G is for Girlfriend

Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Alphabet Challenges. Billie A has chosen G is for Girlfriend. To see the inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a plain white card for my base. I covered the card with a purple 6" sq. I then used a Diamond embossing folder on a piece of purple card and on white card. Measured and cut them to fit the piece of silver Mirri card, then added with 3D foam pads to the main purple card. A thin strip of silver Mirri card to seperate the two pieces. The stamp of the girls and the two sentiment stamps, by Stamps By Me -  Toni Darroch are from a Creative Stamping magazine #161. The sentiments were heat embossed with silver Wow! EP. The girls were coloured with Promarkers, then fussy cut leaving a small white edge. Have fun. 
 

Wedding/Wedding Anniversary

 Hello, welcome to my blog. Toay we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. It's my turn to choose the challenge at it being July, I think of weddings, so it will be #254 Weddings or Wedding Anniversary. To see the inspiration created by the design team, please visit the blog. 

My base card is a white 5" x 7" scallop edge card. I added a piece of card which had been painted and then distressed with white paint, then distressed further. Amongst my box of die cuts, old, new, borrowed or swapped with craft friends, I found the white frame, maybe the wrong seson, but it suited my need for the edges. I then fussy cut the couple, the heart sentiment and the two glasses of champagne., from a Hunkydory set of wedding paraphenalia called Love is All you Need. I added a strip of flowers and pearls in opposite corners. Overall it's in more of a retro or vintage style, but I've got to use my stuff up sometime. (smiles)
