Summer ......

An ATC & sleeve made for a themed swap over at Crafty Individuals Facebook Group in the theme of Summer .....

The base was cut to 2.5 x 3.5 inches from re-cycled food packaging. I then chose a Crafty Individuals stamp and stamped this onto white card in Versafine black ink which was heat embossed with clear embossing powder. This was then coloured with watercolour washes and various pens as shown. This was then applied to the base and edged with metallic gold pen. I also stamped again and trimmed out the two flowers to decorate the sleeve with. I added Glossy accents to the yellow flowers. The sentiment was stamped and embossed in a similar manner before trimming out ans mounting on black card before applying on foam pads. to the ATC.

The sleeve was die-cut from Kraft card (Sizzix/Tim Holtz), assembled and decorated with the two extra flowers to finish..... hope the recipient likes it !!

Magic ......

Made a Decorated Tag for a swap over in UK Stampers Forum ......

I started by cutting some 400gsm white card to size as the background and covered this with some printed paper. Next I found some unused stamps by Lindsay Mason and stamped the fairy on a toadstool silhouette in Versafine black ink which was then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I then stamped some butterflies in Versafine Clair lavender ink as shown and added Stickles glitter glue for some shine. The sentiment was stamped in more Versafine black ink, trimmed and edged with black and applied as shown. I then embellished the tag with some 3D glittered floral stickers.

The tag was then edged with mauve Versamagic chalk ink. I then used a crop-a-dile to add a silver eyelet to the top of the tag and threaded this with black satin ribbon to compliment the fairy image to finish ......
