Sparkly Spider Webs

I brought the web to life by using Black Diamond Stickles. A dimensional glue dot worked well for holding the 3D spider.

A Bejewelled Haunted House

I took this card "to another level" by cutting out a second house from another sheet of patterned paper and adhering it to the full piece of patterned paper with foam squares. For a stained glass window effect, I filled in the windows with Stickles.

Put a Flower on the Page

Walnut Stain Ink, wood grain embossed paper and kraft cardstock were intentionally used for a consistent theme. Punching the edge of the patterned grid paper made it realistic too.

"Planting" A Large Floral Image

I thought that the grid patterned paper grounded the large floral image. Stamping the image and the sentiment in the same colour of ink (which is also found in the patterned paper) pulls the elements of the card together.

A Statement Corner

I've had this corner stamp in my "to do" box, so I thought I should use it as planned. A statement corner is enhanced by a substantial ribbon and bow of the same colour. This Christmas card could be done in different colours for a card of another theme.

Lucky Ladybug

I also like ladybugs and since they are a symbol of good luck, I thought this a perfect image for such a card. I do have a ladybug stamp, but thought it a good idea to use this sticker I've had for a while. They say that stickers eventually lose their adhesiveness, so best to use them up. The green patterned paper seemed like the perfect background for the card design.

Double Up

For design balance, I chose 2 butterflies and a sentiment of similar sizes. Each butterfly was coloured with different Distress Inks. Once again, they were stamped in black, inked and cut out.
