Peace - How still we see thee lie card

A Little Town of Bethlehem Peace

Hi All

I created this card for craft day at the Papermill Direct shop in Kendal and I was really pleased with how it turned out.

Embossed in black on beautiful pearlescent card from Papermill Direct, and coloured with pixie powders from creative expressions, they are lovely to work with an create a great shimmer the to card.  Created with a mixture of Jane Gill's sparkly trees stamp and Francoise Read's Peace stamp from Woodware at Creative Expressions.

See the sheen on those pixie powders.

And it all stands up.

First and second generation stamping with the sparkly trees make a good backdrop to the golden tones of the little town of Bethlehem

Turn to the left and see the 3D effect

I hope you like it, I do.

My latest class cards

My latest class

Hi All
Here are the class cards from Saturday 14th October's class, using Distress Oxides and Woodware stamps for the baubles, each piece is unique and this got quite messy to do, but the oxides create some lovely colours, very different from Distress Inks.

Woodware Baubles and Distress Oxides

Beautiful Polar Bear Stamp with Pixie Powder Background

The Polar Bear, is one of my favourites of this year's Woodware Christmas stamps, coloured using Copic pens with a creative expression embossing folder, this time using Pixie Powders in the background, these give a beautiful sheen to the background rather like the I imagine northern lights to be. Using the extra pixie powder card behind the sentiment to pull it all together.

 I hope you like them.

Best wishes

Lesley

Halloween Birthday Cards

Birthday Cards

Hi All

This is Emma's Birthday card I had two distinct ideas and I could not decide which to do, so .... This is a beautiful Daisy Mae Stamp Design Stamp from Clare Rowlands, on the outside.

But as Emma studied Forensic Science and Anthropology at Uni, and her Birthday is so close to Halloween - I could not leave it there - so ........ scroll down for the inside, its a bit of a contrast with the outside, so Zoe said "put it in the middle" so I did.

An Autumn Birthday Card for Emma 

This is Sheena Douglass's skeleton die and stamp set from Day of the Dead,
with Chloe's sentiment and the Dutch Doobadoo cobweb stencil in the background.

This card was the third card on my last class, using Pixie Powders to paint the flowers.

That’s all for now folks - take care and see you soon.

Have fun,
