This time, the challenge at Crafty Cardmakers is to make something inspired by Easter.
For this, I've made the first of this year's Easter cards.
I started by making a border using a set of Sue Wilson Gemini dies, although I used both edges rather than just one! Then, I tried out a new (to me) die. It's another Susan Tierney die, but this time, produced by Elizabeth Craft. it's designed to be flatter than the Sizzix range, and that's definitely something I'd welcome. For the image and greeting, I've combined a cropped image from Joanna Sheen's Pamela West CDRom with a greeting. the embossed background was done using an Embossalicious folder.
I hope you can join us this time.

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge 159
This time, on Crafty Cardmakers, we want you to go green. So, anything you like, so long as it's green.
I chose to make a birthday card for my younger son who's a bit of a linguist.
I chose to make a birthday card for my younger son who's a bit of a linguist.
I started in Photoshop Elements, and, having translated Happy Birthday into a number of European languages, I then arranged the text. I added a little background texture, again in Photoshop Elements, and printed the result. Then, I used a map stamp I've had for ages, and using Distress Ink in Old Paper, I stamped over the image. I cut some card using dies from Presscut and Tonic to frame the result, and finished with an English Language greeting.
I hope you can join us this time.
