Birthday Card

This card was made by sticking some gorgeous pink distressed patterned paper onto a white card blank. The card blank was inked at the edges using Tim Holtz distress ink (Wild Honey) and some lime green ribbon wrapped around the front.

I then made the flower from some other patterned papers using Tim Holtz tattered floral die, held together with a yellow flower brad. The petals of the flower were curved using a bone folder to give it some dimension.

3 pink adhesive crystals finish off the card along with a stamped greeting.

Birthday Card

I made this birthday card for my friend using a yellow card blank adding a square of pink polkadot paper, then a square of white pearlescent card. 

I then stuck down various clear acetate die cuts from a pack which I got as a fab free gift in a magazine!

Gorgeous Paper Flowers

I made these beautiful paper flowers by scrunching up some white paper, stamping Tim Holtz distress inks onto my craft sheet, spritzing the inks with water (until they bead up) and then pressing the scrunched paper onto the pools of ink to soak up.

The paper was then dried using a heat gun and text stamped using black Stayz On ink.

This created lots of different colours of paper by using various combinations of distress inks.

The paper was then dies cut using Tim Holtz tattered floral die and the flowers are held together using little flower brads.

Thank You Card
