My photo
A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

THANK YOU

Hi Everyone

Very late posting today as it has been one very busy day and evening  .. ..  but I was determined to still have a quick play.

Whenever I am having a play session or trying a new technique nine times out of ten it will end up as a teeny tiny card .. .. which for anyone new to my blog measures a whole 3.5 inches square.

This is what I ended up with:



This used:  

Image Stampendous! Cling Stamp "CRP119" Dragonfly Vine
Sentiment:  Digistamp Boutique Clear Stamp Set (sadly no longer trading)
Brushos
LuminArte Twinkling H2Os  "Iridescent Blue"
Crystal Glamour Dust
My Trusty Sewing Machine


I decided to have a little session with my Brushos tonight and instead of just adding the colour and misting with water I wet my card first, added the Brushos, misted with more water until they puddled a little and then swiped the colour across the card using a tissue.  I was quite pleased with the result and decided to carry on and turn it into a card by stamping onto it once dried with a heat gun.

What I am not so pleased with are my actual photographs.  The wings of my dragonfly are not how they look in real life .. .. .. they actually have a lovely pearlised blue sheen from the H2O's which twinkles with the Glamour Dust I have added.

So that is me for today .. .. playtime over!

A super little card and I can imagine the twinkle effect which sadly often doesn't show up in photos despite being wonderful when viewed for real. Have a good weekend although I fear we are in for a wet and windy time - all the more reason to stay in and play!!
