Make it Monday #179

My first make it Monday!
Submitting my card with 20 minutes to go… lol.. better nearly late than not!

I die cut my hexagon cover plate and selected some hexagons to keep in so that only a partial amount would be embossed.

Once embossed I used my new distress ink blending tools to blend in some colours..
I used the new rainstones from my last PTI order and also die cut some gold foil card stock using the happy from the tipped-tops die

The link for the MIM tutorial is here.. love Laura's videos! 

Thanks for looking!

Cure for the Monday Blues

I made this card for the cure for the Monday Blues challenge…

I'm continuing with trying to make cards for challenges and to keep practicing.. 

I was inspired by the beautiful pastel colours in the inspiration photo and watercolored a background of pink and green.. I  found my one cherry stamp as an accent to the sentiment.. The tops of the cakes were covered with opal white liquid pearls… 

You can find the link for the challenge here

Birthday Cards

I made 2 birthday cards, one using PTI's set Irresistibly Ikat and one using my cute stamps. Still not happy with the photos I am taking (lack of light at night + no time) but these are a bit better than the first photos I put up on my blog about a year ago..
Ha.. i've been 'blogging' for over a year now and still no-one reads my blog.. But I can only blame myself as I don't comment on anyone's page or blog often enough!
Anyway...
