Arty Girlz Background Challenge

I've put this card together for this weeks Arty Girlz Challenge - Handmade Backgrounds

I've used Perfect Pearls in Interference Violet with one of Funky Fairy's Pinkie Pops clear stamp for both of the layers, for the base layer I stamped several swirls with Perfect Medium and dusted with Interference Violet, for the strip layer I covered it with Perfect Medium and dusted all over, inked the stamp with perfect medium and stamped the first of the four swirls, when the stamp was removed it lifted the perfect pearl, I cleaned the stamp completely and repeated the process again until the strip was covered.

The same technique was used for the message on the tag, which reads, to brighten up your birthday, which is again from the Pinkie Pops stamp set. The tag and topper are from the pointed tag die-cut stencil set by x-cut Impress

Split Coast Stampers

I found this double pocket card at SCS in the Try a New Technique so I had a quick go and it is so easy, a great way to give cash or vouchers in an attractive way.

For the book mark I've used chocolate and beige vivelle(self adhesive fluffy stuff) and the new release X-Cut Impress Teddy and Border die cut stencil.

This card is for the Papertake Weekly Challenge: All that glitters.

I've gone a little bit Impress mad on this one and used just glitter card, a couple of Papermania Dome Butterfly stickers and gems to complete the look.

My Time To Craft Challenge #9

Well this is my first attempt at a card for My Time To Craft. I covered the front of the card blank with Anna Griffin scrapbook paper. The main motif is an X-Cut Impress Perforating Stencil stitched in silver thread, layered on white and silver mirror card and I've also added two strips of co-ordinating ribbon to add more texture.

Leonie's Fab Friday Challenge #5

Excellent Challenge this week from Leonie. I've gone for more of a magician's theme. The top hat and wand are made from black shrink plastic, as I ran a craft evening last week for a local Brownie pack and they all thought their shrink plastic butterfly keyrings where 'magic' when they went all small and curly. The playing cards are from a pack that came out of a christmas cracker and the letters have been die cut using the X-Cut Impress Italic font, on self adhesive clear glitter vinyl. I must improve my skills with the camera as I haven't really captured the glitter sparkle and the shimmer of the pearl card properly.
