Pink Iris card


Hi Everyone. Here is one of my DL cards inspired by Tracy Evans. I fell in love with her stamps on AALL& Create. During lockdown she has been so kind to show some fantastic tutorials on her FaceBook page. I have learned so much and in particular working with mediums again.  Hope you like this simple card using a few of her stamps. Terrible weather here in Ayrshire Scotland today, but its shown to pick up in to high temperatures by mid week.  Hugs Rita xx

CCC Challenge 13 : Sentiment only

Hello Again Everyone. Here we are and another two weeks have past, so now we are on to the Lovely Christmas Card Club Challenge 13,  chosen by our lovely Christine and she would like to see  Sentiments as the focal point on our cards. I do love cards with nice sentiments and I think they catch your eye even more. My first card was 6" X 8" and I used dies to set the frame, Lovely gold card matted on to white then another layer of gold . Then used an Inkylicious stamp from years ago and embossed it with Stuart Gill Midas Touch embossing powder. finished off with a red organza bow. my second card is the same size matted and layered in white and silver. I glittered the edges of each piece with Unicorn Sparkle glitter. I fussy cut both the sentiment and the red mirri card and edged them as well. with the addition of some Holly I finished my card. Thanks to Christine for such a great challenge.  Stay Safe Everyone.  Hugs Rita xx

Christmas Card Club Challenge 12. Snowflakes

Here we are in to June now. Gosh aren't the months just flying by.  I trust everyone is keeping well, all apart from our own Elizabeth and her lovely husband Alan who have both been hospitalized with Covid-19.  Happy to say that they are now at home recuperating and hopefully feeling a little bit better.
Anyway, this fortnight it's Gwen's turn to choose our theme and she would love to see Snowflakes on our cards.  I managed two again both using embossing folders and lots of lovely glitter. I have inserted a scene from some used cards and both cards got a bow.  Beautiful weather here for over two weeks but seemingly its more rain on the way, so It will save me from watering the garden just as much. Take Care everyone and Stay Safe.  Hugs Rita xxx
