This is a special card that I made for Andrea - I really enjoyed doing this because Andrea has been really helpful and encouraging - and she is the reason why my crafting skills have improved and also who is to blame for getting me into stamping, and distress inks, and alcohol inks - where will you take me to next I wonder???!!!???
The borders I cut with the Spade Borderabilities.
I cut two different papers at once. From the top brown one I pushed out all the small pieces and....
added them to the main front DP to give a two tone effect for decorating the inside of the card.
The image, another from Chris Dark, I coloured with promarkers, die cut with the Label 4 die, inked the edges with 2 shades of distress ink and then triple embossed.
The mat is cut with the next size up Label 4 die out of silver mirror card. This I coloured with alcohol inks (Lettuce, Black and Mushroom) and then embosed with the Script folder.
The chipboard letter started out pale blue in colour, but with the same AI treatment this was easy to change. Then with a bit more triple embossing it looked the part. You'd never had guessed it was anything other - blue what blue?
Have a good Monday.

wow Ikki - your techniques are great and the mirri card looks sooo different with the alcohol ink on, I really need to try this. I haven't made a single card over the weekend - i've been faffing with more flowers.

Oh this is such a beautiful card Eileen and I love all the added details. I really must get my alcohol inks and mirri card out as it looks stunning.
I think I'll get you into the Cricut next!!! Or maybe peel offs again as I am going a bit peel off mad at the moment, just ask Ann!!
Thank you so much for this gorgeous card, have a fab week and see you soon.
I knew I liked it when I saw it last week! Lots of work in it Ikki!
Wow I admire your patience for sticking all the little brown pieces onto the DP. Great card. Jaqui x
Great card Eileen...that spellbinder border is perfect. Really love the effect of the triple embossing, something I must still try to do.
Really fab card Eileen, even better 'in the flesh'
