For my first card, I managed to use three stamps that I haven't used before. I have had them for ages, and they have sat neglected in my box of Christmas stash, gathering dust. They would qualify for my other Friday post, lol! They are a set of bauble stamps from Great Impressions, with the words 'Peace', 'Love' and 'Joy' on the baubles. I chose to stamp these on acetate, and cut three apertures out of my main card. I glittered the baubles, and stuck them into the apertures, and then covered the back with another layer of acetate, to keep the glitter nice and tidy, then added a layer of card, to tidy up the inside of my card.
My second card is a tri-fold card, made using a stamp from Elusive Images, stamped onto watercolour paper, and coloured with Polychromos pencils. I have placed it so that it can be seen through an aperture on the front of the card. I have added some flowers and leaves cut from Crealie dies.

Two great cards for inspiration this week - can't remember when I used aperture cards last but I must have some in my stash somewhere.
Hi there, gorgeous cards, I haven't used an aperture for ages, think I'll go rummage too. Thank you so much for sharing :0) xxx
Two great cards Judith. Love the colours on the first and colouring on the second - you are going great guns with those lovely new colouring pencils! Good inspiration for the versatility of aperture cards.

Both fab cards Judith, er ..... I bought those bauble stamps on an outing with Jo a couple of years ago at least and they remain ........ unused! What a shame because you have shown how lovely they are. Love those blues!
The second card is a stunner and as Elaine says yo are really getting to grips with your new pencils. The flowers look great too.

Both are beautiful projects Judith. I particularly love the house one - just gorgeous. I bought those stamps recently - must use them soon as they are gorgeous.
