My Time to Craft #473 - Floral

   A new challenge starts today over at My Time to Craft where the theme

this fortnight is 'Floral'

Sharing my design team card...

The details of the challenge can be found HERE

I started my card by using the cut and emboss folder directly on to

the front of the card base. Next, I glued a piece of pink card to the 
inside. I then chalked the embossed floral areas with the pearlescent chalks
and added the die-cut sentiment.

The products I have used are:

Paper Rose - Happy Birthday

70th Birthday Card

Today, I am sharing a 70th birthday card I made recently for a friend.
These Cut and Emboss folders from Hobbycraft cut and emboss beautifully.
 I was lucky enough to buy three of them in their Christmas sale.

I raised the embossed panel with 3D foam to lift it from the sentiment.
Although you can't see it very well in the photo, I used chalks to
highlight the embossing.

A Female CAS Birthday Card

Today, I am sharing a very quick to make CAS birthday card.

I saw the idea for the coloured sentiment, last week HERE on Pam's Crafts blog, so I

thought I would give it a try and used Promarkers to colour my card.

I then used pastel chalks to highlight the embossed frame,

added diamantes to the flowers and that was it!

Do pop over to Pam's blog, and take a look at the beautiful cards she makes,
using lots of different and gorgeous dies.
