Springing Into Autumn

Well Autumn is officially here for sure, daylight savings has ended, the nights are colder and I am having to wear socks in the morning.  However when I was digging through my Spiegel Mom Scraps stash that Spring feeling certainly hit when I spotted these gorgeous sunny day sequins and spring veneer.

I sprayed the normandy doily with yellow and green spray inks and put aside to dry.  In the mean time I sprayed sparingly my card base with the same sprays plus I added a little of my favourite gold spray, I also added some strips of washi. I then gave the doily a blast with the heat gun to make sure it was dry and then attached it to the card, added my veneer and I stuck down my sequins.

I decided to add the cork chevrons at the top so  I glued them in place and I am calling it done.

I think this turned out really cute and I love the sparkle the sequins add.

Lacy Sunshine Shabby Chic Birthday

This fortnight the challenge at LACY SUNSHINE CHALLENGE is steam punk or shabby chic.  I decided to go with Shabby Chic as it is closer to my normal style than steam punk which just scares the daylights out of me ;)

I have used Elanor's Heart Balloons image which I printed on Gina K luxury cardstock and coloured my image with copic markers,

I added some Stampedous Shabby Pink embossing powder around the edges of the image and also to the background papers.  I used some heidi swapp sprays liberally but not spraying them just flicking the end of the sprayer to make droplets.

I have also used a doily and Fairytale Sequin Mix from SpiegelMom Scrap Shop (Remeber to use the code Louise10 for a discount) 

I sprayed the doily with the sprays, this time actually spraying, to make it gorgeous and shabby looking then I cut it in half so I could use it in two places on the card.

I then added some flowers from Wild Orchid and used the gold spray to paint the edges.

Thanks so much for joining me today :)

Be Amazing with SpiegelMom Scraps

I had a whole lot of fun creating today's card, using fun products from SpiegelMom and Close To My Heart Stamps ( For more information on CLOSE TO MY HEART contact HEATHER)  .

I am totally loving sequins right now, so versatile and soooooo cute!

I cut the circles on my card using a circle cutter and mounted the white circle with foam tape after adding the transparent circle and filling with sequins.

Forever & Always with Spiegel Mom Scraps

I have had a lot going on over the last few weeks so it was nice to get a card made again :)  I started with a white cardstock base which I watercoloured using Metallic Melon Gelato and a water brush.  One the gelato was dry I sprayed with some dye inks in pink, white and gold.  

I then coloured my veneer using the melon gelato and gold dye ink plus a brush.  I stamped the arrows along the bottom using Flight of the arrows from Close to my Heart in pink dye ink. 

The always and forever was originally one piece but I cut it to fit on the A5 card.  

I sprinkled the Raspberry Dream Sequins on the card then adhered them where they had fallen.

I matted the card front onto raspberry cardstock then to the plain cardstock base to finish.

Thanks loads for joining me today and if you click on the photos below you will be taken directly to Jody's etsy shop.
