I can now share my other piece of news with you...I am a runner up in the Cardmaker of the Year 2015 :)
This is one of my cards, I call it a perfect G&T as it combines some of my favourite papers - Graphic 45 - and one of my favourite die sets - Tonic Celtic Dreams!

This article is in Cardmaking & Papercraft, I believe there are also going to be articles in Papercraft Inspirations and Quick Cards Made Easy in the next couple of weeks.
Prizes!
To make this card:
Cut the largest basic circle from the Tonic Studios Celtic Dreams die set in white and blue card. Take the largest decorative die and cut into the white card, stick over the blue card, score in the centre and crease to form a rocker card base.
Do the same with the next size down from the same die set to create a base to add all of the elements and embellishment to.
Stick this onto the folded card with foam pads to give it some dimension.
Cut your chosen patterned paper (I’ve used Graphic 45 Come Away With Me) using a smaller circle die and stick it to the flat card.
Cut another smaller circle out of white card, cut in half so that you have a semi circle, glue one of them at the round edge only leaving the straight edge open to form a pocket for your tag to go into.
Emboss the pocket if desired to add interest.
Ink the edges of all your layers with a stamp pad, I’ve used Antique Linen distress ink.
Decorate as desired, I’ve used mostly Graphic 45 Come Away With Me along with other embellishments and die cuts from my stash.
Add lace and string pearls along the edge of the pocket for more detail.
Add a tag or small card to go in the pocket.
I'll share my other two cards in the coming days
Thank you for visiting :)
