30th July, 2016, A Shabby Chic Card using Pion Design papers

Hi everyone,  What a beautiful day !  I have been so very busy as it has been one of my grand daughters birthday, she has reached the age of 4 and is delightful.  She had a pony party, besides lots of things, they got to paint a real pony.  As you can imagine the pony was covered with lovely hand prints with sparkles.

Today I have a pretty Shabby Chic card to show you made using Pion papers, always a favourite, and as said before I am so lucky to live near a great craft shop that sells these delightful papers and card stock.

I hand made the canvas/burlap flowers, dyed it with Tim Holtz distress inks and layered it up with a bit of lace and a little bit of cheese cloth.  The centre is mulberry paper, dyed green and a pearl bead popped in the middle.  I love the large doily from Cheery Lyn , die cut just one, and cut it up to slide behind the cardstock.           

                            
                                    Here's a closer peep at the flower. Thank you for taking a peep  xxx

26th July 2016, Lovely Butterfly Topper.

Hello everyone, today I have a pretty butterfly card topper to show you.  The butterfly die is an old one from Cheery Lynn, I must admit that it has not been used very much as I thought it too large, however, am quite pleased with how this topper has turned out.

I actually embossed the butterfly, something I have not done for some time, I used a pretty pink embossing powder and added after a touch of iridescent powder on top, has given it a lovely shine.

The little roses were given a touch of pink spray and die cut leaves added.  Have put some real bling on the butterfly !  The card that I have used is from Maja Design.

        A closer peep at the butterfly.  Thank you for stopping by, must dash as am being taken out for afternoon tea and must make myself presentable.  have a lovely afternoon, I know I will  !!

A White on White Christmas Card Topper.

Hello everyone, hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather, it has been a long time coming !

I have a White on White Christmas card topper to show you today, yes I know  ! Christmas ! but all us crafters are always well in front. I have been quite surprised at how many I have seen for sale.

I used a lovely large layered lattice die for the background, by Tonic studios, the flowers are a Spellbinder die, poinsettia die.  The largest centre flower was given the bling treatment and covered in Twinkles glass glitter, so very sparkly, love it !  and a little white rose popped in the middle.
I guess it could be used for Christmas or a Winter Wedding.

Here's a closer peep at the large centre flower, the sparkle does not show up as I would like it to.

Hope you enjoy today's card, thank you for stopping by, enjoy your day and take care xxx

17th July, 2016 I've been making roses !

Hello everyone, what a beautiful day, probably the best that we have had this year, all day sunshine !

So, today I would like to show you some pretty cabbage style roses that I have been making. I have used a Tim Holtz alteration flower die, the one that cuts multiple layers, love it ! And this is the result.

Aren't they pretty !  I started by making them in pink using different distress inks so that there would be a variation in the colours. I have lots of uses for them. I have a pretty box that is crying out to be decorated.

Thank you for stopping by , have a wonderful day, take care  xxx

13th July, 2016, Tilda Again !

I must be in my Tilda zone at the moment, as I have done another Magnolia Tilda card, only this time  she has been coloured using Copics, always my favourite.                             

                 I hand made the large flower and popped a ivory pearl bead in the middle

                           All the dies used are Doo Hickey dies, except for the lacey little leaves.

                                                  Thank you for taking a peep, take care xx
