Negative Die Cuts

A bit late in the week but here I am to share the card I made for our latest challenge at A Passion For Papertrey.  It’s all about using negative spaces on your creations this time so here is my take on the challenge.

{Happy Birthday}

The kids are all out enjoying the latest dump of snow so I’m taking the opportunity to grab a minute to myself and maybe ink up some stamps – probably won’t last more than 10 minutes!!

Hope you’re enjoying your weekend.

Happily Ever After

I’m here with a simple little wedding card made with the new Happily Ever After stamp set from Clearly Besotted.  This set has a great little cake that you can decorate with lots of little elements from within the set – sweet  or what?  

{Happily Ever After}
I have the MOST exciting weekend ahead of me – I am going to see my all-time heroine (and namesake of my first born girl-baby) Olivia Newton-John!!!  I know – AWESOME is not the word.  Also, me and my twin sis are going to be tearing up the streets of Manchester for a girlie weekend – can’t wait!
This is how I SOOO wanted to look when I was young!!
Hugs,

CASE Study challenge – couldn’t resist!

When I saw that Julie Ebersol was the latest muse over at Case Study challenge blog I just had to play along.  Julie is just so inspiring and is one of my favourite places to visit right now!  If you’ve ever watched one of her video’s you’ll know what I mean when I say her chuckle is infectious!!

Anyhoo, here is my take on her card.  I used the With Love set from Clearly Besotted and coloured the card in with ProMarkers after embossing the outline image in white.  The sentiment is from one of the latest sets to be released – Many Thanks (LOVE this set!!). I love the effect of colouring on a Kraft base – the colours just pop!

{Thankful}

Here is the original card – I didn’t mess too much with the design and my card isn’t a patch on Julie’s!

This was the first time I’ve ever joined in with this challenge (I always mean to but there are just never enough hours in the day!!).  It was great fun so I hope I find the time again!!
Thanks for stopping by,
