Hi all, what a day it has been so far, I was doing some die cutting/embossing on my Grand Calibur and guess what happened.........it broke, good job I have the X Cut die cutter that I bought many months ago when it was launched, I only used it once but now it will be my main machine, the only machine I have. My back is still hurting but better, thank you for your well wishes. I am also getting a lot of 'mail delivery failures' I leave comments but later I get this notification, I am really at the end of my tether with Google and Blogger I am seriously thinking of either opening a new blog or finishing the set up of my Word Press blog. I am so sorry to be moaning please forgive me, I think I am a little tired, instead I will tell you about my card.
I have used, I believe, one of the most popular Tiddly Inks image of Wryn 'Grow a Pot Of Love'.
I coloured her with Graph it Markers then cut her out using my new Tattered Lace rectangle die, I then laced some pale lilac ribbon through the holes and added a bow, the base card I embossed with my new Hessian Embossing Folder then sanded it down to show a distressed look. The papers are LOTV the image and papers have all been mounted onto pink card stock.
I used my new quilling flower die to create the flowers, I used yellow for the middle then pink. I stamped a sentiment then added lace and some resin roses and heart pearls.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
