Hi folks hope your well I am here today to share with you my Creative Inspirations GDT card. This week we would like to see Distressing on your creations.

For my card I have used a stamp by Lili of the Valley. Love this little stamp. I haven’t inked her up for a while so a good excuse to get her out. 

I have colour the stamp with my promarkers. My DP is from a old pad which I have had for far too long. I think it maybe either Basic Grey or Dovecraft. I am trying hard to use these pads up. I have distressed. all the layers and then used my distress ink pads on the edges. Embossed a piece of card with a birds & swirls embossing folder then inked over it. A piece of lace and some ribbon along with a few pearls to finish. The sentiment is a Anna Griffin one. I will be giving this to one of the teachers at nephew's school who is retiring. there is actually 3 of them so expect more to be posted at later date.

Magical - New GDT - Top Tip Tuesday





Good morning look at me i am the lucky person Guesting this fortnight at TOP TIP TUESDAY so excited and wow what a challenge.
This fortnight is being hosted by Elaine and she has asked us to create something
MAGICAL 
 ie DRAGONS, FAIRIES or something in that theme
The sponsor & prize for this challenge is
Sponsor and Prize



So let me share my card for your inspiration before you hop over to the blog to checkout the magical creations by the team
 and a close up of  this fab image from Rick St Dennis called 50 winks
I have coloured my image with my promarkers and have used co ordination card stock for the matting frame and jo anna sheen butterfly die. The Dp is from Dovecraft Princess fairytale and have embellished it with some satin Ribbon and Gems. I have added a touch of glitter to the wings but not sure if it shows.
I have a Tip for you
If you are sticking ribbon to your card with double sided tape. Stick the tape to the ribbon first then cut to length. This will help seal the ends to prevent fraying. A touch of PVA on the ends of ribbon when you have tied your bow will stop fraying too
Well hope you like and can come and play along with us this next 2 weeks and dont forget to share a tip
Thanks for popping by and I will be back tomorrow with some more creations

Stars Stripes or how about both is this weeks challenge that started Friday. Hope you like because I picked it as it was Amercian Indepence Day and this weekend there was so much happenning in the Uk with the final of the Tennis omg wasnt that a match and also the Tour de France visiting Yorkshire so lots of stars on our TV and soil.
Now you can pick any theme just as long as it has either Stars or Stripes so this could be male or female.

Our fab and generous sponsor is 
BUGABOO STAMPS

 So if you havent entered what are you waiting for.
This weekend was my sisters youngests 11th birthday such a shame she isnt with us anymore to see him grow up but his grandparents are doing a fab job. So my card is for his birthday.

The DP is echo park sweet girl and I have used memory box star circle cut in half and placed around the image. Die cut Jacks name and added some faux stitching. The image is coloured with promarkers and then 3d glossed for that expoxy effect. The silver mirri layer has been embossed with a cuttlebug birthday folder and of course i had to add a little ribbon hidden behind the layers if you look closely.
Hope you like as much as Jack did and he had a fab birthday with lots of family and friends about visiting him. So now it is your turn and this week it get the very hard decision of picking the top three thankfully my teamies do have some input.
