Mum & Dad Inky Impressions Anniversary!

Here's the double stepper card (I think that's what it's called) I made for Mum & Dad's Anniversary last week. We went to Cornwall, so I thought the lighthouse was quite apt, and thought I'd go for a slightly cute-funny card!!

Supplies:
Images: "Rock 'n Roll Donnie" and "Zoe's Dress Up Day" from Inky Impressions, the lighthouse is from CocoDingo, all coloured with Promarkers.
Papers: Papermania "Love" paper pack - spotted and stripy paper
Embellishments: Heart brads, peel off hearts, glamour dust.

Wedding Box!

Here's the box I decorated for Rachel - I wanted to give her something to keep some of her wedding "memories" in, and also put a few little keepsakes in. I knew she had her something old, something new & something borrowed, but I thought she might need something blue (and a silver sixpence for her shoe)!

The flowers are handmade - a technique I learnt at a recent Trimcraft demo! Basically cutting some scalloped circles, wetting them, folding them/scrunching them, then securing with a brad.

 Supplies:
Basics: Papermania nested box, Artiste Pearl "Ice Blue" acrylic paint
Embellishments: Chipboard bookplate, peel off, pearl brads, ribbon, gems
Tools: Nesties blossoms (for the flowers)

Movie Poster Card

This was a bit of a last minute idea for a friend's husband from my ballroom class who loves movies. They have SO many DVDs/Blu-rays and have lent me quite a few that I hadn't seen, and we all went to see X-Men First Class last week. So, having nothing really in my stash to create with, I found these images of posters, and made them into a card. They're all quite sci-fi (robots, mutants) so I thought the starry space background would work!

Supplies:
Images: From Google!
Paper: Another that Mum printed off for me, along with the sentiment.

Paper: Pink Petticoat Vintage Rose Collection
