Spring is in the Air

We had a lovely sunny day here in Dorset yesterday and I was able to get out into the garden and do some weeding and tidying up.  I was then inspired to make a spring themed birthday card . I already had the Pink Fresh  foiled and stencilled back panel made ready to use ( when I have my foiling machine out I tend to make a few panels to have in my stash for later use) and I decided to cut it into a square shape.

I mounted it onto my card base and added this die cut flower from Memory Box , then added the pearls and foiled sentiment.

 I am going to add this card to the challenge over at Die Cut Divas "Anything Goes" and The Love Flickr Group Challenge.  

Unfortunately its raining again today , one small taste of Spring and back to the rain!

Have a great week.

Cocktails!!

This is a card I made for my daughters Birthday back in February, she loves a cocktail so I knew this set from Tim Holtz would be perfect for her.

I was lucky enough to get a Spellbinders hot foil machine for my birthday and wanted to use one of  my trial pieces in the design.  This is the Elegant Oval plate and I have used silver foil, it was the perfect background for my cocktails.

I stamped and coloured with Zig markers my cocktails and then fussy cut , I added them to my card using foam tape for some dimension.  The sentiment is also hot foiled and lurking in the back of a drawer I found some really old foiled sentiment sheets that I used when I first started crafting, luckily I had a silver Daughter sticker which matched perfectly, ( so glad I held on to the sticker sheets, I knew they would come in useful again one day!!).

She was thrilled with her card and although not my usual style I had fun making it.

Have a great weekend
