Hello! I took some time out to make cards today, after realising I only made 46 cards the entire of last year. That's not even one per week!
Card one: this is pretty much white, black and real red card stock. I embossed white card stock (covering one side of the embossing folder in black ink) for the patterned/raised paper in the background. The tree was a stamp I bought in USA on my recent trip there. I got the idea for this from a youtube video but I cant find it to share the link. This is one of my two favourite cards of the day because it's 'Heather' colours.
Card two: This is such a cute card in person, this just doesnt do it justice! It is very vanilla card stock and crumb cake inkpad. The embossing across the top is a little embossing card I got in USA. It created a little dent in the card so I hid it with ribbon lol. The stamp was stamped once, moved slightly left (without re-inking) and stamped then moved right (again, no re-inking). I also dusted it around the edge using the same ink and a bit of sponge. So first up is a photograph, below it was my attempt to put it in the scanner-yuck!
2011: I just realised that this card is actually from last year, I made it between Christmas and new years! I dont really like it, but that's ok, I just give those cards to Bianca to use up lol.
Card four: Ok this card was really annoying me. I tried three times to get it straight and still havent succeeded, so the front will be ripped off and re-aligned tomorrow lol. I'm not sure if you can see but there are actually flowers on the yellow too.
2011: This was a 21st card for my friend Gita. I havent actually given it to her yet though (naughty me). I used pretty paper that she gave me for HER birthday!
