One layer cards at A Blog Named Hero

I have a few cards over at A Blog Named Hero today - here's a sneak peek:

Make sure you drop on over there to check the rest of them out!

Inspired by Ardyth

I saw a card this morning by Ardyth of MASKerade, who was, in turn, inspired by another card maker.  I decided that I had to CASE Ardyth card immediately! 

 I used all Hero Arts stamps ("Lotus Leaves" and "Many Birthday Messages") and three Hero Arts Shadow Inks (Soft Pink, Bubblegum and Soft Leaf).

Thanks for visiting - have a lovely day :)

Blue stencil

I love this stencil from Memory Box.  It's like a ready made card - elegant and pretty, so after sponging some blue Distress Inks, I only had to add a sentiment!

Fusion - Dining Splendor

Another FUSION challenge begins today - and I decided to go with a fusion of the photo and the sketch - I just tipped the sketch on its side!

So, here's the thing. When I finished making the card above, I wasn't entirely convinced I liked it - there's not enough white space for my liking.  So I made this card as well. 

And then I wasn't entirely sure which one I preferred.  So I decided to show you both, and let you decide!

Thanks for visiting :D

Some glittery goodness

I made these two cards at the same time - cutting out from two colours of glitter paper for one card seemed a waste!

 (I need to get myself some more of those cute-as-anything little wooden birdies! I've run out!!)

 I used three main colours from this years Pantone Spring colour palette (if you count silver glitter as Glacier Grey, which I do!)  I came across this thanks to the awesome Taheerah Atchia and her gossip column at the Winnie and Walter Blog, so I will be linking my first card up there.
