Faith, Hope & Crafts

 Hello Friends I hope you all had a good week. I am slowly getting back into the swing of things after being gone almost a month.  Although I can't get over how cold it is here in New York. The wind chill goes right through you.  I hope it warms up a wee bit soon :) So on to my card for today's Friends with Flair over at Unity Blog . I went with another pink and grey theme today. I got to ink up the Nov 2013 Kit of the Month for this card. I just love this kit especially the sentiments and this butterfly stamp is just amazing.  If you know me you know I LOVE to emboss. It really is addicting. I was in Michaels craft store last weekend and picked up this crazy embossing powder. It is light pink in color with large and small parts of glitter through it and I just had to have it. I wanted to try it out with this butterfly stamp.  I started off with some white card and sponged distress ink in two different colours. I used the pink Victorian Velvet on the top a

Happy New Year Friends :) This is my first post of 2014. I Just got back from Scotland yesterday. I really enjoyed my trip home. It was such a nice break but I have missed my crafting :) Here is my card for this weeks friends with flair over at the Unity Blog .  I used the  Insightful Meadows stamp set and the Happy Birthday sentiment. I heat embossed a row of flowers with white embossing powder. Then stamped over it again just a little higher with just the VersaMark Ink to create some shadows. I added the sentiment and the ribbon to finish it off  :) Thanks for visiting have a great weekend :) 

  Hello Friends! I hope you have all had a wonderful week :) Here is my  Friends with Flair entry for this week. I used a white, gray and turquoise colour scheme, it was based on the tag I made a few months ago you can see it  HERE .  I wanted to make a card version this time and add some more detail to it.  I used feel the joy stamp for the flowers, the sentiment is from the  Every Breath stamp  set and the butterfly is from A Friend Loveth stamp set.  I embossed some of the flowers with white embossing powder and left some with just a water mark using VersaMark ink. I really like the effect it creates.  I hope you enjoy my card :) Are you all ready for Christmas??  I wish I could say I am but I am not.  I was meant to fly to Scotland last weekend but got sick with a horrible virus. So we  had to cancel our flights and rebook we now leave this Sunday yay :)  I need to run out tomorrow and get some last minute presents and re pack everything.  Have a good Christmas when i
