Sending Love and Hugs

Afternoon,

I'm sending Love and Hugs to my Mum and siblings today on the 21st Anniversary of the death of My Dad. I can't believe where the time has gone, it seems like only yesterday!!

The background to this card is created using a stencil and paste.

It was actually the paste left on the stencil after a previous use.

It seemed much too good to waste so I lay the stencil on a piece of purple card and used a baby wipe to clean the stencil, which transferred the paste to the cardstock. 

I also added a little mica spray and then some Altenew flowers and foliage which had also been coloured using layering stencils.

The second card also has a stencil and paste background, 

but I was a little over generous with the paste,

so the floral design hides a multitude of sins.....and a large splodge lol.

I love this layered die cut sentiment, which I used on both cards.

So sending love and hugs to All who are having a hard time at the moment.

Thanks for stopping by, with Love and Crafty Hugs

A Birthday Rose

Evening,

It has been perfect crafting weather today, not that I ever need an excuse to spend the day in the Craft Room lol.

I've been working on some samples for Creative Expressions, which are hush hush for now, so here is a card that I made a while ago using one of Jane Gill's fabulous Halloween stamp sets.

I stamped and embossed the rose onto black cardstock

and then coloured the rose and the spider with Iridescent Watercolour Paint.

I layered the fussy cut image over a piece of background from my stash.

The background was created using a stencil and paste along with some mica sprays.

I also found the die cut sentiment in my bits box, and added it along with a few gems.

Thanks for stopping by,

Love and Crafty Hugs
