Summer Fun ...

I am still clutching onto Summer with my shaped card today and the theme this week 

at Passion for Promarkers

as chosen by the lovely Sue is 'Embossing Dry or Heat!

I have gone for both, one layer has been dry embossed using

Co'redinations White Wash card, there is the Frantage which in this case looks

like sand and finally the black on the view finders have been heat embossed using

a basic clear embossing powder to give the look of film.

I have used papers, Tilda, butterflies, charm, corner, web, dew drops,

twine & flowers.  The view finders were cut on the Silhouette along with all the layering.

The base card shape was cut using Go Create die.  Postcard stamps.

Completely hand stitched as always.

Well if you popped by my blog yesterday I mentioned it was my Daughters 16th Birthday

and this is the card I made for her special day.

Thank you for all our birthday wishes.

She loves the SC images and they are perfect for teenagers too!

Purchased this digi before Christmas when I first saw it especially for her 16th.

Now I can use it more, just wanted my Daughter to have it first!

This one is called 'Secrets' and I have only printed the girls and replaced

the bunting in the middle with my own.

It was a pretty difficult card to photograph but this is the front and

below is the inside.

This is a full length picture of how the card is displayed.

Plenty of stitching for this one, 10 pieces in total but she is worth it!

I have used papers, flowers, fence, charms, cheesecloth, distress ink, Frantage,

twine, ribbon & pearls.

The clouds, birds including the bird cage, matting & layering, tree

and finally the bunting were all cut on my fabulous Silhouette.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge -
