LIM a whole year:0)

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.
 The next card was a bit of an experiment using Tattered Angels mists, dribbling is something I gave up a while ago but it seems it's back LOL

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

    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!!!!

    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

    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 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

    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!

    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. ;)
