Hi – today I have a card using the gorgeous Look Up set from Avery Elle.  I stamped the sentiment and a couple of clouds onto some Tim Holtz water colour paper and then heat embossed them in white.  I then played with some distress inks (Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade) by dabbing them onto an acrylic block so the whole thing was covered in ink and then heavily spritzed with water.  I turned the block over and pressed down and let it sit for a few seconds.  When you remove the block you are left with a gorgeous mix of colour – and no two are ever the same!  I LOVE this technique!

The panel was simply mounted onto a white A2 card base – the colour is so vibrant – I love it!!

Thanks for dropping by xxx

Hello there – today I have a first!  I’ve made a Thanksgiving card!  Obviously Thanksgiving is an American and Canadian tradition so we have little call for these cards over here but I was so drawn to this image in the Seasonal Sentiments set from Avery Elle.  I kept the card simple by embossing it in Gold Tinsel (Ranger) embossing powder on a white panel cut using Finished Frames.  I added a a little bit of gold shimmery twine and mounted it to a small 4 bar size card.  Love this cute little size for a change from A2.

Hope you all have a good week – I’m in London today meeting some wonderful crafty friends – I’ll share some pics soon!
