A Christmas Mail Box

Today, I am sharing a card I have made for my friend to give to her Mum.

I started by embossing the base card to give a bit of texture, plus

this folder looks a bit like baubles!

After colouring the mail box image with Promarkers and adding Stickles for
some sparkle, I placed the layers together and glued them straight onto the card.

Lastly, I added the sentiment layered on the ovals.

                                                        The products I have used are:-

Apple Blossom die - Snowflake Doily

Lawn Fawn - Stitched Circle Frames

Just Inklined Digi image - Christmas Mail Box

Craftwell A4 Embossing Folder - Regency

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Circles, Ovals and Scalloped Ovals

Promarkers

Male Birthday Card

Hello, today I would like to share with you a birthday card I made for one of my nephews.
 He is keen on DIY, so I thought this Just Inklined image was very appropriate and amusing!
After printing the image, I coloured it with Promarkers, and lastly

added some Glossy Accents to give the water spray a wet look. 

Using the labels die, I pencilled around the outside edge of the die onto 

brown card, carefully cut by hand to give a frame to the image.

I punched three word windows, cut them to different lengths, 

adding a brad to each one for decoration. 

I added a piece of twine, the sentiment is computer generated and cut by hand.

The items I have used are:-
Spellbinders - Labels 15
Darice Embossing folder - Basketweave
Image from - The Best of Just Inklined 2012 CD
Stampin' Up Word Window punch
Promarkers
