Circles!

After all my sewing efforts I have come back to a bit of card making this week.  I made this circular card for the Wednesday Simon Says Challenge "Get in Shape".  I have used an old favorite wooden stamp "Petals of Beauty" from Hero Arts.  It is stamped with Pale Tomato and Red ink and then cut with some circle dies.
Hope you are having a great week.

"Glitter it"

One of the latest trends seems to be adding a little sparkle to your cards, now I love a bit of bling!! and couldn't wait to get my hands on the new "Wink of Stella" pens.  The pen seems very similar to my Sakura Stardust pen but I am thrilled with the added sparkle to my cards.

This card is for the Wednesday challenge over at the Simon Says Blog, I have added lots of sparkle to my card.  

I have used a new Memory Box die called Ringo Tile to make a stencil, I then sponged on different Distress inks over the stencil and then added a "Wink of Stella" to the Distress colours.  Not easy to see in the photographs but it really has a gorgeous sparkle.  Next I cut the sentiment with my Silhouette and added some gems.

The weather has turned cold again here this weekend, we had been rather spoilt over the past couple of weeks and now we are all back to jumpers and coats!!  I hope its a bit warmer where you are.
