Time for a Spin

Hello, hello!

It's been months since my Mama Elephant set 'Around we Go' has seen ink but it's perfect for the cue word over at Casology this week, which is 'spin':






I've embossed the little ferris wheel in three different embossing powders and mounted it with dimensional tape on a navy background. It looks black doesn't it but I can assure you it's actually navy...trick of the light. (Or just rubbish photography skills.) The little enamel heart has been in my stash for years and as it has never been used, it means my card is eligible for Darnell's fabulous 6th NBUS challenge. That's never-before-used-schtuff, in case you've been sleeping under a rock somewhere. 

Well I'm off to apologise to my Mum for forgetting it's Mothers Day in the UK today. I do wish Australia and the UK would get their Mothers Days in sync..I've forgotten the UK one every year for 15 years!

Thanks for calling by,

Claire x

  8. Very cool embossing on your ferris wheel. I've never tried using three different colors, but I should because the effect is awesome. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.

  11. I saw this card in the winning gallery over at CASology, Claire, and came to congratulate you on the HM honor! While I'm here, I also want to thank you for playing in my NBUS Challenge #6 (I'm embarrassingly late in commenting, sorry!). I am so glad you were recognized for this beautiful, sparkly, and very tactile card design!! I just want to run my finger over it and I'll bet you've done that a time or two! Sometimes we are awed by our own cards that way and rightly so!! This is one of those cards!! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell
