Happy Birthday Dad using Lawn Fawn :D

A birthday card for my best friends Dad :D He loves plane spotting, so I thought the Happy Village and Plane & Simple stamp sets from Lawn Fawn would work perfectly for his card :D These two stamp sets are great for making scenes, and there's even a Winter Village set too, so you could easily create a Christmas card along the same lines :D :D For the cloudy sky, I used a homemade cloud stencil, I used a piece of doflex and cut a cloud line with scissors, but you could just as easily die-cut a cloud border die from some acetate and use that too :D :D Hope you liked the card! :D

Ewe are the Best Dadda :D

Greetings Tonic Craft Kit #09 :D

A very artsy mixed media card using this months Tonic Craft Kit, Kit #09 :D This kit has now sold out, but make sure to click on the link below to find out how to secure your copy of the next kit so you don't miss out :D I haven't got the two colours of Nuvo Mousse supplied in this kit, so I was curious to have a play with them, and I originally wanted a watercolour wash background, but in the end plumped for just scraping on a thin layer with my palette knife :D I then used the decorative panel from the gift bag to die-cut a couple of the papers in the kit, and snipped out the flowers, buds and foliage to create my focal element :D I also created a glittery sequin border across the bottom of the card, I simply added some PVA glue, pushed in some sequins, then covered the remaining glue with the glitter :D Again these two colours of sequins and glitter are two I didn't have, and they launched on Hochanda during the Anniversary Celebrations a few weeks back :D Hope you liked what I did with this months kit :D I want to have a go at making the gift bag too, but I'm more of a card maker at heart :D

Positive and Negative Backgrounds with Nuvo Shimmer Powders :D

A pair of cards I made a while back for the launch of the phenomenal Nuvo Shimmer Powders :D I think I included this background technique in my Mica Mist and Shimmer Powder Background video, so you might recognise these from there, but I filmed the whole process for this pair of cards too :D I really love the 'negative' look from this technique, the negative impression if often my favourite version, especially when using the ghosting technique, but when using Shimmer Powders, you might as well create both versions as you'd use the same amount of product either way :D :D Hope you enjoyed the video :D And I hope you're enjoying your Shimmer Powders if you got them on Hochanda, you can also pre-order them from CraftStash too if you missed out :D :D :D
