Vintage Iris

 Morning first of all welcome to my new follower CINDY 

 I have a slimline card today using Vintage Iris from Woodware.

First of all I heat embossed the image in white on a water coloured background -I then stamped the image on a pre-made background in my backgrounds box-made quite a while ago so no idea what was used but there was some texture on their looked like Pebeo Copper Prisma had been dripped on-I then cut out the iris, circle and paper pieced.

The strip of numbers were cut from the inside of a kitchen roll and added two strips of washi tape---yes finally bought some lol.

I then added tape and partially stamped image to the envelope-too late for the challenge intended!

Envelope Card and Chocolate Baroque

 Morning and welcome to my new follower KATHY  

Would also like to thank another blogging friend CAROL  for sending a beautiful thinking of you all card from NZ.

 Not made a criss cross/envelope card for quite a while so decided to make one for the challenge at Butterfly Spot-using an envelope card(two versions to choose from) add a butterfly and use light green/soft pink and pale cream think I covered everything.

The B.paper is K&C from the Dawn Bibby era at QVC many years ago,ribbon from stash,the Magnolia and Butterfly are both stampsfrom Chococlate Baroque.

The butterfly was stamped onto P.paper (twice and layered)from The Works-the Magnolia was watercoloured with Art By Marlene watercolours and cut with a Spellbinders frame.

Birthday Cake and New Stencil

 Late today but the card I am sharing was made trying out my new stencil from MFT-thank you Lisa.

I used Distress inks through the stencil,then offset the stencil with more colour-the pre-coloured birthday cake was cut from an Art By Marlene paper pad and the stamped sentiment was a craft mag freebie.

The clear dewdrop was added after I found a small black ink mark from goodness knows where???

Sparkling Butterfly

 Morning and here we are October already!!!

I have two DT posts today and the second one is for the Add Sparkle challenge at Craft Rocket.

Now if you remember the candle box card I made-well I bought a journal and it came in  a see through sturdy box so I decorated it to give the card in as a gift this week.

I found the strip of paper in my oddments drawer (well one of them lol) and I heat embossed in silver the Butterfly from Chocolate Baroque.

NOW I must have took about 20 pics off this in different rooms,in a box and using my daylight lamp in the end I gave up and used the best two---the reason is the P.paper is a delicate shade of green and nowhere near the colour shown???

oops tragedy averted there instead of uploading pic pressed delete good job it was still in basket!!!
