Fireworks!

Good morning!

I took Keiran to a firework display last night....he didn't like it. I haven't taken him for a couple of years as he has never liked them, but I asked him and he wanted to go. Looks like it'll be another couple of years before I try again!

Anyway, over at Less Is More this week, there is a theme that makes you think of fireworks.

DARK BACKGROUND WITH A SPLASH OF COLOUR(S)

So here is my firework inspired card...

I have used the sentiment from Feeling Sentimental and the little snowflake from Warmth & Wonder. The glitter I have used is from my many little pots of glitter I have lying around...tonnes of it! I set it on the card using Heat and Stick Powder...it's brilliant! That glitter is going nowhere!

I hope to get a bit of crafting done this afternoon while Keiran is at a birthday party, so I shall be back with something tomorrow.

Have a great Saturday and if you're going to a bonfire or firework display, stay safe!

Hello!

I have a card here that I have made based on an idea I saw a few weeks ago here, so I cased it!

I have used the incredible FREE Sale-A-Bration set Feeling Sentimental and I stamped it in Marina Mist, Cajun Craze and Lucky Limeade ink. I then mounted them onto a strip of Soft Suede card.

I used the Square Lattice embossing folder on the Marina Mist card for texture and finished with the sentiment stamped in Soft Suede. This card ended up with more layers than I had intended it to because as I stuck it together I realised the fold was on the wrong side! Doh! Schoolgirl error! 

Products used

Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Marina Mist, Soft Suede

Stamps - Feeling Sentimental (SAB)

Ink (markers) - Lucky Limeade, Soft Suede, Marina Mist, Cajun Craze

Other - Square Lattice embossing folder

Sale-A-Bration sneak peek #4 & Less Is More

Good morning you lovely LIMettes! 

All ready for Christmas? 

I thought I was, but still got some bits to finish, including the annual 'Keiran calendar'...oh well looks like I'm going to be busy Christmas Eve!

So this morning over at Less Is More, Chrissie and Jen have set us the challenge of 

DRINKS

Now other than having had a few of them with the PTA last night, I don't really have much in the way of crafty stuff to use for that theme. Then I wondered if a colour would do?

So this is my drink related card...

I have used another stamp from the Feeling Sentimental stamp set from Sale-A-Bration, and stamped it in Early Espresso! Hope I can get away with that ladies! 

I also matted it onto Early Espresso card and used Early Espresso baker's twine.

Close up...

I've used a lot of Early Espresso here...well it's early and I need an Espresso before work to wake me up after last night!

Bye for now!

Supplies used:

Card - Very Vanilla, Early Espresso

Stamp - Feeling Sentimental

Baker's Twine - Early Espresso

Embellishments - Antique Brads
