I have been busy making cards over the summer, just haven't had chance to put them on my blog, so here is another one I made for Joanna Sheen, using her gorgeous 'The Age Of Elegance' CD.
I used an 8 x 8 base card and layered green card on top. I then cut some white card to size to layer over the top of the green card and embossed it with the Spellbinders M bossabilities 'Dainty Dots' embossing folder, which is just so versatile and elegant. I tied a length of green ribbon towards the bottom of the white cards and then stuck it to the base card.
I printed one of the topper sheets from the CD and cut the main image using one of my Spellbinders dies, layering it onto cream and coffee coloured layers before fixing it towards the top pf the card using foam pads.
One of the smaller images from the topper sheet I punched out using my Epiphany tool from Crafters Companion and attached it to the ribbon with a tie, using the same ribbon as before.
I finished the card with some artificial flowers I had in my stash.

Joanna Sheen - Coffee and Cream
Phew - what a summer! It's been amazingly glorious of course, but also extremely busy both at work and at home and this is the first time I have had chance to blog for ages!
I just thought I would show one of the cards I designed for Joanna Sheen a while ago using one of the Grufflies stamp sets - 'Bearytastic Day'.
I wanted to show how a card can be made just using the small images which come on these stamp sets. I randomly stamped the paper cases and chocolate image on white paper and coloured them in using Promarkers. I cut the paper down to size to layer on top of a square card blank and brown card, colouring the edges of the paper with Antique Linen Distress Ink before sticking it down.
For the main image, I used the smaller images of the used coffee cups, which I stamped to the side of a computer generated sentiment and coloured again using the Promarkers. I then cut the image down to size using Martha Stewarts Punch Around The Page punches along the bottom edge and top two corners. I stuck a piece of striped coffee and cream ribbon towards the bottom edge and layered it onto another piece of brown card.
I stuck this onto the main card using foam pads, with a small doily placed to the top left hand corner.
I finished the card using paper flowers I coloured with my Promarkers and stuck pearls to the centre.
The colour combination for this card would go lovely with the blog giveaway by The Ribbon Girls - use this link to visit their shop and see the amazing goodies they have on offer.
