My Valentine

Here is my valentine card for my DH. The image is a freebie by Inger Harding which I've coloured with my Copics. I've started with a shaped card cut with a Go Kreate die on ice turquoise pearl card. Next I cut a smaller deeper turquoise layer with a the same die set. The background paper is from a Romantic pad which I bought in Lidl a while ago. I've inked each layer with Tim Holtz ditress ink in dusty concord and finished off with a sentiment made on my computer. All the items on this card have been made a while ago when I've been playing with something or another so I searched my stash of things I made earlier and made this card. Hope you like it and thanks for looking.

Pretty but easy

I don't usually get time to post at weekends but here we go!
I made this card quite quickly, it's the kind of card to suit many occasions don't you think? The butterfly is cut from the Art Nouveau cartridge at 4". I've glittered some areas and added gems to pick out the body and highlight the wings. The embossed paper is from Create and Craft. I've added 2 layers beneath, one is the same card as the butterfly and the deeper pink is embossed and again from Create and Craft. The pattern paper I've had in my stash and forgotten about, I cut it with a Go Kreate die. I tend to make a number of die cuts to add to my collection when I've got my machine out as the Big Shot Pro is heavy and takes up space. This means I'm often able to make a card like this quite quickly as the shapes are already done. Likewise when I'm exploring a new cart I again keep what I've cut. It's so useful to work this way when like me you don't have a craft room large enough to work in.
