May Flowers

Welcome to this weeks CCEE stampers challenge.
Anne is our  hostess for the month of May.  Since April showers bring May flowers, my first challenge is to fill your card with pretty flowers.

For my card I used the alcohol ink background panel that I created the other week, this time I have used gloss card. I have had this heart die for awhile and I could see it as a stain glass window frame. I die cut my panel into the front of the card and glued the insert back onto the inside of the card replacing all the pieces so that it looks like an embossed panel. On a piece measuring the same as the front of the card I cut another window, I then added acetate to the front panel and glued the extra cover card sandwiching the acetate in between. I then cut the alcohol ink heart and glued it to the acetate and on the inside I added a green die cut to match the card. The sentiment is also die card with the alcohol ink card.
Sorry about the poor quality photo but I just couldn't get it without the green card reflection, I guess it just matches my blog name stamping on greens. LOL

Alcohol ink dreams

My card for today is made for a challenge that I do with a couple of friends. Each month we have a challenge to create a card with our supplies.

This month our challenge is to use Alcohol inks.

I created several background pieces on yupo paper, the first time I have used this paper, because when I had used the inks in the past we just had gloss card. 

Inspired by the recent views of the Aurora Australis, I used my background behind  the memory box Evergreen window. The sentiment was also cut from the background paper and popped up onto the white card.

For this card I die cut top panel with gold foil card, boy it is just so hard to photograph. I tilted the card for a different angle which shows a bit more of the marbled alcohol ink background.

Supplies:
Ranger Alcohol inks - Limeade, Terracotta, Raspberry, Wild Plum, mixative gold.
Dies: Elizabeth Craft Designs: stitched rectangle, away with words - dream, Couture Creations - wild & free Ekene Tree, Memory box - Everygreen Window. Yupo paper, gold foil card.

Happy Birthday

Thinking of you

This week I got together with a couple of friends, when we meet each month we shop at our favourite craft store and challenge ourselves to use our new purchases, this month it was Memory Box Clara corner die.

Using the white card I cut and embossed the corner die and trimed around the inside edge, next I cut the die in the blue card and layered the white over the top to create a shadow layer.

Take Care
