Designed this card a few weeks ago for one of my classes.
I was so pleased how it turned out, I think the colour scheme and the different textures make my heart sing (perhaps the music notes influenced me). There is a calm and balance to it.
Here is the tutorial.

I am looking forward to seeing what my fellow demonstrators around the world have created this week. We've chosen some new products from the upcoming catalogue. DId you know as a demonstrator we get to order some items before everyone else? Just one of the perks of signing up.
Do have a look at the other participants in this hop, I am always inspired by their work.
I have chosen the Come Sail Away suite to focus on. Now a little confession, I haven't bought the stamp set or dies for this suite, however I did purchase the Memories and More kit, the 12x12 papers. and the Baker's Twine.
There are so many elements in the Memories and More kit that I knew I'd have enogh to play with. I also had a couple of embellishments I received at Onstage last month.
Here is my card. I needed to create a special card for my Husband's Uncle, he and his wife like to go on cruises so I thought the nautical theme would be appropriate.
I used one of the laser cut cards from the kit and sponged Night of Navy ink round the edges of a square card base made from Crumb Cake card.
I then tore and ink distressed a card to make a layer behind the light house card.
In the corner I clustered some leaf punchies, various stickers from the pack, and the baker's twine that I had unraveled and removed the blue thread.
For my second project I created a chocolate box. The dimensions were copied from a gift a friend had given me. I love how a simple gift can be dressed up .
I used Balmy Blue card and decorated it with layers of Crumb Cake card, Memories and More card, and various punch outs and stickers.
Can you see those beautiful metal embellishments? I love the detail on them. Oh and by the way, the distressing on the edge of the card was done by carefully swiping my paper snips down the card.
