A Sports Themed Card.

Graphic 45 good Ol' Sport. I only have a few sheets of this paper as I didn't think I would use this collection much. Great for male cards though. 

Vintage Mermaid ATC

Graphic 45 by the sea Collection . I coloured the mermaid with perfect Pearls. It looks better in real the mica glistens on the mermaid. 

Book Page with a butterfly ATC

This is one of those cards I am not quite sure about and was tempted to throw out. It involved so much work I hope my swap partner likes it. The stamped image is also embossed with black powder and the daisy flower embossed with white and gold powder. The butterfly is painted with Tattered Angels glimmer glaze. The little flowers coloured with alcohol markers. 

Bella Italian BTC

These little Binder Trading Cards are so much fun to make. Hunting down graphics and papers to meet the challenge. I was excited to find the little PISA charm .

A Card representing where You live. - Card Making- swap a month

I did not sign up for this swap originally but a swapper who I had sent to before had missed out . I used a file from Silhouette online store to cut this cute paper pieced kangaroo on the cameo. . I attached it to a pyramid card so it would stand up. The flowers which I coated with crystal effects are an old Kaisercraft collection. The little Australia die I picked up on eBay has been a really useful little die when the need arises. Fabulous as I send overseas regularly. A flag sticker, some distress ink and he is off to live in the UK.

Adventure ATC

I used Kaisercraft Now Boarding for this ATC. Pushing the boundaries with it being landscape orientation and a bit of overhang at the top. It's not going to fit in a regular ATC binder pocket. Lucky my swap partner often adds overhang to hers. 

Patchwork Quilt Binder Trading card

This little double sided BTC is made from a gorgeous card and envelope I was sent. Perfect for this theme.
