what you do today ....

 
my last scheduled post for now
 
when i get home i will be making some more cards ..... as sue wilson publishes one every day, i still have quite a few to catch up with!!
 
this is made as per sue's instructions using the heartfelt creations die.
i was a bit lacking in sentiments that fit the space!
i could never have seen this layout just by looking at the die!!
sue's eye is just spectacular.
 
i shall probably make more of these in different colours, as the card is coloured using distress inks not pre-coloured card.

merry christmas

 
this simple sue wilson design is made using the justrite background stamp in 3 layers, colouring each layer with distress inks, leaving the top white.
 
a spellbinders poinsettia finishes it off beautifully.
 
i made 4 of these as they were very simple to make.

i have a few more cards to publish this week from my last big donation bundle to the sussex beacon charity
 
this elegant gold and black card is another of the amazeballs sue wilsons designs.

thank you

 ....catching up with posting my makes....
 
a lovely, simple sue wilson design
 
the frame is something different in technique ... colouring a piece of card before die cutting, with various distress inks then stamping and clear embossing.  a darker ink over the top highlights the stamped image [justrite flourish background stamp]
a nice greeny-bluey-teal finish!
 
i have another 45 cards to deliver to my charity!
[less 1 i just gave to my doctor to say thankyou!]
