Wishing You... Cake & Chocolate!

I've recently spent some time on holiday on the great Murray River forced to sit down and do nothing. As I couldn't take my Copics away with me, I was able to put my new collection of Distress Markers into my bag to have a play with. This is one of the images I was able to quietly colour up for Challenge #19 is starting over at Scrapbooker PhD Challenge Blog. Challenge #19 is to create a 'Masculine Birthday card using a Die'. Here is my DT inspiration for you.

My favourite embellishment is dies. I love how versatile they are, how you can get them in pretty much any design and can modify them to make them fit your image. For example the above card used this die which I modified to look like a spell had been cast.

Wedding Glasses

Happy New Year to everyone! The first challenge for 2015 starting over at Outlawz Saturday Paper Ala Mode challenge is getting back to the heart of using paper and the new challenge theme is to 'Make Your Own Background Paper'. It is sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps so please pop over and join in the fun. This is the first time that I've used my new Distress Markers too, so its a new technique for me.
Bugaboo Stamps Wedding Glasses

Card ingredients include:

Stamps: Bugaboo Stamps 'Wedding Glasses', unknown background stamp (from stash), Kaszazz 'Conragtulations' sentiment.
Distress Markers: Antique Linen, Brushed Corduroy, Aged Mahogany, Weathered Wood.
Papers:  Gold foil card, ivory cardstock.
Dies: Cheery Lyn Designs Lace Corner Deco.
Other: Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Tarnished Bronze Distress Stain, gold glitter washi tape, sheer ribbon, gold embossing powder, Flamingo & Platinum Pearl Liquid Pearls.

For the making of my background paper, I used the Tarnished Bronze Distress Stain on the stamp (unknown origin of stamp pulled from my stash, sorry). It's a pity that you can't see the lovely shine of the stain in the photo either as it really adds to the golden effect. I then edged it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink prior to distressing the edges with a distressing tool. Because the stamp is only square in size I had to stamp it twice and line it up before adding the sheer ribbon & gold glitter washi tape to hide the join.
