No designer backing papers...


We're keeping it really simple this week at My Time to Craft  - no fancy backing papers and not really many layers at all if any!  I find this really hard and tend to be a 'more is better' kinda gal rather than a 'less is more' person, but I quite enjoyed designing this simple card.
I used a Tonic die to cut out a fancy frame in the centre of a small card and added pearls to accentuate the frame (plus they masked the fact that the die had embossed circles in some parts and not in others). Good save hey?  The pearl background is formed by the inner of the card.
Then in the middle of the frame I added die cut leaves in cut from the pearl paper and a peel off butterfly attached to pearl paper and then painted in lilac a little.
All in all I'm pleased with this and may do more 'simple' cards.
Have a fun weekend.

A man card...

The challenge at Fab n funky is for a male birthday card so here is mine!  An easy peasy one using one topper from a Kanban sheet and added extras including die cuts by xcut and Spellbinders.  Gold peel offs complete the look.
Have a fabulous weekend.

Happy Valentine's Weekend...

Check this out - it's the card for my youngest grandson who I love so much!  Created using an old set of Crafter's Companion stamps and coloured using Promarkers.
I've highlighted the 'check this out' because our latest challenge at My Time to Craft is to use checks - could be gingham - could be tartan - so many possibilities.  Hope you will have time to both check out the fab creations by my team mates and to join in too.
Other challenges...

Have a fabulous weekend.
