365 Cards - Day 14 - DIY Flower


I followed the blog instructions on making a ribbon flower, twice. The first time I did running stitch on the selvedge edges (it's so wide it needed doubling over) and it was very stiff, so I unpicked it and did it down the centre line instead. It's a bit 'high' dimensionally but looks ok I think. The ribbon is blue/pink warp/weft so the colour changes with the light.
Mounted on sugar paper, with CraftWork Cards Card Candy (Truffles) fake brads, and the sentiment in black ink with silver embossing on top to tone it down a bit in line with the Card Candy.

365 Cards - Day 13 - Primary Birthday


This catchup challenge was to use only primary colours for a birthday card.
Using the sugar paper pack & Fiskars Bubbles Energy Texture Plate (I think I'm going to get one of their embossing gadgets, it takes ages using an oldfashioned embossing tool) & Fiskars Letters 4 (a scalpel not their cutting tool as it really doesn't like this sugar paper) I made this 5"x5" card. I think it does what it says on the tin!
