Happy Easter & Illuminate Ink

Hello & Happy (Chocolate Day) Easter everyone,

Did the Easter Bunny find your home today?  He found ours and left the girls lots and lots of eggs.  I took a few photos for you.






I also made a card today.  I kept this one pretty simple.  Made this card mainly because I wanted to try out my Illuminate ink over Rich Razzleberry card to see the result.

Here it is.



I stamped the ink with my Papillon Potpourri stamp set.  I think the look is quite subtle, but you can see it quite well, like a silvery shimmer.  I've used some Sycamore Street Dsp from the Sale-a-bration Promotion on this card and some flowers from the Pop Up Posies kit with a Vintage Brad.


The big butterfly from the set really looks lovely in the Illuminate Ink.  I'm glad I tried it out on this colour.  Thanks for popping in. 

Hope you have a fantastic Easter.

    This is nice Carolyn, I have wondered how this link looks and I am thinking the darker the card stock the more illuminate it looks?

    Thanks Michelle, I've just completed a card in Midnight Muse which may turn out to be a class card. I'm really happy with the effect and will be posting onto SC sometime today.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
