Card Patterns

Happy Friday!

This week has certainly flown by for me as it has been jam packed full of fun days out, with friends, family & good work days! I'm looking forward to the weekend to slow down a little & relax!

Anyway, I have a card to share with you today that uses the current sketch over on Card Patterns. This is the sketch ...

And here is my card ...

There is quite a bit of pattern on this card for me a CAS kinda girl, but there is still some white space in there!! I started out by choosing a patterned paper from Joyful Butterfly digital collection. I then used the colours in the paper collection to build my card. 

I used 3 of the small doilies from Decorative Doilies - The Hands of Time & the Sentiment is from Extra Time. The border punch is SU! and the flowers are die cut using PTI Beautiful Blooms dies. It's certainly a cheery card & I'm pleased with the results! 

Thats all from me today, but I will be back tomorrow with another card to share! Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs

Wait a MINUTE!

Whoohooo! It's Wednesday, that means were halfway & closer to the weekend!! Today I am taking a little trip out for the day to Leeds for a spot of shopping & research whilst my other half takes an exam!! 

Before I go out though I thought I'd share a card I have made using some new crafting goodies I bought at the weekend ...

For this card I used another Retro Sketch for my card LO, you can see this weeks sketch HERE & below.

I started by stamping the cog image all over my card base using some yummy Versamark Dazzle Frost ink. It has a lovely frosty shimmer & is a NEW ink to my collection! I then used the PTI's Wine Bottle die to cut a piece of white card stock that I had pre-stamped with the cog image in white pigment ink. 

I then over stamped the 3 circles from the 'Time' stamp set & you get this cool velvet type effect. I followed a technique I had seen HERE over on Hero Arts. I used some NEW to me ink pads for the circles which is Ranger Archival Ink in Aquamarine (available to buy at The Stamp Attic) and Watermelon to stamp the clock face.

I am addicted to making lovely rosettes out of all kinds of patterned paper using my new Memory Box Rosette die! On this card I used a scrap of PTI's distressed dots paper. A simple button finishes it off!

In the photo below you can see the shimmer of the Versamark Dazzle Frost & the velvet technique along with the dimension of the rosette.

Ok, so thats all from me today but I will be back again tomorrow with another project!! 

Just if you were wondering both the TIME & EXTRA TIME stamp sets are back in stock on the website HERE!! 

Thanks for stopping by!
