Periwinkle Cameo Cards

Hi there
Here are some cards to show you...




I have used Kaisercraft's Periwinkle 6 1/2" paper pad and used sage cardstock to match.
My new Spellbinders Decorative labels 8 are fabulous! I have loved cutting out the various shapes and also using the Labels 8 shape that team up with them. I have also used the new Fancy Tags Framed 2 to put the greeting on.
The cameos I have made with the Easy Cast Resin - the mold is a chocolate mold I have had for years!!!  I have tried colouring in the background with copics and also adding alcohol ink to the resin.
I like the alcohol ink background the best, but it means doing the cameo in 2 parts - I filled in the lady first and then once that was set I mixed up more resin and added about 10 drops of alcohol ink - latte, to colour it and then filled in the rest of the mold. The last card is the one with the cameo done this way. The first 2 cards the cameo background has been coloured with copics.

Christmas Cards & Box

Hi there.
Here is a Christmas set of 6 cards and a recycled box to put them in that I made for the Artfull crafts Blog!
I have used papers from Kaisercraft's Turtle Dove 6x6 pad. I used my sewing machine to make a border. I have  added a tag and then used the Collectables in various places.  Each card has a MFT diecut scallop border from the red shiny paper, from the pad, to hide where the papers join!









I have then made this box for the set of cards to go in, as a set like this would be a neat gift.  The box is a Bell Tea box! A perfect size for fitting 6 cards & envelopes in.

I painted the box with Kaisercraft olive paint and then added paper to the top and edge. I used my Spellbinders Parisian Accents edge die to make the lacy edging.
The Happy Christmas ribbon is from  Artfull Crafts and the berries & leaves are from Kaisercrafts Twig & Berry collection.
Well I am off to have a cup of tea!
