A Coffee and Cream Mother's Day Card

Good morning, This is a pretty Mothering Sunday card that I have done, in shades of coffee and cream.  The doily die is a new addition to my never ending collection, it is a Marianne die, so very pretty, love it. The flowers are a Spellbinder daisy die, you can layer up as many as you wish to get the effect that you desire. Here I have done three layers and popped a pearl bead in the middle.

  A side  view of my card. I used the same cardstock for the inside which is part of my stash.

 

Hope you like the card, thank for taking a peep, take care xxx

A Shabby Chic Style Card.

Hi ! everyone, Not much time just lately, there is so much to do and so little time.  I have done a pretty Shabby Chic style card, always my favourite to do.  I distressed the edges of the card and added a touch of white paste.  The rolled daisies are from Spellbinders, hardly used them as they got to the bottom of my flower dies, but loving how they turned out.  A few pretty pink hand made flowers , die cut leaves and two memory Box die cut Madera Corners......done  !!

 

Hope you like my card....must dash...take care  xxx

A Shabby Chic Wedding Card

Today I would like to show you a pretty Shabby Chic card that I have made for a friend who has a wedding coming up soon. I loved making this card. I used the stunning ' My Wedding ' scrapbook paper pad by Zaneta Nawrot, .  The paper pretty much does it all as it is so beautiful

I did an easel style card, which I love to do. I added a fancy tag to match the card which slips between the ' easel '  so that a message can be written. 

The border was die cut and embossed using the same card.  The die for this is from Heartfelt Creations, Italiana . I added some pretty white lace across the top and bottom that had pearls, just perfect for the look that I wanted.

A Celibration Card, On Your Special Day.

Welcome to my blog at the beginning of the New Year. I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday. I wish you health and happiness for 2016.
Today I would like to show you a pretty card that I made during the holidays. I so wanted some very pale pastel background card but had none in my stash, so I embossed white card and then touched up the roses here and there really gently with my Copic pens, was very pleased with the results. I added an elegant oval from Spellbinders, hand made pink roses and lots of die cut leaves, which I kept white.

23rd December 2015 A Saturated Canary Card

 

Hi everyone , today my card is one made from Saturated Canary Download  Not my most friendly type of image as not being computer literate I struggle, they disappear into cyber space. This one has been missing for ages !  Bought a new lap top.....oh dear !  Anyway, along with some others they have been found !  So enjoyed doing this card. The pretty paper lace border is a Joanna Sheen die and I am loving the pretty little leaf sprays. Saw them on a card, tracked them down they are by Cheery Lynn.  I made the flowers from a Heartfelt creation die, used a pale turquoise spray.

Below is a photo of the inside of the card, I used cardstock from Lemoncraft for this card.

 

A Birthday Card

 Hi everyone. Today I am showing you a pretty card that I have made using the very lovely Heartfelt Creations flower dies. This one is the Arianna Blooms. I die cut them, used a pink stain , and popped a sparkly jewel in the middle of each one.

The card stock that I have used is Maja Design and have layered using a Spellbinder die, Radiant Rectangles.

 The leaves are a Sue Wilson die, and the larger green rose leaves is a Doohickey  die, one of my favourites, used time and time again.

 

I am hoping that this photograph will come out ok, as I think there are gremlins in my computer at the moment, my preview shows the photo, them on my blog......disappears ...strange !

Thank you for stopping by, take care, happy crafting xxx

Hello everyone, today I am showing you a pretty magnolia Card that I did a couple of weeks ago, so enjoyed making this card.  Tilda was coloured  with Copics, always my favourite. Have tried other techniques but always fall back to my tried and tested colouring pens.

 

The flower is a Doohickey die, Doily flower, sprayed with a touch of pink and a little brown distressing on the edges of the petals, a white rose popped in the middle.  Just love this ribbon, silver, lacy and sparkly
