Cards R Fun

You Are The Best!

Hello friends!

I was inspired to make this card after I got to see the latest issue of Ett Trykk.

And I think it's time for a man's card again here on the blog, so here's one.

"Of course I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice."

I used a minis stamp from Paper Artsy, colored it a bit with Distress Markers before I mounted it into a frame, that I made with one Frameabilities Scalloped Edge Frame.

The frame was cut out from a piece of Authentique paper, then I sponged over the frame with white Gesso before I removed the frame die to get the white dots. After that I added a layer clear rock candy crackle paint.

I adhered it to a vintage tag that I first had run through Tim Holtz Texture Fades embossing folder, and then sponged the surface with a few different distress inks.

I wrote the sentiment on my old typewriter, cut it out and adhered it together with other stuff from my stash.

I used the same papers for the inside. The crown is made with a Red Rubber Design stamp.

I think that´s about all. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a great summer!

Hugs, Birgit

I Count You Twice

Hi everybody!

Hope you have a great time and enjoy the summer.

Today´s card is made with this weeks sketch over at Card Crafter´s Circle.

The idea for this card, I've had a long time now, but for various reasons it has not been done until now.

I used papers from Authentique Paper, the Cherish collection. And tags, that I cut out from a Crate sheet of paper.

I started by stamping the push button background with a Crafty Individuals stamp in Faded Jeans Distress ink. Then I mounted the push buttons, and stitched it on a piece of fabric.
