I can’t wait to see the huge variety of designs you talented peeps are going to create this week when ANYTHING GOES!

For my card this week I pulled out this fantastic set from Casual Fridays – Rad.  It’s a fun graphic set I think is particularly suited to cards for those teens in your life!

I created a rainbow of colour using Hero Arts Shadow inks and reflected that in the sentiment using Copics.

And as always, the AMAZINGLY generous peeps at Simon Says Stamp always love to reward your efforts with an awesome $50 gift voucher for one one lucky, randomly drawn participant!  Yay!!

Faux-marquetry with Taylored Expressions.

29.07.2014 by 1 Comment

Hi there.  I’m over on the Taylored Expressions blog again today featuring a card I made that showcases how amazing the Taylored Expressions steel dies are.  I used the gorgeous Ray Of Sunshine cutting plate and the Tiptoe Through the Tulips dies with some wood veneer sheets.  I used two different shades for a lovely, marquetry-style effect.  I do love how this came together in the end, if I do say so myself (modest much???)

Thanks 1

For all the details on how I made this card please check out the Taylored Expressions Blog.

Thanks for stopping by.

I had the great pleasure of playing with the Mini Perfect Layers rulers and I must say – I LOVE them!  They are a handy size for card makers to.  I used them to create my mats for may card below.

Have you tried the new Avery Elle paper pads too?  I used them to paper piece my camera from #Smile – they are such a delight to use and co-ordinate with the ink and card colours too – RESULT!!!
