Knight in Shining Armor Card


Happy beginning of Fall!

Thank you for joining me today. I have created a mixed media card showcasing the Ornate Oval Frame. I really enjoyed creating each element of this card and found this sentiment humorous!


My stamped image was coloured using Spectrum Noir pens and placed in the Ornate Oval Frame. I used Gesso and a stipple brush to create a textured look, then painted it with Distress Paint in Pewter. Added paper flowers and tinfoil balls for embellishments. 

On the left side of the card, I adhered two hinges inked with Pewter Distress Stain. The sentiment was printed for a computer and matted with tinfoil and black distressed cardstock.

Enjoy the Ride Card


Hello & Happy September!

I am back on the blog today, to share my card using the awesome Retro Bike. I absolutely love altering the Chipboard pieces. It allows you to make each piece special and colour coordinated to each project.


For the Retro Bike, I used True Blue Stickles on the bike frame and Brushed Pewter Distress Stain on the spokes & basket. I applied Black Enamel to the tires, chain, pedal, seat and handle bars. Add a tucked stamped sentiment that worked perfectly!


I used white Paper Roses and coloured them using Glimmer Mist and Brushed Pewter Distress Spray. I added a little True Blue Stickles to the edges of the blue dyed roses.

For the Gears, I heat embossed using silver embossing powder and versamark.
