Thankyou

I was asked if I could make some thankyou cards
for a friend to give out after her daughter's
birthday party....these are what I came up with....
she wanted something to tie in with a princess theme party....
the crowns where cut using my cricut and the cart happily
ever after...it was cut at 2"...I then added a pearl
stick on and some 3d paint which I sprinkled with
glamour dust...the cards where 3" square...the background paper
I bought from hobbycraft and is by teresa collins...the ribbon
is from my stash....thanks for looking and feel free to
leave a comment....

Tags...

I made these tags to sell....the basic shape is a sizzix die
and was cut out using my sizzix express...this is a marvelous piece of kit
especially for me having slight dexterity probs...
press a button and way you go lol...
anyway I used a brown slightly mottled card stock
as I was going for the vintage look....as this worked better with the stamp I think...
sorry but cant tell you who the stamp is by as it fell off the wooden block
and this got thrown away...I stamped the image in black stazon...the edged
where sponged with time holts walnut stain...and stickles  where applied over
the image...the ribbon is sheer and was purchased from
hobby craft for 99p what a bargain...hope you like the tags
and feel free to leave a comment....thanks

More atc's

Another post with atc....getting quite into these now....
will have to buy some blanks as I've been cutting
them myself and it's quite difficult to get them all the same
corosponding size....
the stamp set is a small that is made especially for making
atc's.....it was stamped onto the card with memento ink.....I then
sponged on various shades of tim holts distressing ink...tumbled glass...
scattered straw....peeled paint.....dusty concord...the pearl is from
my stash....thanks for looking and feel free to leave a comment.....

ATC

This is my fist time making atc's....told
my friend I would never make them because
they are too fiddly....they are brilliant to make...
can try out different techniques
the stamp set I used is from woodware...
the background was stamped
with the stamp set ...the stamp set was cut out and coloured
in with copics....and background was sponged with
tim holts distressing ink straw.....
this atc was made the same way as the one above....
thanks for looking and feel free to leave a comment...
