Sympathy Card for my Aunt's family

Today I lost my lovely Aunt she died this morning surrounded by her loving family. It has been a hard few years as she suffered with Vascular Dementia. So though she was there in body often her mind was not with you. She is at peace now all the struggle is ended.

I used so many dies and two embossing folders. I wanted it to reflect something of my Aunt she loved lace,  the colour mauve and she liked to sing. She was a very lovely person.

 The detail on the heart is a Memory Box die.  All the other dies were Spellbinder dies.

This is the inside I often do inserts like this and I needed lots of space to write.

This is my Aunt she was a beautiful lady inside and out. She is at Peace now.

I hope you have a good week.  Hugs Jackie

Memory Box Owl Birthday Card

I was lucky enough to be give a stash of card that I raided for this card. The owl came from the Memory Box set Heart Owl Tree. I just used the owl and cut it out many times in lots of different card. I found some scripted paper in my stash and cut out the backgrounds for the owls. I ink with distress inks rusty hings and walnut stain. I tend to blend my inks to get the colour I want. I used red tape, pinflair gel glue and Aleene's turbo tacky glue to stick it all together. The card blank was made with a piece of A3 centura pearl card. The finished card is 8 x 8 inch. I have plans to make some smaller cards with this design.

Thanks for looking.

Wedding Anniversary Cards two different colourways.

The golden wedding anniversary card was a commission the other I made for my husband. I love the gold corner dies by Spellbinders they deboss as well as emboss and they cut out cleanly as they have a outer cutting die. The central die is from the Ornate Squares set also by Spellbinders. The sets go together well as they both feature piercing. All the card is centura pearl I just love the colours and the sheen.The golden wedding card has the center panel embossed through a mask I didn't do this with the blue one. I'm not sure which is better. The words and numbers are Britannia dies I really have stopped using peel offs since I discovered these dies.Finally it is all finished off with faded denim distress ink. I stuck it altogether with red sticky tape and Aleene's Turbo Tacky glue.

Thank you  for having a look at my cards.
