27th January 2019, a onochrome Wedding Card Topper.

Hi good morning.  I am up bright and early, well not so bright as the rain pounding on my bedroom window kept waking me up. But we need the rain to fill up our reservoirs which have still not been replenished after the wonderful hot Summer last year.

Today I have a pretty circular wedding card topper to show you. the lovely bride is a down load from a CD purchased many years ago , work done by a lady called Christine Haworth.  The peony flowers are a Doohickey die. I did them in white and added just a touch of grey to the outer petals so they would tie in with the pretty picture.

I popped large and small flat back pearls into the centre of each flower,

Have a lovely day,  xx

12th Janaury, 2019 A Little Bit of Cheating.

Hi , today I have a card topper to show you using an already printed image from the Hobby House. Love these printed images as they are so pretty and ready to go.  Most annoying though when cards & toppers that are often listed for sale and they state that they are hand made, but...…. do not say that they are using these pre-printed images. Naughty  !   All my work states what I use and more often a stamped image and coloured with Copics.  If using a pre-purchased one, I say so.

The flowers are all hand made with Foamiran except for the little white bunched stamens.

A closer peep at the flowers

I do struggle a tad making these flowers with Foamiran, but getting better ! ( hopefully )

Thank you for stopping by, have a super weekend, xxx

6th January 2019 Another filigree Hinged Card.

Good morning and a very Happy New Year to all in 2019.  I have done another hinged filigree card using my Spellbinder dies. I just have to think of another way to use the Emmeline die. Probably die cut , then cut out......so watch this space.

Here is my filigree hinged card with hand made roses.

The roses were made with the Spellbinder circular rose die using the three different sizes.

I added the pretty dried gypsophilia to add to the Shabby chic style.

A closer peep of the roses.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope that you like my work, take care xx
