Slimline Card Set - Joanne Simons

Hello and welcome!  I hope you are well.

Today I am sharing a couple of cards I created.

I am really enjoying the whole slimline card craze at the moment and with the beautiful Dusty chippy they make creating a breeze!

These cards were super easy to do.  I simply layered some paper on a white card base and then laid some flowers onto the medallions #1.  All the chipboard I covered with distress oxide ink.  Before I adhered it to my card I tucked in some of the gingko biloba.  I finished it with a sweet sentiment from a of different word packs.

Here is a closer look at the card.

My second card I created in pretty much the same way. Instead this time I added  foliage 24 and one of the ATC frames #8.

Hello Dusty Attic fans and welcome!

Today I have a couple of cards to share with you.  Always good to have few put aside for when the occasion arises!

To start I covered the base of two 5 x 7 cards with some pretty patterned papers.  I inked around the edges to give it a bit of a vintage vibe.

I then collected the chipboard and covered it all with gesso first.

For my first card I used the beautiful birdcage.  I inked it in gold and then added some glittery embossing powder just in places not completely covered it.

I then clustered up some flowers and under those flowers I tucked under some of the new Mini Foliage which I covered with some green ink.

I snipped pieces from the Corner Flourish no. 5 and inked them blue before adding a light coat of gold glitter embossing powder.

I finished with the chipboard Happy Birthday sentiments.

For my second card I started by laying on the new Broken Bits no. 4 - Marakesh.  Oh my - these are just awesome for adding just a bit of something extra to your projects!  I added some dark brown ink.

I then laid the small Clockworks chipboard which I added some brown ink too and then stippled over the top with gesso.

On top of that I placed my pretty blossoms and tucked under a little piece of Gingko Biloba that I had left over from another project as well as more of the new Mini Foliage again inked green.

I finished off with the Happy Birthday chipboard sentiments.

Hello Dusty friends and welcome back!

I don't know about you, but I always like to have a couple of cards made up ready to go for when a birthday or an occasion creeps up on me.


Unfortunately I'm not always that organised and I found myself again needing a couple of cards and quick!

 So today I have a couple of cards to share with you
.

With a couple of beautiful chippy designs these cards needed very little else!  These were quick and super easy to make and still pack a bit of WOW too!

I have kept to my clean and simple style.

For my first card I used the beautiful Layered Garland. 

Before I adhered it to my white card base, I added just a little bit of blue distress ink.

I embossed both pieces with some gold embossing powder but on the top piece I added some blue Prima wax and some paint splashes.

Some pretty blossoms and my Happy Birthday sentiment which I just covered with some black ink.  I absolutely love this font!

Here is a closer look.

For my second card I used the Ornate Frame No. 1.  I covered this with some paint and then to give it a little sparkle, added some gold foil over the top in places.

I added some more pretty blossoms and also tucked in some foliage which I covered with distress ink.  Finished with the Happy Birthday sentiment.
