March Card Swap

Our card swap theme for March was Girl birthday using punch art.

I found the inspiration for this card on Pinterest, many thanks to Studio Evans for the fabulous graphics on how to make the ballerina.

I used three different punches; The sweetheart punch for the bodice and tutu, The pansy punch for the tulle underskirt and the elegant butterfly punch for the ballet shoes, don't they look exactly like ballet shoes, what a genius idea.

For the inside I used the same DSP (Designer Series Paper) as the front.

This is the beautiful card I received from Sam Bretherick. It is absolutely gorgeous and I love it so much I may have to case it.

The theme for April is Football - gulp!

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Card Swap October

A very Happy New Year to you all. I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas, let's hope that 2017 is a great year for us all.

I'm a little bit behind showing you the Card Swap cards.  The Theme for October was Fluffy, frilly and pink. A difficult card for me as I've never been a fluffy, frilly or pink girl!

Anyway here's my attempt

I watched a You Tube Tutorial by Jennifer McGuire, she used different coloured strips of cardstock to make a card base, I just love the effect and the possibilities are endless.

The card I received from Karen Kilner is here and is absolutely beautiful. I love how she has heat embossed the leaves and heart with clear embossing powder it look stunning in real life although very difficult to photograph.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.
