Mo Manning Image

Hi,
I'm really enjoying using Mo Mannings digi images lately, so I would like to do a quick share with you of my latest commissioned card.

 

 

The recipient is an animal lover so I thought this image called Coexist was just perfect. I have to say that the background paper was not as bright as the picture shows but hey, my camera and I are not the best of friends, try as I might I couldn't get it any better, sorry.

 

I've shown a couple of close ups here for some details...

 

 







The key started out being silver but I changed it by pressing it in to my Versamark ink pad and sprinkling with gold embossing powder, heat set and voila, one gold key :o) chuffed. This is also the first time I have used an 8 x 8 card blank- in the past I have avoided them because I felt a bit daunted by the expanse of blank card to start with but I enjoyed filling it with the layers. I will probably be entering this card in to some challenges but will post the details later as I must finish this post now, -

 I'm off to the NEC in Birmingham tonight for my bi-annual pilgrimage to the Hobbycraft show and I still have to make a list of crafty stuff that I want to hunt down tomorrow.

Love this show - I'm like a kid in a sweet shop.

See you all soon,

Lorraine 



21 Today

Hi, a quick share today of this stylish 21st birthday card made for a customer. The image is from the Fabulous Fashions CD Rom by Katy Sue Designs and is decoupaged and embellished with glossy accents and stickles....

 

 

I'd like to enter this card in to the challenge at Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes.

Thank you for visiting today,

See you all soon,

Lorraine





21 Again !...

...I wish, lol.
My 21st Birthday has long since passed, but these two cards are going to be for my future Son-in-Law.  He's turning 21 soon and I was asked to make them by other family members, that's a total of four cards now that I have made for this birthday and I am rapidly running out of different ideas. They were both created entirely with the 'My Craft Studio' software and printed onto photo paper.

I have matted each layer on to black cardstock for definition and die cut the numbers with an MFT Die-namics die, then heated clear embossing powder to make them shine.
I hope he likes them.

Well I must go now, I have a hungry family waiting to be fed.

Happy Crafting
Lorraine
