I wanted to make a card for a female friend who is very supportive and we enjoy chatting over a cup of tea. I thought a vintage/ distressed look was appropriate. I thik this is real girl power- the support we give each other!

I used a LOTV die cut but added in some extra colour using Promarkers in a couple of places and added  Background too. Papers were from stash and the cream card at the back was coloured using brown distress ink as were the edges of the card and die cut.
The ribbon is a beautiful brown and beige.
Not a colour combination I use mch but I like it for this card!

First time using distressing today.

I used lavender and brick red distress inks on the edge of the LOTV die cut. I used textured paper and used the two distress inks on them. I ripped the edges of the smaller paper.

I couldn’t get a very good photo of the flowers I put together. They are made of two layers of petals which I highlighted with the distress inks and then pink glitter glue. I put them together with glossy accents and added a pearl embellishment to the middle.

A second card tonight. This is for a friend who loves gardening.

The card layout is based on one I saw on Create and Craft TV- I’m afraid I can’t remember who was making it to give them credit!!
The backing paper is lilac with some sky blue and isn’t showing up too well here but it is lush! It is from Snowman papers. The sky blue and lilac card is from stash. The lilac ribbons were cut out of clothes and saved! The sky blue butterfly embellishment is from stash.

This is another great LOTV die cut. Once again I have added some colours to get a better match to the card I decided to add grass, leaves and some more lilac on the flowers. I also added the sky blue ribbon to the hat to match the card.
