Almost time to give thanks.

Now that Autumn is in full swing, Thanksgiving is well and truly on its way.  This is the first Thanksgiving card I have ever made, and I hope the client likes it.  My brief was for a modern floral card in traditional Autumnal colours, and I feel I have accomplished that with my creation.

 
Ingredients
Clear Vase of Delight Digi from Ladybug Crafts Ink
Thanksgiving paper from Samantha Walker
Coloured with Promarkers
Copper pearlescent paper from stash
Card Candi.

An apple a day...

Keeps the craft bug at play. And today I have used the new Farmers Market Digi Kit from Sarah Hurley to make this card.  It is full of delicious autumnal goodies, from leaves to acorns and great sentiments and papers too.
 
I chose to create a scene using two of the different papers, then popped some apple trees and apples on it.  I printed it out, then 3d foamed another wee apple tree for some dimension. I used Glossy  Accents to make some of the apples shiny and I love the effect :D  I made the sentiment using banners from the kit and the sentiment also comes in the kit.

 
Ingredients
Glossy Accents
Kraft card blank
1mm foam squares

I hope you like this and that you have a look at some of Sarahs other items that are available n her Etsy shop.

New DT announcement

And it's the weekend, happy happy happy!!

I am delighted to announce I am joining the very talented ladies on the Just Some Lines Design Team.  They have an amazing range of digi stamps in their store, and I will have lots of fun making creations with them.

The first challenge I am taking part in is "Use more than one colouring medium". I scratched my head for a while with this one, then realised I could use Promarkers and Distress Inks, result.  I used Paula Stands for my card and used autumnal colours now that the leaves are starting to turn.


Ingredients
Digi Paper
Coloured with Promarkers, Kuretake Art & Graphic and Sakura Glitter pens,
Distress inks in Broken China and Evergreen Bough
Ticket from Whimsy Stamps
