good morning crafty friends
welcome to my shares for today.
i have two personel celebrational cards to share for one of my close friends to celebrate the birth of their first grandson and the other for their son & daughter in law to celebrate the birth of their first baby, Harry John.
my images have been painted with distress ink and sadly my photos don't do the images much justice as i was in a rush to finish and post them off to their respective addresses.
on my first image i've gone a little grungy, my original idea was to create a shabby chic card and i was going to add frantage embossing powders but i'd added my designer paper to the card and heat embossing the frantage powder was a no go after sticking down papers to the card... so i added some distress mica spray as an alternative and i let it dry naturally, sadly you can't see the shimmer of the mica.
my second card, again i've gone for a grungy image with simple lay out and to complete the look i have masked the image with a cicle and coloured the outer edges with one of my distress ink pads and added a little ribbon to complete.
