Fun with fonts!


Our latest challenge over at A Passion for Papertrey is aptly named “Fontabulous”!  What we want to see this time is a creation with more than one font!  Either combine sentiments from different sets (or from within one set as I did here with Mega Mixed Messages) or use one of PTI’s many stamps that feature a combination of fonts.

 
{Welcome Baby}
Stamps: Mega Mixed Messages, Round and Round.
Ink: Sweet Blush, Raspberry Fizz
Card: Stampers Select White, Raspberry Fizz, RF patterned paper pack.
Others: Sweet Blush twill ribbon, raspberry fizz button, Spellbinders heart nestibilities.

Well, we’re still enjoying a great little break for half term up at Centerparcs in the Lakes.  Its been sooo chilly (even had snow today) but it’s been fabulous as always.  Don’t really want to go home tomorrow but we have to back to school/work sometime I suppose!!

Thanks for stopping by.

Glitter again!!

Hiya – just a quick post to share a card I made using these gorgeous stamps and dies from Clearly Besotted : Butterfly Wishes and Leafy Accents .  Whilst participating in the Clean and Simple Cardmaking classes I came to discover an old love – glitter!  I say it’s an old love – I have always loved sparkly stuff – but the fly-away-get-stuck-in-your-eyelashes-and-every-where-else-you-can-mention glitter is not something I reach for that often!  With the butterflies on this card I die cut and stamped them then swiped the die cuts in Versamark.  I then coated them in Sticky Stuff embossing powder and finally covered them in Denami crystal glitter.  I wanted a more encapsulated look though so covered them completely in a thick layer of Glossy Accents – that glitter’s goin’ nowhere baby!!

Glitter Me Silly!!!

Happy Weekend – yay!
Just here to share a card inspired from Day 9 of Online Classes C and S 2.  The theme is texture and the cards that really got my juices flowing were the ones doused in glitter!!  I am a HUGE fan of glitter and sparkly stuff so that was the way I went with my card.

{Happy Birthday}
Stamps: Blooming Marvellous, Once Upon a Time (Clearly Besotted)
Ink: Raspberry Fizz, Spring Moss (PTI), Versamark.
Card: Stampers select white, Vintage Cream, Lavender Moon (PTI)
Tools: Blooming Marvellous die collection, Cuttlebug embossing folder

The gorgeous rose is from Blooming Marvellous by Clearly Besotted (die soon available – yay!) and after stamping in Raspberry Fizz and Spring Moss ink (PTI) I swept them with Versamark.  I dug out a pot of Sticky Stuff embossing powder I haven’t used in years (my new favourite thing) and then drenched them in glitter!  It’s so much more sparkly IRL!

Have a great Friday night.

Hugs,
Caryn xxx
