A Hannah Lynn Card

Hello and good morning. Today I am showing you a card that I made using a Hannah Lynn stamp. I have a number of these in my stash, but for some reason they get overlooked, and they are so pretty !
Who would just love pink hair ! Well this beautiful lady has now got it !  Pretty Cool !

Of course I coloured her using my favourite Copics, used a white gel pen to add the few white highlights in her hair.  The flower is hand made, a few daisy die cuts, sprayed and scrunched, left to dry and then layered.  I bought two new dies from La La land , Cherry Blossom and the half doily, so just had to use them. These dies cut like a dream , love using them.

 

Here's a closer peep at the flower with a sparkly gem in the middle.

At Last I have done a pretty Magnolia Tilda Card  !!

I so enjoyed making this card, using lots of pretty pinks, oh so girly....!  I used the Magnolia Doohickey Peony dies for the flowers and popped a pretty white pearl heart in the middles. The gorgeous butterfly is from La La Land dies and the doily in the background, edged with a touch of pink is from Marianne dies, part of the Anja Series. Get's used quite a lot.

 

 

Here's a closer peep at the pretty peony flowers. I have added two rolled roses with a pearl bead in the middle.  The leaves are a new addition , a Sue Wilson die, I think it's called quilled leaves.

 

 

I always try to show a peep at the inside of the card, so here it is, using the lovely doily die to write your message on. 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by, have a wonderful day, xx

Back to my lovely Shabby Chic again and roses


What a beautiful day it has been today, lots and lots of sunshine and comfortably warm. Today is a very special day for the ladies of Doncaster. Today is Ladies Day at the very famous St Leger races, the oldest flat race in the world.  The ladies always get very dressed up for this event and a hat is an absolute must.  I live near the racecourse so get to see quite a few passing by. I usually go, but not this year......baby sitting !  Ah well ,I will be there next year hopefully. Always have a bet, never know what I am betting on, but the name of the horse sounds good.

So today is a pretty romantic style, Shabby Chic with roses.  I used the always lovely Spellbinder dies to use on this card, Fleur de Elegance. My background card that you can just see peeping through is from Lemoncraft, another of my favourites !

 

I wanted quite a pale pink for the roses, so used white ones and misted just a little bit with a pink spray on some and a very light green and pink on the others. Was really pleased with the result.

I distress the edges of the rose leaves and scrunched them up a bit to give a little more natural look.

 

My lovely dried ivory gypsophila adds to the finishing touch.....romantic !
