I love having new toys to play with!

As hoped I've made some time to work with the stamps from the Beside the Beach and Under the Sea sets.  I also slipped in the beautiful nautilus shell from the Seashells die set.

Here they are - featuring the Four Square Pop-up  card (I learned from my friend Janine) we'll be doing in the August classes.

We had a very imaginative group in class today - thanks ladies!

These lovely cards were made using a masking technique and Colorbox inks daubed in a circular motion to get the beautiful colours, so skillfully blended, to create lovely backgrounds for our Couture Creations Intricutz dies of shells and turtles.

Kaleidacolour Ombre inkpads were a perfect match for the brayer technique used to create the light to dark colour combination to highlight the matching feather embellishments. All subtly finished with the new Poppy Crafts ombre jewels. What a great match!

Yes, it’s winter.  But the silver lining is that it just gives us an excuse to look for indoor projects – so lots more time for card making and papercrafts!

For silver lining inspirations see our silver papers in the SHOP - What’s New page.

You know I can't pick just one!
