LiM 114 - 2nd entry Lime and Green [not vodka and lime!!]

Hi again fellow bloggers
Monday again and back to work but here is my second version of a Lime and Green thank-you card.

 This time - using the same card - I cut out an image with one of my new Dlites by spellbinders in Lime Bazill and overlaid the fancy image on a black background. The sentiment was stamped in Brilliance white ink on black and edged with white. Both images were then layered over lime green patterned ribbon.

HI Fellow bloggers - hope you are having a good weekend. Sadly here it is still very cold - only 3degrees - brrr! and we had snow falling again this afternoon - I so wish the spring would arrive.
Still crafting weather so not all bad Lol!
This week the LiM challenge was to use Lime and Black for the colour scheme.

I really like this colour scheme and am using it for a couple more cards.
I have made one of my ever popular thank-you cards as I always seem to need them.
I have used plain black card and the reverse of bazill bling in lime.
The centre strips are made using a Martha Stewart punch. I have punched out two black strips and slightly overlapped them and then placed a lime green punched strip on top in the centre.

The sentiment is a watermark embossed in clear as I thought it would make a nice effect but I think it looks better in real life rather than on the photo.

Cars!

Hi fellow bloggers - Easter Monday already and back to work tomorrow. having been under the weather for a while it will be good to get back to business as usual.
Hope you all had a pleasant Easter break.

This card was a quick one for a friend who wanted a male card with a car. I added ink from a grey shadow pad by hero arts and peacock feathers distress ink by ranger direct to card through a stencil. Then stamped the car in Smokey Grey Stazon and edged the die cut with peacock blue. All the dies used were spelllbinders. I used a stamp from a set by Joanna Sheen to add tyre marks as I think this male would have liked to be a bit of a boy racer if he had the chance!

LiM 113

Hi fellow bloggers hope you are having a good Easter. I have been eating quite a bit of cake - shame to let it go to waste Lol! Still time for some crafting and this week's LiM is to use scallops.

I have used a scalloped edge base card and then added octagon spellbinders  - [one plain and one scalloped] layered in an offset way  and then offset on  a toning ribbon and then added 3 gems toning  with the stamped image.

Hi fellow bloggers
Hope you are having a good weekend.
I have been making some jewellery bits this week -about time really Lol!
Anyway back to this weeks LiM challenge - to use beads - this isn't something I would do on a card so was a bit of a task to think what to do,

Anyway I came up with this design.
I used: -
apple green vellum layered twice
spellbinders heart circles
wire and seed beads
cocoa memento
odd sentiment stamp
crafters companion glitter spray for a bit of bling

Letter card

Hi fellow bloggers - I have so much crafting to catch up on!!
I made a letter card for a friend this time as I had some news to share and thought this would be a nice way to do it.

I used cream card for a more vintage look as I had stamped and triple embossed the image [old free stamp from craft stamper magazine] to give a more aged look without too much distressing. It was matted onto moss green lattice frame from spellbinders and then I used the card builder set to make additional mats. The image was coloured in before being embossed. The pale cream ribbon [from paper chase] and caramel ribbon [from Mei flower crafts] finished off the framed image.

LIM 111 - frame it

Hi fellow bloggers - glad to be back as have had one lurgy after another for a few weeks and now hope I have shaken them all off!

The LiM challenge this week is to frame your focal point and as I have a friend who loves cats have made one to send her.

I cut out a frame with a sizzix embosslit and then stamped on the frame with cat paw prints from a set I got some years ago from Lakeland. I then stamped a cat on a blue plastic material and cut it out with a spellbinders oval and stuck inside the card. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Used:

• Memento black ink for paws and sentiment
• stazon smokey grey for cat
• spellbinders lacey ovals
• lakeland catitude stamp set
