two days running!

Hi everyone

My Posts are a little bit like British buses, nothing for ages, then lots together!

I promised yesterday I'd be back today and this time with an All dressed up card, and a Lili of the valley one too!

This first one is made using time to share image from the fabulous all dressed up!  I actually won this before I became part of their DT, speaking of which come back tomorrow for some exiting news about some freebies in a magazine from the lovely Wendy Burns!



Coloured with my trusty promarkers, I used some digi papers from a polka doodles set for the background, and did some faux stitching all around the edges to make it pop.

The flowers are a Sue Wilson die coloured with distress inks (see below for how I got them speckled) and the leaves are also a Sue Wilson die.
The butterflies are from an old die set - I think Marianne but i can't be sure as the packaging is loooong gone!

To get the speckled look, I used a distress ink pad on a glass mat and spritzed water onto it making it form droplets.  I then leave it for a few moments to start and dry up, then add the white card to the drops.  That gives it the dotty look.

My second card surprisingly isn't coloured with promarkers - instead I had another practice with the distress inks.




The image was coloured using a variety of coloured distress inks, then die cut using a spellbinders die.  The leaves you may recognise from above, but this time the flowers are a small flower punch, coloured with distress inks then shaped using an embossing tool.  The centre is yellow glitter.

The sentiment is a crafters companion one, and the whole thing is layered onto Anne Marie designs spotty card.
