Its Wednesday Crafters... were half way to the weekend .... yeyyyyy i here you all say.. So i thought id give you a wee break from Swallowtail today and show you a card ive made using Stampin' Up! fabric...

Ive used a Doilie mask cut from cardstock Vellum, using the Sizzlit 'Delicate Doilies' to make my random background, using a sponge and pool party ink, to match the stampin up fabric, The fabric Ive used is NEW and available from the Spring and Summer Cattie, its called More Amour - and includes 3 totally gorgeous fabrics, the pack of fabric costs £8.95, the fabric ive used here.. has doilies on it although you cant really see them as ive pleated the fabric up...

I came up with this card to play along with The Paper Players- In Stitches Challenge, to play along to click on the link below...

Take a closer look:

I have never machined on any of my cards before so as soon as i saw the challenge i knew i had to play along... i think you maybe seeing more stitching on my cards on the future and more fabric.... i like the look and the interest it gives my cards...

I love the colours, and the elegant butterfly punch in pool party and vellum cardstock and finished off with the pearls... 

What I used:

Stamps - Thats the ticket and Occasions Alphabet

Ink - Pool Party

Chalkboard Technique

Have you all noticed at how popular and on trend currently the black board and chalk look is?? well when i saw this weeks challange over at CAS-ual Fridays was black and white plus 1… you all just know what i thought of straight away – yep you guessed it Chalk board technique..
if you would like to take part in the challenge click on the image below

There are several ways to create the technique..
1- stamp image using SU white craft ink (101731 @ £6.95)
2 – stamp image in white craft ink then heat emboss with white embossing powder
3 – stamp image in versamark ink then heat emboss with white powder.
i used option 3 for my card take a look:

Its quite popular to add a white border around the edge this can be done with a white gel pen, i opted to pierce all round my edges. To give the look of a real chalk board i gently sponged around the edges with white craft ink, over my sentiment and around my punched out flower…

Ive also flicked white embossing powder over my card then heated the card from behind..

So my plus 1 was Pink… i just love Melon Mambo and black together…


I couldnt resist adding a butterfly with some bling
Heres what i used:
Bloomin Marvelous stamp set and Vintage Verses both FREE during Sale a Bration, Basic Black, Whisper white and Melon Mambo card stock and ink, Craft stampin’ ink pad, Elegant buttterfly punch, Bitty Butterfly punch, white embossing powder, paper piercing tool (126189 @ £3.50) and Essentials Paper Piercing pack (126187 @ £7.25)
