March Workshop Cards

Yep neglecting the blog AGAIN, but I have been working and crafting away, now the mojo is in full swing with the bright days and good weather. A bit of spring cleaning happening too, so hope my duracell batteries last for another long while ha ha!

So here are the cards we made in the March workshops. Links to products page has been updated for those of you looking for specific dies or other products..

A First Holy Communion card using new Leabilities Special Occasions 1 dies.
Distress inks used to colour the die cuts after shaping them - these are Tea Dye, Pumice Stone and Bundled Sage.
Details of Spellbinders labels dies are on the Products page of the blog.
Pewter and large white pearls are from Cottage Crafts in Gorey Wexford (details of website and shop directs are on the Where I Buy page).




The next card was using a Stamping Bella Image from their Uptown Girls range - so sassy, I LOVE LOVE LOVE these images!




Simple stamping nest using Mememto inks, applying pad to stamp and using daubers and a second colour from pad to dauber to stamp - easy and effective technique!
