28th May 2019 Lilac again

Hi, good morning.  I am up bright and early again but certainly not down to any sun shining through the bedroom curtains.  Another typical cloudy rainy day again. Such a shame as it is the school holidays and it would have been extra nice to have lovely weather so the children could get out and about.

I seem to be always drawn to lilac and turquoises in my colouring for Foamiran flowers. So again another card topper featuring lilac flowers.

I used Pan Pastels to colour the flowers as I found that the two colours easily blended into each other

A closer peep at the flowers.

I added some white organza ribbon, pretty die cuts and a lovely embossed background.

Thanks for looking at my work, have a lovely day xx

24th May 2019. A Whimsy Fairy Card.

Good morning !  Such a beautiful day today, sun is shining, skies are blue...perfect !  I would like to show you a pretty fairy card using a Whimsy stamp.  I kept seeing these lovely stamps and took forever to track some down and like most crafters, got them and with one thing and another took ages to use them. So here is my card, coloured of course with my favourite Copics.

The large pink flower was in my stash, made ages ago. A simple die cut layered flower, painted pink then covered in glass glitter.

 A closer peep at the flower.

I die cut the fancy corners and embossed them in white and whilst still hot added just a touch of blue and did a bit of re-heating to make it set on top of the white.

Here is the inside of the card done to compliment the front and you can see clearer the embossed corners. The butterfly was fussy cut from some card stock from my stash.

Hope you enjoy this card, thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day xx

13th May 2019 Shabby Chic Mr & Mrs. Wedding Topper

Hi, Just returned from an amazing Florida Disney World holiday . Beautiful sunshine, if not a little bit too hot on some days, but guess us Brits are not quite used to it.  Must say that it was lovely to return home, a holiday is lovely but your home is always the best place to be. After catching up on the holiday washing, well almost !  I have had time to do a bit of crafting. Nothing too challenging , quite simple and elegant. I did the colour coffee and cream with Foamiran flowers in a pale peach to match with the cardstock.

I used Tattered Lace Pin Dot squares, the largest, and embossed the other cream cardstock. The Mr & Mrs die is from ( I think ! ) Crafters Companion, I threw away the packaging ! 

The lace applique leaves are from my stash as are the large pearl stamens.

Just loving those lace leaves !

I used off white Foamiran and coloured the edges of the petals with oil pastels.

Thanks for taking a peep, take care, xx
