Happy Thursday!!
Another fresh start to the morning Up't North.. i've just done a lap of the garden to check on things.
I've been so inspired by the garden i would be completely lost without it. Between the garden and my craft room they are my happy places.

Venetian Masks - Masquerade Ball Cardmaking and Papercrafting 8x8 Kit - 24 Pages - Green Goddess
You can find the kit on the website here: https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/9ZiX3
This kit contains:
24 x beautiful pages of mages, toppers, sentiments, papers and a sheet of Fussy Cut Flowers

Here is the first card i made with the collection:

Supplies List for the Card:
Crafters Companion Card Blank - https://amzn.to/3z8SuNP
The background paper, fussy cut cream flower and fussy cut teal flower, the panel and the sentiment are from the kit - https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/9ZiX3
The cream and teal flowers were cut out of sheet 24 and layered up. All of the sheets were printed onto my favourite 160gsm printing paper, you can this here: https://amzn.to/47dgOuD
I find this a really nice weight to use for decoupaging flowers or flower / leaf forming
The gold wired bead strands pictured below can be found here: https://amzn.to/4dMuHlZ
(i have been using these a lot on my Christmas projects but they are perfect for any project that you want to add that bit of bling too)
I have been getting this mirror card and i am really pleased with it, it is perfect for matting and layering and a great price for a pack of 60 A4 Sheets - https://amzn.to/3z0YQyT


Hopefully you will be able to see all of the sparkle - i like to photograph the cards when the glitter glue is still wet so you can see it clearer. When it dries it goes lovely and soft on the page and defined lines mellow
This was created with stickles - the colours i used can be found here:
Green - https://amzn.to/474HJbW
Gold - https://amzn.to/3T471Bq
and a new one i tried for the first time:

The leaves are all from my Print, Cut and Form leaves and foliage sheets - you can find the category on the website here: https://shop.obyd.co.uk/collection/flower-former-and-foliage-sheets
The variegated ivy leaves - https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/zJHWx
These were printed onto vellum and cut out.. the vellum i used for this prints beautifully it is the nicest one i have used in a long time. You can find this here: https://amzn.to/3Xm7Pnu

I also used some of the Whimsie leaves - https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/qQr1i
and some holly leaves with the spikes cut off so they look like bay leaves - https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/aAhoc
The little dazzler gems are from Hobby Lobby (used in the corners of the card)
The stunning Large dazzler is from this mixed set - aren't these fab!!
I have been using these quite a bit lately.. i think they are a fantastic price for a pack of 50
I use these quite often for the centres of flowers and i always get asked where i get them from

I used my favourite tape pens for all of the matting and layering - https://amzn.to/4dmlTTM
and wet tacky glue to stick down the gems - https://amzn.to/4dnMyzr
My glue gun was used for the flowers and leaves and wired pearls
The next card i made was this very simple square card

Supplies List for the card above:
Hammered 300gsm square card blank - https://amzn.to/3MK75ml
The backing paper and sentiment are from the kit
I edged the backing paper with my mini green ink pad - https://amzn.to/4dZr5wI
The ribbon is from my friends wool shop - Crafts of Thirsk in the UK
The green pearl gems i have had ages.. these were from Sir Stampalot
