The aperture is cut with a Spellbinders nestie circle, and the coloured background is a larger circle inked with a combination of distress inks and Adirondac inks. The Lavinia birds were stamped in black Versafine and I did a bit of Frantage with a Cosmic Shimmer pink aurora on the blue one and a copper tinsle on the brown one, and added a sprinkle of glass glitter for bling. The dies are from the Die D-lites set from Create and Craft, but Eileen has done hers with Memory Box dies and you need to stick them firmly behind the aperture. Then it is just a case of matting and layering it all together. The extra decoration on the blue poppy card was a bit of a rescue job, I dropped the bottle of glue on it, but actually I really like the result!! Veronica from Vroncards was at the club on Sunday, and you might want to wander over and have a look at her blog http://vroncards.blogspot.co.uk.
Hope you like these two, and happy crafting!
Welcome to blogland Moira -well worth all the nagging!. The cards look just as good in the photos as they do in real life, it was a great afternoon despite the weather
