Starry Starry Night 2!

Well this is the card I promised you earlier in the week but I am afraid the week ran away with me, so here we are again on Sunday and I still haven't posted it!

So here you go - what do you think.

I decided on this one to put the bow at the top and I think I actually prefer this, as it draws the eye upwards where there is not so much going on.

The items used are exactly the same as my last post, but just as a reminder:

SW Christmas Cottage Scenes die

SW Starry Night Sky die

SW Pierced Rectangle dies

CE Foundation cardstock in pearlescent midnight blue and icicle

Ribbon from my own stash

Cosmic shimmer glue

White glitter

Hopefully I will be sharing something else later in the week.

Starry Starry Night

I think this may end up being my batch card for Christmas as absolutely love this combination of dies.  I have used my favourite colour scheme (navy and white!) but think I might have to mix it up a bit as think it would lovely in other colours.

 For this card I cut the starry night sky die out of midnight blue cardstock and the Christmas cottage scene out of the pearlescent icicle cardstock. 

I popped some glue across this die and added some glitter to make it glisten like snow.  These two dies were stacked on top of each other to set the scene.  I added a frame of the icicle cardstock and  placed the card onto a midnight blue background.  To finish off I added a strip of white ribbon and added a bow to it.

For this card I used the following:

SW Christmas Cottage Scenes die

SW Starry Night Sky die

SW Pierced Rectangle dies

CE Foundation cardstock in pearlescent midnight blue and icicle

Ribbon from my own stash

Cosmic shimmer glue

White glitter

I have another very similar card which I will share tomorrow.

Take care and until next time, love and crafty hugs.

Anniversary Card

Well I have a couple of wedding anniversaries coming up this week so the next couple of cards will be Happy Anniversary ones.

The first card is a simple design which involves cutting 2 of the Sue Wilson Shadow Box Lattice die, one in pearl icicle white and the other in pearl midnight blue. These were offset to create the different colour lattice work.  I added the Sue Wilson daisy flower cluster which were cut in icicle and the flowers in the midnight blue. The sentiment was one by Crafter's Companion.  I cut a large border in the midnight blue card  to add some serious contrast,

To finish off the card and to add a bit of bling I added some frosty stickles to the middle of the flowers, which looks a bit strange in the photograph but look much nicer in real life!

I hope you enjoy this weeks card and I will be back very soon with another anniversary card, which is one I have made for my daughter, but you will have to wait until the beginning of October for me to share that one as I can't share until she has received it!

With love and crafty hugs
