Daydream Cassie

I used a stamp from Sugar Nellie called 'Daydream Cassie' and I coloured it with Spectrum Noir Pens.

I cut the image out using Spellbinders Decorative Labels One and used Peacock Feather Distress Ink around the inside of the die.

This was mounted onto some light blue card that I embossed with Embossalicious Embossing Folder Dottie and then cut with Grand Decorative Labels One, which I also used to make the card.

To finish, I used a bow made from Teal Seam Binding and added some rainbow gems.

The sentiment was stamped with Memento Teal and was from Just Rite Going Places Vintage.

Egyptian Birthday Card

I was asked to make a card for a colleague at work and he wanted it for his mother.  It is not a theme that I would usually make but as his mother's middle name was Cleopatra he had asked me to make it with an Egyptian theme as he was unable to get what he wanted in the shops.

I used a decoupage image from a Glitter Girls and Dufex range Egyptian Starlight from a few years ago - although it was not Cleopatra - for my topper. 

I used some gold Stardream card for the background and cut out a small border to around the card from the Decoupage sheet.  It was meant to be a larger border but as I did not have enough, I cut it narrower so that it would go right round.  

I cut out an oval in blue Centura an oval using Spellbinders Grand Decorative Ovals One die.  I then embossed some gold Stardream card using the Embossalicious Embossing Folder - Birthday Text and cut out another oval from that with the same Spellbinders set but using a smaller die.

I cut out the sentiment with Britannia dies on blue Centura card to finish.  

My colleague was very pleased with it and so was his mother.
