A comfy nook for art, craft and seeking simplicity.
I used Kraft card and the various papers and then added 3 stars and the sentiment I made in Craft Artist on foam pads to make it pop a little.
The layout is from the Sketch Wednesday challenge.
I wanted to make the inside match
Just a quick post for a quick card!!
I think the papers are die cut were from Papermania. Lots of layers and Kraft card which I think can help add to the boy feel.
I added background colour to the LOTV die cut by daubing distress inks onto it.
I went for a single paper for the inside.
The sentiment stamp is also LOTV- I do love their circular sentiments.
This is the holder I made for the voucher. I clipped the crown and ribbon (recycled from a gift I received) to the voucher to pull it out like a tag.
And this is the back!

I used a LOTV die cut as I was in a rush! I coloured the background using distress ink and also used it to edge the card.
The beautiful background paper was from stash and meant I could keep my embellies simple- ribbons, a flower from stash and gem flower and butterflies coloured with my Promarker.
I was in such a rush to post this that I only took one photo and forgot to show the matching decoration inside!
This is an anniversary card- hopefully not too girly!!
The back layer is a paper from Craft Artist coloured purple. I then cut the frame using textured card with my Cougar and blended Dusty concord distress ink over it. I used a sponge dauber to get more intense colour for the circle in the middle of the frame. I then cut a scalloped square with the Cougar and blended milled lavender around the edges and attached with foam pads.
I then used a LOTV die cut on foam pads. I sponged milled lavender around the background and added Perfect Pearls. I then added some Spray and Shine.You get a lovely shimmer at certain angles but it is difficult to capture in the photo.
I made the paper inside using Craft Artist- I added the cutting files over the backing paper and recoloured them to match. This means the inside matches but it is flat and doesn’t use so much paper!!

I made my papers using Craft Artist and colour matched to the Argyle logo.
I used a Lili of the Valley digi but recoloured the shirt with promarkers and did the background and football with distress inks.
This is the base when the card is opened up.
This is the back of the card.

and thought that topping the card with stiched bunting would be perfect. So here is my card
I blended distress ink around the edges of the card. I designed my paper using Craft Artist so virtually all of the elements are digital.
My image is a Lili of the Valley die cut but I added some extra clour and coloured the background.
It is difficult to see on this photo but the orange edges around the bunting are a satin stitch effect.
I decorated the inside of the card in matching clours but added the sun and buildings element.
I love gardening (although it’s not much fun trying to do it in the rain at the moment. I especially like when you’ve done some gardening and you can relax and enjoy a cup of tea out there!
I inked the edges of the card with distress ink. I created the background paper using Craft Artist.
I used a Lili of the Valley die cut and coloured the background and tree with Distress Inks. I used a LOTV sentiment.
In keeping with the theme I added twine and a mini metal trowel I found.
I made the Silent Night paper on craft artist. I went for shiny papers for the layers and also for the punched snowflakes. I blinged up the snowflakes and added snowflake gems as well. I stickled the edges of the die cut for some more sparkle!!

I used Lili of the Valley pictures free with a mag. They are so cute! I coloured them with Pro and flexmarkers. I wanted bright Spring colours combined with two images to show the changeable April weather! April showers and April sun.
