Show cards.

Hello all my lovely blog family

Thank you for all your kind comments yesterday as always and I will answer them individually today. It is amazing how many people like a pink patterned paper but not really a bright pink on its own just as plain cardstock isn't it, I myself am not a bright pink person but |I love vintage and shabby pinks and baby pink too but not the cerise colours yet I love the Damask paper I used on some of the samples which is in bright pink hmm I'm an odd one.

Well I finally got round to playing back the shows from Sunday and gosh that top made me look chunky pheww lol well more chunky I should say that and standing to one side all the time trying to keep weight off the bad ankle. But I really had lots of fun however I must stop saying yea yea yea all the time in my North London accent oh dear ... I know we never like to watch ourselves but I did smile at some of the funnies in the afternoon show.

Anyway I have another couple of cards today to show so here we go with the 1ST.

 I chose this Thank you card as I always want to say that to all you lovely lot out there who takes time to check the blog and leave lovely kind messages and emails in to the shows , I am so lucky to have you all with me and always appreciate them all.
I chose a yellow and fine black pattern from the Damask Delight paper pad and used that on a black mat to set my colours I added that onto a double matt of coconut white card with foam in between.

You can see I also used one of the couture creations embossing folders for the back ground with a little inking with Adirondack Butterscotch also included in the ink packs. These inks are so pigmented but are dye based so  are very easy to blend or paint with or use with any tool you can think of really as they react with water just like distress inks.

Another angle to show all the mats and of course a yellow seem binding bow with pearls and more pearls haha.

I like this shot and always seem to take one on this angle as it really does give a view of every part of the card I think (or maybe I just like it haha).

Ok for card number two...

I thought I would put this one on as you saw me demo it and then you have a few pictures to work from if you choose to have a go or do a variation with whatever stamps you have similar of course.

Again I chose the gorgeous butterfly paper from the Pad and cut out just a quarter of one page and of course you have 2 of each design and they are all double sided so you can do your turn backs etc so easily too.

Here is a close up of the papillon stamps from Just Rite of course that were on the show and the Vintage labels three dies also Just Rite too. Just like the other card I mounted the paper onto a creamy milk coloured card before wrapping a ribbon around and giving it a think black mat then onto a double white mat with the top one pierced for added effect.

I coloured one of the butterflies in the pink tones of Adirondack on the show and the other I left white for the bow with some pearls strings of course.
You all watched me stamp out the Papillon word stamp if you saw the shows just for a little feature of interest also at the bottom of the card too.

Here again is another long view so you can see all as explained above in the long shot.

Hope you liked today's twofer and you have a lovely Friday whatever you are doing , I am so pleased it has cooled down here a Little after all last nights thunder and lightning storms, I must say it smelled so fresh and cool with all the windows open in the night even though I didn't sleep ( whats new about that my friends hey lol)

See you all tomorrow for more show cards . Lots of crafty hugs to you all.

Love always

Kim
