Shrink Plastic Cogs Birthday Card

After buying some shinky dink for my granddaughter Katie, I was inspired to search out my shrink plastic and create again. I used Tim Holtz Cogs and embossed with gold embossing powder, the card is made with Tim Holtz stamps and the background coloured with distress inks, the gold corner is some mesh I found searching for the shrink plastic, ideal birthday card for Murray's brother Howard.

Just One June

Every month I send a card through Just One (Technique Junkies) to another member participating. This technique is Distress Stain Dip (Oct/Nov 2012). I used my diffusers on the corners and added the die cut ovals, the sentiment is embossed and cut out carefully. I glued old music sheets to a piece of cardstock and used my Tattered Poinsettia die by Tim Holtz to cut out the flower and used distress inks to colour, the edges have gold leafing pen added. Really pleased with the finished result and it is winging it's way to Canada today.

May Vintage Fat Book Page

I found this month's theme a little challenging but with a little help from google images I gained my inspiration, love the image of the contortionist and made it vintage by colouring by giving it sepia tones, the back speaks for itself.

Bereavement Card

I wanted a simple but classic card to give as a Bereavement Card, the rose came to mind and I folded it with 3" in front and 4" at back, embossed spare areas and die cut lace and threaded gold ribbon through. Mounted gold embossed rose and glued to top, put sentiment down side.

Never ending card

This card was a little fiddly to make but the hardest part was the decorating. The paper I chose was two sided so that was easy, it was making it look good for little Miss 10 year old.

Mixed Media Book

Struggled a bit with this book, especially as I was making it for friend's daughter on request, but finally finished and hopefully it is just what she wanted.
