Rachel's Cards and Crafts

Hi all Well this weeks challenge over on My Time To Craft is to make an easel card. I must say the DT have made a great lot of cards so why not pop over and check them out. On for my card, I have used my Debbi Moore Art Deco Galaxy CD for this one. Just love this image. I have used the decoupage sheet which I have layered up using Collall Glue Gel from Crafter’s Companion . This is matted onto some glitter card. Papers are from the cd. I have also printed one of the design sheets and created an embellishment for the bottom section of the card. The ribbon strips on the design sheet I have mounted onto gold mirror card and attached these onto the main section before adding my main image. The flowers are from Hobby Craft and I have sprayed these with gold spray and sparkle from Crafter’s Companion . Finally I have added gold pearls and platinum stickles for added glitz. Thanks for looking and I hope you stop by the My Time To Craft Challenge

Hi all this card I have made for my Cousin’s Daughter’s 3rd Birthday. I coloured this image back in February when we met up with the Girls From our Crafter’s Companion FB Group. I was really pleased with my colouring and it looks good on the card too. I’m getting there with my shading techniques. The colouring medium I have used is my Spectrum Noir Pens I just love these pens they are so easy to use!! I have used papers from the 1st Humprey CD from Crafter’s Companion . The Humprey’s Corner Range from Crafter’s Companion is just so cute!!! Thanks for stopping by again Rachel

Hi all as you may have been aware from a previous post I was chosen to join the wonderful DT along at My Time to Craft. I am so grateful to have been given this position and will be inspired to create many much needed cards for my family and friends as well as those to sell.  After having been notified on Sunday I had been given this position I got straight onto making my first DT card before going out for my last night shift. This is the card I have made.  I have made this card for an order I had. The customer wanted a Mother's Day card and she wanted a butterfly and floral theme. The brief for the challenge this time was perfect for this card. I have used backing papers and embelishments from the Crafter's Companion Strawberry Kisses CD. The stamped image is from Dimension Forth and I have coloured this with spectrum noir pens which was stamped onto neenah card stock. Matts are coordinations from the brights section. I have added Tim Holtz distress ink to t
