Vibrant pinks & purples

Good Morning everyone.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes last week and all the unique & gorgeous handmade cards lots of my blog followers sent me, amazingly i got 40 handmade cards to celebrate my 40th birthday. 

Anyway while my mojo is still in slumber mode i finally got around to trying out my alcohol inks on Yupo paper - got alot to learn but liked this background enough to use it on a card, it is hot pinks and purples with a splash of cool peri and silver.  I also tried out a couple of the new pearlised alcohol inks. 


6x6 scalloped card base.  I cut my alcohol inked piece into a square and mounted onto silver mirror card and then my base card. I die cut the sentiment from silver card and mounted onto a white circle and then added to the card front.
From a blue patterned paper i die cut lots of layers of Sue Wilson cornflower dies and then built up 3 flowers, i added a blue gem to the centre.  Foliage die cut from silver mirror card and then i arranged them all on the cardfront. 

I think you can make out the silver in the background better at this angle. 


Close up of my flowers.  Each flower has at least 8 layers, best made with paper or thin card, once dry i then really fluffed up all the individual petals to give it a more natural cornflower look. 

Items Used:
Ranger Tim Holtz alcohol inks
Yupo paper
Sue Wilson cornflower die set
Foliage die
CraftsUk Ltd scalloped cardblank
Silver Mirror card

I got some lovely birthday presents but really had to share this totally amazing handmade felted hedgehog.


Thank you Kirsty, i love him

Hedgie from front on, he is very tactile.


and after not having any hedgehogs for months i suddenly found 5 different ones eating at various times last week which is lovely.


Parent & baby maybe?  Big one is almost double the size

and this is 3 siblings i think, you can just make out the 3rd one at the bottom of the step in the background sadly my camera battery died so only got this one photo, ive seen these 3 together most nights now..and thats not one of my cats - he's one of my madams friends😀 

Thank you all for stopping by once again and i hope you all have a wonderful week. Emma
