I have just treated myself to a Sizzix Eclips. I am a novice when it comes to this type of machine but with the help of <a href="http://www.docrafts.com/playingwithpaper">Sue [playingwithpaper] on the Docrafts</a> forum I am getting there. She has given me a lot of good pointers with Ecal so I think I need to purchase that as well. This is my very first card made with the new machine. White base card with backing paper from my stash. Snowflake border is a memory box die. Merry Christmas was cut with the Eclips and layered onto a white embossed layer and then a red layer. Plain and Simple but thats what I need right now.Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06836068840977796780noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6614435656832885490.post-88976475073518892912012-10-06T09:13:00.002+01:002012-10-06T09:13:56.555+01:00Ruby Anniversary<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

White base card with Sentiment Printed directly from the PC. I had this ribbon in my stash so I layered it onto white card and then blue card. The charm was bought at the Sincerely Yours Show in Edinburgh [along with a few others] and I have used elastic thread to hang it from and added a bow from my stash.<br />

Over at <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/">less is more</a> this week there is a sketch challenge and this is what I have come up with. I cut an A4 card to make a square card and then added the embossed square with a scalloped centre to which I have added a black card. The flowers are from £1 land with a brad from my stash. The happy birthday sentiment was donated to me.<br />

White base card with buttons and ribbons from my stash. I have used a Provocraft embossing border folder and edged it with my houghie board. The image is from DigiStamp Boutique 'Simply Baby Collection' and I have coloured it with a Pale Pink Promarker. I have used nesties to layer the image. I have no sentiment on this yet as the little girl has not been born yet but is due any day.<br />
