11th August, 2016 , Saturated Canary Card

Hi, good morning,  I am up bright and early today, hubby is fast asleep. I really enjoy this time of day to myself, it is amazing what things can get done.  Today I have a Saturated Canary card to show you.  It is ages since I did one. It was a digital download, on my old computer and I don't have a clue where it has gone, that's why I don't care much for digi images, much prefer a good old stamp !  Fortunately I did a few of this one so at least I can still reincarnate her.

Again, coloured with Copics, I made the flower using a Spellbinders die, scrunched whilst damp and the edges given a touch of blue.  Small rolled roses with a pearl bead popped in the middle.  There are a lot of dies used on this card. A Honeycomb die, Lovely View die Butterfly border and a new purchase Butterfly banner.  I kept the colours very pastel for this card.

         You can just see in the right hand corner the new three butterflies on a banner, love it.

              Thank you for taking a peep at my cards, always appreciated, enjoy your day xxx

9th August, 2016, A Magnolia Tilda Card

Hello lovely crafters, I hope that you have all had an amazing weekend.  I have just returned from a week away and had a very restful time. Today I have another Magnolia Tilda card to show you that has been done in pinks using the lovely Maja Design card.

The large flower has been hand made and distressed with white Gesso as have the leaves and the butterfly. The lace ribbon has been scrunched up whilst damp and rubbed into a diluted Tim Holtz distress ink, Pickled Raspberry.  I have used Copics to colour Tilda.

                           
                                                        A closer peep at the flower.

                                               Thank you for stopping by, take care, xx

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
