Call Me

Hi everyone! It's Sandie here and today I would like to share a card I made for this month's theme "Best of British" This typically wouldn't be a colour combo I would use so I was definitely out of my comfort zone but nevertheless I am happy with how it turned out. 

I heat embossed the blue script background and trimmed it out, then tied some red/white bakers twine around it. before mounting it on 3D foam. I did the same thing for telephone box. As I had no coordinating red card I simply used my red embossing powder to make some for behind the sentiment. That too is mounted on 3D foam so this card has tons of dimension. 
Of course I can never finish a card without adding some pearls just for an extra touch of bling ;) 

Wow Products used: Powders -  Apple Red Ultra High and Superfine Lagoon Blue Glitz
Stamps -  Call Me Funky Border Strips
There is still plenty of time to enter this month's challenge. You can find all of the details HERE

Jubilee Tag

If you haven't enough to do or watch this Bank Holiday Weekend, how about getting crafty and making a commemorative card, scrapbook page or canvas featuring this suitably patriotic tag? All the elements are easily adapted to whatever sized page you're working on and use this month's theme colours. Read on for Neil's tips and techniques.

A wooden frame for Jubilee time

Hello Everyone!  As it´s Jubilee time everywere and we also do have a Jubilee theme for our challenge I also have a project fitting for this wonderfull occation. As you can see it´s a wooden board for photos.  I have used:
WOW! Embossing Powders in: Metalline dark blue Metallic Silver WC05 Metalline Red WG01 Metallic Brass WC03 WOW!Fab Folis in: Dark Blue RedBonding Powder WOW! Clear Stamp Sets: Call Me Funky Borders and Strips


I have created the telephone box by using fab foils in red on bonding powder. I just rub gentley over the foil and did not use my iron for getting this little shabby effect. 

On the edges of my wooden photoboard I was experimenting a little bit with using embossing powder and foil tougether. The effect is amazing as the powders and foils are melting tougether. It looks like a wave in the sea on a sunny day. :o)  You must try it too but don´t forget to use a sheet of backing paper between the powders/foils and your iron!!!
Have a crafty day! xx Bianca
