Posting pastels

Howdy folks I've just finished making a card for my friends 60th birthday.  I haven't gone the traditional route and put her age on the front but I've used an inspirational quote as she is quite an inspirational lady.

My holidays are drawing to a close and that will slow up my crafty shenanigans a little but need to save some energy in order to achieve my next project.  I have the mammoth task of sorting out the cellar but there is a little bit of carrot dangling going on as DH has said that if I do we can convert it into my very own craft room.  Happy Clare :-).

For this card I have used: Papermill white linen card

                                        Papermill black card

                                        Tim Holtz distress inks

                                        Adirondack snow peak

                                        Versa magic 

                                        Imagination Crafts stencils harlequin and butterfly delight

                                        Inkylicious peacock feather and live life

                                        Lavinia stamps stars

I used the distress inks to make my pastel background, using the masks is sponged over with ranger snow caps pigment ink.   The images were stamped using pale versa magic colours and I used seedless preserves to stamp the sentiment and darken the edges of the card.

I layered my finished card onto black card and embellished with gems.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at my blog, thank you for taking the time to look.  I really love seeing all of your comments.

Crafty Easter hugs,
