CrafTangles Beautiful Blooms Border Designs - CrafTangles DT

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend?  I had a laid back weekend for a change and managed to tick off quite a  few things on my list so I'm happy!

I'm on the CrafTangles blog with a couple of cards using the Beautiful Bloom Border.  Not only does the set have a gorgeous intricate border, but it has a number of heartfelt sentiments and I do love a good sentiment.

My first card uses the spotlight technique, where you stamp the image, cut out parts, colour them and put them back like a jigsaw!  How's that for a technique in a nutshell?!

I went for shades of green on my second card, as it's one of my favourite colours and I used my water brush with various shades of green from my Zig pens.

The background is made using a stencil and some faux stitching.  The sentiment is heat embossed and faux stitching added to finish.

For a more in depth look at how I made these cards please take a look at my post on the CrafTangles blog HERE.

Have a great week!

The Festival of Lights - CrafTangles DT

Happy Wednesday!

I'm up on the CrafTangles blog HERE with a couple of celebratory cards for Diwali.  Diwali is the festival of light celebrated by Hindus and Sikhs.

You won't be surprised to learn that I have used 'light' as the theme for both my makes.

For my first card I've tried to highlight the diva lamp, keeping the rest of the card monochrome, bar the yellow border.  I've masked the lamp and used distress inks to create the glow from flame.

On my second card the fireworks are lighting up the sky and I used the appropriately named 'Fireworks' stencil with both distress oxides and heat embossing.  Don't the family look colourful in their traditional outfits?

There's a lot more detail on my makes over on the CrafTangles blog.

See you on Friday!
