Penny Black, J’aime Paris Engagement card :-)

Hi all .. are you having a fab weekend ?? Did you go to the NEC ?? If so I am sooo envious ,,,,, and hope you got yourselves some fab goodies :-)

I made this card for my Niece and her BF who have just got engaged :-) I know they have received it so I can show it to you now :-)

I used a fab Penny Black J’aime Paris clear stamp set.

I coloured with Copics and used a Hero Arts swirl to make the design along the edge . Unfortunately I got a dirty inky finger mark right in the middle of the card and almost binned but then rescued by some well positioned hearts :-) Happy mistake !!

Thanks for looking , I really appreciate your comments so please leave me one :-)

Pink !!! ,,, oohh err !!

I am trying to join in with Mandi and Chrissie’s Less is More Challenge whenever I can and this week the challenge is ‘Pink’ ,,, not an easy one for me as pink is definitely not on my list of fave colours ,,,, Amy put paid to that when she was young and wanted to wear it all the time , put me right off :-)

I used a Memory Box Cherish border die cut as a mask and swirled some Victorian Velvet Distress Inks over it then sprayed with Studio Calico Shine. The butterfly is also a Memory Box die cut, glittered with Crystal Glitter :-) I added a strip of washi tape and some Star Dust Stickles to make it even more sparkly. 

Thanks for looking :-)

We have a new theme over on the Papertake Weekly Challenge ,,,

I decided to make hubby’s card ,,,, shhh :-) 

I used this very cute Teddy Giving image from the Wild Rose Studio ,, isn’t it CUTE :-) 

I will link products at the bottom of this post, I coloured with Copics then added some prismacolor pencils too, I love the  added depth of colourthis gives, and should use them more often ,,,,

I kept the card fairly simple as hubby really doesn’t like my fussy ones ,, I have to agree with him actually, I do tend to be moving away from fussy and am preferring the more CAS style.
