March Inspiration post for SLSLines

Here's another inspiration piece for you...

I have used Book Lover digital Stamp coloured with Promarkers.

I used nesting ovals to cut an embossed frame to surround her:

I often make ATCs and then feature them on larger cards.

I made this Bookworm ATC recently with a view to teaming it up with this super SLS image.

As you can see I used the same DP on this ATC to mat the square white card blank:

The 3 dimensional book embellishment I picked up in Abu Dhabi

and has been waiting a suitable occasion to be used!

It will not be long before you see the next 'New Releases'

but just to remind you of the good things you can find at SLSLines

this image was released in February...

Goth Girl Easter Stamp

This is my make using her - coloured with Promarkers and many layers of a DP from

Mr DIY Summer Bloom Paper Pack.

New from Crafting from The Heart - Challenge #49

A new Challenge starts at Crafting From the Heart today - as always Anything Goes!

We are sponsored by the fabulous Sassy Srudio Designs

who have kindly offered a prize of 4 digi images to the winner.

I have made two cards for your inspiration today:

Firstly using Sassy Studios St Patrick's Day

This is a simple twisted easel card using DP, shamrock and buttons from my stash.

I distressed the different elements with TH Shabby Shutters

and coloured the image with a mixture of Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens.

The front:

I printed these words from an old Irish poem on my computer...

My second card uses Butterfly Effie Portrait

A simple card again using DP from my stash and Antique Linen distress ink.

I extended the butterflies on the image with paper butterflies, cut using SU Beautiful wings - a little embossing folder that I have had for years and is almost falling apart from use!!

I coloured this image with Spectrum Noir pens - a new acquisition _ I am amazed at how that pinky colour stands out...

Happy Crafting and do join in the Challenge!
