I also added some glossy accents to the centre of each flower.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finished the card with a lovely sentiment from the Doodle buds set, and a doodled line all the way around the card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not too confident using all these bright vivid colours but I love how this card turned out. I have recently bought a little colour wheel , and I used it for this card to coordinate my colours. I can highly recommend investing in one, <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Colour-Wheel-Company-Artists/dp/B00EDKGMQ4/ref=lp_7080331031_1_1?srs=7080331031&ie=UTF8&qid=1440428893&sr=8-1">HERE</a> is mine!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For todays card I'm feeling festive. The wonderful <a href="http://mftstamps.com/">My Favorite Things</a> and their '<a href="http://www.mymumscraftshop.co.uk/my-favorite-things-stamps---jingle-all-the-way-20123-p.asp">Jingle all the way </a>' stamps are used along with <a href="http://www.wplus9.com/">W Plus 9</a>s '<a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Festive-Greetings/p/43132113">Festive Greetings'</a>.<br />

The greeting was stamped and embossed in gold. The santa stamped then masked to allow for the tree behind him. This was all done on water colour card as I have finally aquired the Kuretake 'Real brush clean colour makers' and they are truly my new best friend!! ( haven't linked you to where I bought them as they have double in price!! )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just coloured the image with various markers, blending as I went. I only used water when it came to grounding Santa!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm loving playing with these fabulous flowers from W Plus 9, the 'Doodle Buds'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this card the flower heads have been stamped and masked to form a nice bunch, then the stems were stamped in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIwW9Ys8PXUekioiXzid4MkW_Fdq6YqL_4av6TrB7-UBcAYMBuu5S552IF3yhQVnVC8Aj97WAy5Gp2zRLi2CesJzTOwwzkV3r_eN7ghNi5kZWG59rKvCu1yE6L07EhHR68hmM4AUHum_w/s1600/IMG_3131.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIwW9Ys8PXUekioiXzid4MkW_Fdq6YqL_4av6TrB7-UBcAYMBuu5S552IF3yhQVnVC8Aj97WAy5Gp2zRLi2CesJzTOwwzkV3r_eN7ghNi5kZWG59rKvCu1yE6L07EhHR68hmM4AUHum_w/s320/IMG_3131.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The image was coloured with the clean color markers, then doodled on with a white pen.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMOmUpfQT2XIKxRF5CLqWKGkUYollVHTZDCXzwmv-yAZsm0NAKn51M7QGjFIwy955eDWFkE45fJxbRz1Tm3IVfXd97GFvVTMMCwXK5hCJkE9CyO0uQJMV9-Zszd7uezbVa8K87gIqVJ_w/s1600/IMG_3132.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMOmUpfQT2XIKxRF5CLqWKGkUYollVHTZDCXzwmv-yAZsm0NAKn51M7QGjFIwy955eDWFkE45fJxbRz1Tm3IVfXd97GFvVTMMCwXK5hCJkE9CyO0uQJMV9-Zszd7uezbVa8K87gIqVJ_w/s320/IMG_3132.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then added dots all around the flowers using <a href="http://just-one-more-card.com/">Julia Altemanns</a> technique of one big dot with lots of little dots around it....it gives a random look without the stress of trying to be random ( if that makes any sense at all!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card needed something extra once I'd doodled around it so I stamped some pinstripes on the card base and used the same colours to coordinate with the flowers.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Todays card uses the absolutely fabulous stamp set from <a href="http://altenew.com/">Altenew</a>, <a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Persian-Motifs/p/39242306/category=10103006">'Persian Motifs'</a>...needed this set for just SSOOOO long!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use some watercolour card to stamp and emboss the flowers, I did all my stamping, including the greeting before sprinkling on the<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cosmic-Shimmer-Precious-Embossing-Olympic/dp/B00CLSBLDY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440404958&sr=8-1&keywords=olympic+gold+lustre+embossing+powder"> olympic gold lustre</a> embossing powder from Creative Expressions, and by happy accident some of the powder stuck to the sentiment, giving it an unusual but great look.</div>

You can see my happy accident with the sentiment and embossing powder here. It has given it a kind of ombre' effect, moving from the black ink to the translucent gold....lovely.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Todays card certainly turned out better than I thought it would.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using <a href="http://altenew.com/">Altenews</a> stamps '<a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Floral-Motifs/p/48630358/category=10103006">Floral Motif</a>', I stamped, embossed in gold and masked the flowers, to build up the arrangement. I'll be honest it looked terrible once the embossing was finished, but I persevered and went on to paint it with my <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kuretake-Gansai-Tambi-Japanese-Watercolour/dp/B001MPA6W4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439786047&sr=8-1&keywords=gansai+tambi+watercolor">Gansai Tambi water colours </a>from Kuretake.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Good morning crafty friends. Today's card was inspired by the card made on this video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYSzNFQx2H0">HERE</a> thanks Julia for the inspiration.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With Julias card in mind I thought it would be fun to have the elephant blundering through the words, catching a letter on his way through.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The elephant and his balloon is from the W plus 9 stamp set<a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Unforgettable/p/47155461/category=3351881"> 'Unforgettable'</a>, after laying out the birthday letters, from Mama Elephant, '<a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Block-Party-Letters/p/43293259/category=11373046">Block party'</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped the elephant, then masked him and proceeded to stamp the letters around him.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used my distress markers to watercolour the image, giving the letters an ombre look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card was matted on to some Lawn Fawn decorative paper then onto the card base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Todays card uses the beautiful stamps from <a href="http://waffleflower.com/">Waffle Flower</a> called <a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Lotus/p/52288354/category=10902796">'Lotus'</a>. Simply stamped and embossed using some green lustre powder from cosmic shimmer.</div>

Todays card is for CHRISTMAS!!!! Yeh!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using the completely wonderful <a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Jingle-All-The-Way/p/51984901/category=13602176">'Jingle all the Way </a>' stamp set and <a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Jingle-All-the-Way-Die-namic/p/52400089/category=8451112">dies</a> from<a href="http://mftstamps.com/"> My Favorite Things</a>.</div>

The santa is die cut and stamped using memento ink, and coloured using pro markers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then his suit HAD to be twinkled up using Wink of Stella. I used the Avery elle '<a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Custom-Panels-Elle-ments/p/36073149">Custom Panel die'</a> to create the angled layers of my papers. I used a Stampin Up Christmas paper pad, which is no longer available, for my pattern paper.</div>

In side the card I had to put some more of these great characters from the stamp plate, so I used the <a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/shop.php#!/Pop-Up-Trio-Creative-Cuts/p/50466385">'Pop up Trio creative cuts'</a> from Mama Elephant to create a pop up base for the characters to stand on. Easily done without dies I know, but these make it so quick , easy and neat.</div>

These were also die cut, stamped the coloured with pro markers, they just add that little surprise inside the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment is from Stampin up, 'Endless Wishes' (unfortunatly also unavailable)</div>
