Greetings! So hard to believe it is already mid-April, and yet, that it is "only" April with these hot temperatures!
Today's cards are traditionally colored with Tombow markers and pastel squares. The images are gold-embossed. Oldie but goodie techniques. The Shoe Cottage is being retired by Sparkle N Sprinkle and is currently available 1/2 off, while supplies last.
Most of the cards were designed using Cards N Things Sketch #115:
One thing I experimented with was sewing on cards. These are my first attempts on a new machine, and I learned a lot! It was fun layering cardstock, designer papers, lace, punched pieces and tule fabric, and deliberately making crazy designs or multiple lines. DEFINITELY easy.
Also used were: Spellbinders Grand Labels One, Spellbinders Rose Creations, Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish, assorted K and C designer papers, Martha Stewart punches ribbons/fabrics from Joann's.
Wow Donna ! These cards are so beautiful with all the vibrant colors and layers ! Well maybe gold embossing and Tombows are oldies but they sure are goodies to me too ! Cheers, Shirley x
Wow! De, these shoes are so bright and cheerful! Plus all of them are different! Love what you did with each card and I agree the oldies are the goodies!
What a beautifully colored image and I just love that rainbow in the background, great card with your stitching! Thanks for joining us this week @ CTO for our "Just because (must use pink)" challenge :)
This selection of cards are so gorgeous, the colours are absolutely stunning, I'd forgotten how beautiful gold embossing can be. Thank you for joining us this week at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations. Hugs Caroline x
