A little pic of a new venture . . . sweet trees.  These two have been made using a polystyrene sphere, to which I used white icing to stick the love hearts/mallows onto.  Lollypop stick, small white craft bucket, circle of card over florists oasis. . . finished off with a cello bag from Lakeland and a little bow.

Nice idea for Valentines Day, also for table decorations for birthdays/christening/wedding.  Colour co-ordinate for maximum effect.

Nitwitivity Christmas

 For this card I used the lovely Nitwitivity Collection - a commissioned Christmas card for a baby's first Christmas. 

 Trying to get a nice clear picture is very difficult as this card is gorgeous in real life but the pics don't do it justice.  The colours are a lovely golden yellow.  I've layered backing papers and decoupaged the lovely angel and star.  Adding greeting and sentiment elements.  I've used some lovely amber brads, palest green pearls and little gold dots of pebo paint and a tiny bow in same colour as the pearls.  The inside is finished to complement the front but forgot to photograph inside.

Close-up of angel with her halo in gold pebo paint and the sentiments with their tiny gold dots.
I've not entered a challenge for absolutely ages but Polkadoodles have a sketch which I've followed . . . but tweeked a little.  I'm really pleased with this card and hope the lady it's for is also.

A lovely card I made a little while ago as one of several samples.  The couple was a freebie from one of the sites I visit but cannot remember where.  I used some lovely lime green ribbon and tiny pearl beads to dress this card.   Glamour dust and diamante on the dress/image. Really pleased with the result.

 

 

 

Baby Frame

At long last, able to add pics to blog. This is a lovely project to make for a new baby.  Frames curtesy of Lisa at Ella's Designs.  I've made up 4 of the frames and linked them together to spell BABY. 

You can glitz up and add embellies as you wish.  I will be making up lots of these, especially with 2 new grandbabies due in the New Year.

Vintage Butterflies

A lovely shabby vintage card made up with elements from a cd by Debbie Moore.

I used clear embossing powder to make the butterflies pop off the card (after decoupaging them).  I aded some lovely turquoise blue ribbon and little silver charm to top left corner.

Flowersoft was added to ivy leaves, glossy accents here and there to give some texture.  Also glamour dust to the lettering.

Picture to right shows close up of embossed butterflies and flowersoft (though nicer in real life).   Pics do not do the card justice.

Forever Friends 8x8

Blogger is  being so  very slow uploading images that I get fed up waiting, so not posting as regularly as I can if blogger was quicker.

This is a commissioned card for a 21st, using Docrafts Forever Friends bp's and image.  I've used Spellbinders dies to cut border trim and circle embellies. 

I crinkled the patterned bp but sadly this doesn't show up on pic ..... gives a lovely texture.  Added Docrafts heart doilie, lovely punched butterflies, co-ordinating ribbon and little charms.

Burgundy Wedding

Not been posting regularly but have been busy card making..... one of my recent orders for a burgundy wedding card.  Created using Serif Craft Artist Professional.

Butterflies heat embossed to give a gorgeous rich sheen and enhanced colour.
