I love to create cards and it seems people enjoy receiving them. You'll often find me amidst a stack of paper, glitter, stamps and inks playing with my supplies. If you would like to make an order, email me at cardsbycara AT hotmail DOT com

April 2016 Papertrey Blog Hop
This month's inspiration picture is very cool over on the Papertrey Blog hop... I took the concentric overlapping circles and used those as my jumping off point. I created some stencils with different size circles and used some makeup sponges (!!) and Avery Elle/Fresh ink for overlapping colours. What fun! I used shades of blues, teals and greens because they were calling to me from my wide array of inks. :) Here are the colours I used:
Avery Elle: Aquamarine, Sea Glass
Fresh Ink: Pool, Blue Sage, Sicilian Blue, Turquoise
A very simple card with an unusual layout in the corner on a piece of Kraft cardstock as my base. I used lots of foam tape behind to make sure it was tacked down properly and a Hugs die using a perfume packaging that I loved the colour of ... :) It is a divine scent that I love called Sì from Giorgio Armani. I just love it but only buy it when there is a special as it is not cheap ... At any rate, the packaging is this pale peachy pink that makes me think of the amazingly talented Debby Hughes ...
I layered multiple die cuts to make it more substantial and glued it on using my new favourite adhesive - Tombo Mono Aqua. Clear and fab!
A bit of clear Wink of Stella on the die cut and that's it! Well, I'm off to hop and take a look at everyone's wonderful creations. Happy hopping! :)
