Hi there crafty people, I hope today is a good one for you. I have been making cards over the weekend, nothing new there:0) I had to wait till today to take photographs though because the light here has been dire.LIM is 1year old! Many congratulations and thanks to Chrissie and Mandi's hard work and dedication, I have loved taking part in nearly all of the challenges.
This week we have a sketch to follow and mustn't alter it!!
This card is using a Paperbag studio stamp and Claudine Hellmuth's stamps Papertrey ink sentiment.
I used Pardo Jewellery Clay for the heart and a Crafty individuals stamp. I added a large die cut sentiment here and can't really decide if I prefer it with or without mmmmm, what d'you think?
It has a proper Swarovski gem, I love the intense sparkle they give and adhered with some Diamond glaze it has a little area of shine surrounding it. It's definitely the little things LOL
The consensus so far is split, some of you like the large sentiment and some aren't keen, LOL I appreciate all your help Thanks :0)
Thanks for visiting, Gay x

Ooh, excellent. Love the drippy drabby one x
Well let me see . . . I really like all three cards. But if you're asking about the sentiments on the second two . . . I reckon you should leave the "FOREVER" one on(it's COOOL!) but remove the stamped "love"! I know that's impossible . . . unless you cover it with gesso, or another clay heart or something!!!!

Gay you have outdone yourself again! The first card would be so perfect for a teen and I love the dribbling!
Fabulous cards, great design. Tracy x
Beautiful work as always! Valerie
I love your messy card!
I prefer...without the big sentiment.
These are both stunning Gay. The top one is my favourite.
To be honest Gay am not sure about card number 2, its difficult to tell in a photograph, but I adore the first one. Annette x
I like both cards but I especially like the heart cards and I prefer it without the large sentiment
I think....
I love the way you dribble! :D

Great cards again - I love the green & black combo.
Well done on your last showcase designs.

Gorgeous cards, I prefer the second one without the die cut sentiment. Personally (and what the heck do I know...lol)I think it's a tad big and detracts from the lovely heart. xxx
Love the colour in the first one but the second is Wow! (Prefer it without the big sentiment). xx
Love both cards but the dribbled card is my favourite and i think the big sentiment ,feel it links the one word to the rest of the card-it doesn't look so lonely if you know what I Hee he x
These are both terrific Gay
that second one is superb, I do like that kind of 'thrown together look' [lol] Im laughng, no offence
Thank you very much

Gay, your cards are always so unique! love both of them!! The heart card is so "artsy"....but I think it has more of an impact without the large die cut. When I dribble ink like that it just looks like I made a mess...yours looks fab!
I love how you experiment with different techniques and mediums Gay! Both cards are brilliant and I prefer the card without the large sentiment I think :0) yay for dribbling being back in vogue!

Oh my goodness Gay - these are absolutely stunning! I love the black and green of the first and what an iconic image! The second is great with or without the 'forever' - not very helpful I know! Vicky x
Gorgeous cards as always Gay. Love that girl with the pops of green, and I'd leave the forever on cards no.2! Jo x
You can do no wrong in my book so if you put it on ( forever ) then it must be right ! cool cards and love the dribbling !!!
Marie
The lime green & black card is fantastic. Of the 2 heart cards I prefer the card without the large sentiment.
I think your dribbling is fabulous Gay... both cards are cool but I love the second one!
Thanks so much

These are fabulous CAS cards! I really love the green on the first one - so striking - and she looks a little like me. LOL The paint on the second is so cool and I prefer the small 'love' without the forever die. ;)
