Edges were inked using Tim Holtz distress ink in wild honey. Cut out and decoupaged the bumble bee image to finish and stuck on with silicone glue to give some height.

Mothers Day Cards

Both of these cards were made by stamping and embossing different sized flowers onto white card using perfect medium ink and clear embossing powder.
I then used a flower die to cut out the 3 layered sizes. I used perfect pearls ink sprays to soak the images with colour. It is resisted by the embossing and gives a lovely pearlescent finish.
I cut out leaf shapes and sprayed them with green pearl ink.
The flowers were put together using a brad then attached to the card which was wrapped in coordinating coloured ribbon.
Greeting and adhesive pearls were added to finish.





Owl Birthday Card

I had a gorgeous owl rubber stamp that I was dying to use.
This is a very simple card made by stamping the owl onto different papers. Then paper pieced onto Kraft card and die cut into a circle. Background was a die cut scalloped circle which I then cut in half. Greeting was stamped directly onto the card. A pretty green polka dot ribbon behind the owl finished it off nicely.
