Just a couple of cards and Los

Hi everyone

I have been doodling about doing this and that, and here are some things that I thought I would post

1st is a couple of cards made with Spellbinders embossing foldersthe 1st uses a Magic stamp foam block. Magic stamp mouldable foam works so well with the embossing folders and the dies. Anyway here are the results


I used D-lites Fantastic flourish 1 and the mouldable foam and Scattered straw Distress ink I heated the mouldable foam then pressed it onto the cutting side of the die. Then inked the result up  in scattered straw. Stamped onto whie card. Then I embossed it with the M-Bossabilities Flora folder Then heavily inked with scattered straw to create the back ground. To create the ribbon I used the Magic stamp and the other side of the embossing folder. I can't wait to try mixing and matching dies and embossing folders.

This card I embossed gold glitter card with the Flora folder then inked with stazon. I love the two colour glitter.



Design House Digital has loads of new releases today and the above layout was created with one of them. Sarah Sullivans fantastic Fly Away with Me kit I love the kites and hot air balloons and the colour scheme is great for boys.
 
The second kit I have used is the Wonderful Fairy Dust kit by Kristin Damon
 
There are also a few more releases which I will be playing with in the near future
 

Bay Dreaming - Set Sail Digital Paper Set by Tia Hoffman  I love this kit can't wait to go on holiday will have to try and cadge a lift on a sailboat so I can all of use this. Don't think the rib we go dolphin spoting on will be quite right LOL
 
 

and some amazing glimmer  and glitter mist brushes called Glitzy splats and mists by Vanessa Fenton I know I'll be over using these I adore mists and glitters


So that's my blog post for today.

See you soon

Twelve designers contributed a total of 67 elements, 51 papers, and 4 alpha sets , and this gorgeous kit, and the treasure is worthy of the journey.  But, in addition, everyone who downloads the kit before Wednesday, March 27, will also be entered into a drawing for a $15 gift certificate to the Design House Digital shop!
