In the spotlight!

For my VIP Group this week I have gone with the

Spotlight technique along with some masking.

I have used Darling Details stamp set and I think

the finished card looks pretty ok.

Yay we had sunshine all morning. Went to Belfast for

a walk about and lunch.

Great to see so many people smiling again.

It's amazing how a bit of sun can cheer you up.

Have a great weekend and thanks for all your lovely comments!

Take a leaf out of my book!

It's Valerie's turn to choose the theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

and this fortnight it's all about books!

I got this lovely bundle recently called

Gorgeously Made and it has the script stamp as well

as the lovely punched page look.

I used  the Foursquare Decorative Masks to create

the little bubble bath squares on my very vanilla background.

I stamped the script along the right hand side

then used the die to cut along the left side.

I added one of the leaf dies, blended using lost lagoon ink.

The sentiment was computer generated and cut using

another one of those gorgeous dies.

Got a lovely walk down at the Lakes this morning, sun shone

the whole time. Even got coffee in the garden!

Beginning to get a bit overcast now but happy I got all

that squeezed in!!

Spring into action!

 

Happy Monday!

What a weekend of rain we had. It just never stopped!!

Hope you had better weather than us here in the North of Ireland.

Anyway I wanted to share my newsletter freebie funfold card.

It's called a springboard card as the little mechanisms are like springs

to make each part pop out.

Not a great photo but you can get the tutorial via my Newsletter.

It folds flat for posting too!

I have used Darling Details and Timeless Arrangements bundles.

The papers are from the Glorious Gingham pack and the

ink colours are berry burst and lemon lime twist.

The day started with rain....again... but it's dry at the minute.

Who knew July's biggest topic would be rain!!

I am hoping to get a nice walk in later,

but preferably a dry one.

Have a great week everyone.

Appreciation day!

My VIP video card was inspired by one of the artisan team ladies.

Nowhere near like the original but I did enjoy making it.

I went with berry burst colours which I think look

really rich and fresh against the white

Enjoy your weekend!
