Over the Rainbow with Make it Crafty

I had a bumper delivery of Chipboard a week or so ago! Oh how I love Make it Crafty Chippies! They're so easy to use & so versatile and very reasonable to post from Oz to the UK.

I decided to do something different with Somewhere Over the Rainbow Chipboard and try to make a sort of reverse rainbow.

I kept the rainbow really subtle with just a hint of grey to give it definition & concentrated the colour on the chippie. A hint of shimmer with Wink of Stella, a layer of Glossy Accents & a blue sky & there it was finished. What do you think?

I do love the dimension chippies add to cards.

Here's a close up of the Wink of Stella on the top edges of the bands of the rainbow. Difficult to capture on camera as it's subtle, but I really thinks it makes a difference.

I hope my rainbow has made you smile.

Clean & Simple with Tiddly Inks

It's challenge time again over at Tiddy Inks Challenge blog & this month the theme is 'Clean and Simple'. Well most of your now I'm the Queen of Clean & Simple at the best of times so I thought I'd better go Ultra Clean & Simple for this one. 

It's an idea I've had in my head for a while. Luckily not a card I'm making with anyone in mind, but they're always hard cards so handy to have made. I used Grandma's Lilies as the focal point & typed a simple sentiment using Great Vibes font. 

Unfortunately I forgot how difficult white & green are to photograph. The lilies have a touch of pale green in the shading & going up the base of the petals which just doesn't catch on camera. I also added a touch of Wink of Stella so they shimmer in the light - you can sort of see it in the next photo, but not properly. One day I will learn to make things that are easy to photograph!

A simple sentiment highlighted with Sakura Stardust pen.

Simple, but heart felt. It's a card I hope I don't have to send for a very long time.
