Birds and Bows 1

Hi,
Here's my post for today....
This is my take on one of the cards in the issue 27 of Tattered Lace magazine, using the free die that was included. I also used the papers  that came with it. I decided to do what we usually call an innie aperture...l loved working with the whites and lemons, quite refreshing.
Thanks for stopping by, and look forward to reading your comments.

Mum in Heart

This is today's post......
Something a little different, bookfolding, which l love to do for a nice change....
This is a new pattern that l have recently bought, and shows the word Mum within the heart, once finished l decorated with the red and white flowers and red ribbon and bow. The front and back was also covered with some lovely floral card, this also leaves the option to decorate more.
Thanks for dropping by and l would love you to leave your comments.

Flight of Butterflies

Here's my post for today....
This is my take on a card that was made recently at Berkeley Gardens, by Hazel Eaton.
I chose to use the shades of purple, starting with white card, ran through and embossed using the butterfly folder, then applied black soot onto the folder and ran through again, this gave the darker background, l then inked over the embossed area with Faded Lilac, and once dried used a little gilding wax to highlight....finished off by attaching the die cut butterfly.
I do hope you have enjoyed visiting my blog, please leave any comments, Thank You.

Balloons card

Hi, this is my chosen card for todays post......
This was made recently at a workshop at Sunrise Crafts, designed by Bhanu.....
The main card started off by folding as in a A5 portrait card and then folded the front in half again.
The backgrounds were used from on of Heartfelt Creations pads....the main image was made by using one of Poppy stencils, ran through to emboss and then coloured using distressed inks, taking care to not colour over each other, using paper to mask off. These were all then matt and layered to complete the card....Thanks for stopping by and l look forward to reading your comments.

Dragonfly card

Hi, here's my post for today....
For this one l chose one of Toni Arthurs digi-stamps, and decided to on the colours of black and white, l do love the simplicity of black and white. I printed out two of the designs so therefore had the spare dragonfly to decoupage. I used my Spectrum Noirs different shades of grey to colour the flowers and added pearls inside most of them. Coloured the dragonfly and decoupaged that. Matt and layered as shown in the photo and added the white card candy to finished off....a card for any occasion.
Many thanks for visiting my blog and please leave me your comments.
