Simples Sunday

As promised yesterday I am back with my combined Simples Sunday and LIM card which is 'Metallic Plus One Colour'
I have used silver embossing and Night of Navy, as really I like this combination, along with the Simply Stars stamp set and a sentiment from Embellished Events.
The stars were stamped in Versamark on a square of Whisper White cardstock and silver embossed, then matted onto Night of Navy and a white card blank. You can see the shine of the embossing in the smaller photo above. The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy, punched out with the Word Window Punch, then matted onto a Modern Label. A few Basic Rhinestones were added for a bit of sparkle.
I have to say I am much happier with this card than the one I made yesterday, a lot more CAS and more my style :0)

I hope you are having a good weekend and I'll be back soon

Sparkly Simples Sunday

For my Simples Sunday card this week I have, again, taken inspiration from the LIM challenge - 'Sparkle'.
To make this ultra easy card I punched a star, from the Merry Minis Punch Pack, in a piece of Silver Glimmer paper then punched out with a circle punch. This was fixed in the centre of a square of white card then onto a 4" card blank (oh I forgot to say that I rounded the corners first!). The sentiment, from Embellished Events, was stamped in silver then Basic Rhinestones randomly dotted around to finish the card.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend

Owl Santa

Here I am back again with yet another entry for the LIM challenge - A Christmas Bird. This time I have used the ever faithful Owl Builder and Bird Builder punches to make a Santa Owl. he is made from Crumb Cake, Real Red and Basic Black cardstock with a teeny piece of Silver Glimmer Paper. His hat was stamped from Embellished Events, cut out with paper snips and a bobble punched with one of the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.
For the background I took a square of Basic Black cardstock and swiped the Whisper White inkpad across the bottom to make the 'snow' and some Dazzling Diamonds for the sparkle. As it is meant to be a night scene I used just the tree bauble stamp from Warmth & Wonder to represent lights on a Christmas tree and the twinkly stars (again a stamp from Warmth & Wonder) are stamped with the Silver Metallic Encore pad. The finished panel was then matted onto a Basic Black card blank with a sentiment from Petite Pairs, stamped in silver, added to the bottom of the card.

Thanks for stopping by
