Jan: Drop down ...pop up a 3d card

I love structured cards despite the fact that I make loads of mistakes and end up with lots of scraps. The finished result is always worth it. This card was one of two that the lovely Claire Rowlands (Molly Bloom stamps) shared with us at a recent workshop. As you know I'm a poor colourer iner (my word for illustrator) so I substituted the images that needed colouring to one that was already done. Jean has these gorgeous vintage images in the shop and they are so versitile. Regular peeps will remember that  Julie used them recently to make some fab humourous  cards.

I've covered my card with a selection of those gorgeous Pion papers and adorned it with the fabulous Hobby House flowers,pins and pearls.

So many pretty things to play with in the shop so check them out. Happy shopping.

Keep it Simple.....

I know colouring in is very popular but I just don't have the patience.......... or a huge amount of Copics or Promarkers so I've kept this very simple. take a piece of white semi gloss card, cut a tag 8x16 cm and use Distress Inks to create your background... I wiped mine on with a makeup sponge. Spray with water and dry with a heat gun .Keep to the same colour palette . Stamp your image in black, add a few pearls and some stickles.......and there you have her..

One Ice Queen! Hope you like her!
