Tutorials Main List

Greeting Card, ca 1900.Image via Wikipedia
When I first started out with card making a couple of years ago, I marvelled at the beautiful and creative handmade cards that people would regularly create, and I started to think there was more to card making then just cutting up and sticking down pices of coloured paper with greetings I printed out on my computer.

And so began my journey into the wonderful and incredibly jouyful world of papercrafting, rubber stamping and card making.

Spring and distressed looks.


I am absolutely loving my Tim holtz distress inks, they are absolutely versatile and give amazing distressed effects to even the simplest of cards.

Can you see the hidden rabbit? I love this topper, and I wanted the rabbit to look shy :)

Multi embossed grasses in black and silver, with a dash of peeled paint distress inks complete the look. I also misted the topper with Glimmer mists for a delicate shimmer.

Hope you like this card, A glimpse of the spring to come!!

I've entered this card in the following challenges.
  1. Quirky crafts Spring garden challenge

Till next time,
