Sentimental Sundays - Encouragement card

I've been feelin' rotten this week. On antibiotics from throat infection, additional ear ache, unmentionable yeasty visitors etc. Somehow I've managed to keep things moving on blog/DT work but I think it's finally catching up with me.

So when it was time to make the card for Sentimental Sundays Challenge, I just could not face any complicated colouring. Had a rummage through my old stamp folders and found those cute but very simple to colour stamps from Doodle Factory:

Here you go, clueless dragon and chubby knight. Hope it's just what you needed to make your Sunday complete!

I ran a piece of gold mirror card through with embossing folder, dabbed it randomly with Versamark pad and sprinkled with black sparkly embossing powder. Heat gun and voilà - grungy ornate background. The rest of papers are from DCWV Naturals pad.

The sentiment is a rub on from don't-remember-who-from and they're bloody lucky I don't. Rotten quality. Border punch EK Success. The only embellies are some tiny gold brads and couple of vintage buttons. Just snipped the backs off and stuck them on with the strongest glue I have (that stuff, I bloody swear by it!).

Copic colours:
C8/7/5/3/1/00, YR23, Y17, YR24, Y32, YR31, Y28, Y18, BG99, YG67, G85, YG17, YG13

Mojo Monday Week 79

As usual I loved the Mojo Monday sketch, they are so clean and stylish! Design Team had created some wonderful cards so I decided to have a go as well!

This was meant to be a very quick card as I was pretty tired and it was late but the paper-piecing took quite a bit longer than I anticipated.

Here's the result, looks pretty simple:

My feeble attempt at more masculine card :D

Materials used:
Papers: MM Paperie
Fiskars border punch
Half-pearls from Ebay
Stamps from Cornish Heritage Farms and Doodle Factory

Thanks for looking!
