Friends.....






I thought it was time to try something a little different.

For this card i used two colours, Coconut white and Rich Red.

I cut out the Rose garden striplet a couple of times and layered together. I used cosmic shimmer pva glue and coloured in the roses. I cut out the striplet in green and pieced the pieces back for the leaves. I mounted it onto a matt of rich red card.

For the next matt I embossed the white card using the knotted trellis embossing folder and mounted it on to a matching rich red matt. I made a further matt of white and red and mounted both layers. I stamped a sentiment and cut it out using the centre of the nobel dies

I added red gems to the corners of the top and base layer

Finished size 8.25 x 8.25 inches

Santa Scene





For this design i chose a simple black and white theme. I cut out the santa scene in black gloss card and mounted it over white card, that was covered in diamond sprinkles. For the next layer i cut the topper out of coconut white and cut a matching piece again in coconut white and covered this in diamond sprinlkles. For the topper i used black gloss card and mounted this over a piece of water colour card sprinkled with pixie powders to give the look of the northern lights sky.

I added a simple but large matt of black and white card

Finished size 6.75 x 8.25

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.....








Something we all need to do.....  A heart felt message to anyone & everyone


For this design i started by using Pixie Powders on watercolour card. I just love the results you get with these.

I cut the Scandinavian background out of a piece of black card leaving a border to frame the design. I cut the same size piece from the watercolour card and mounted the frame on top. From the remaining piece of background i cut out several camelia flowers and grouped them over the centre at the end of the pierced flag, I stamped the sentiments Believe in yourself..... and added two small flowers along the flag.

I mounted this onto a double mount of Blush and Black card and finished with large pearls in each corner.

Finished size 8.25 x 6.25 inches

I am Thankful ..... 

 

A very special person inspired this design....


For this design I used the Scandinavian collection of dies and Heather and blush foundation card stock,

The border and corner die was used to make the outside edge to frame the design. From this is sized the overall design, I added a thin black mat and then a blush and heather matt.

I used the same colour palette to create the centre piece, the die i used was the Copenhagen die and alternated the colours. I also added gems around the outside edge and on the centre piece and then added a bow to finish of the design.

Finished size 8 x 8 inch

Blue Scandinavia



For this background I used pixie powders, my new found favourite medium. For the frame i used the pierced rectangles and cut a frame out using Cobalt foundation cardstock. I cut the background slightly bigger than the frame and mounted it on to another piece of cobalt blue card, adding a crystal gem in each corner. Then added another mount in periwinkle cardstock.

In each corner of the frame i added a corner cut from the Austrian collection and added a large gem.

For the centre piece i used periwinkle and cobalt again and used the scandinavian Stockholm die, alternating the colours to show the beautiful design of this die. I added crystal to each periwinkle layer to add a little bit of bling.

Enjoy

Heart of Hearts






For this design i have used Teal, Coconut White and Duck Egg foundation card.

I cut four Art Deco Adornment in teal. I cut a piece of coconut white and mounted the adornments to it. I cut a slightly smaller piece in teal and mounted this in the centre. 

I cut out 4 charming hearts corners in duck egg and placed them in each corner of smaller teal square. 

I cut out a double layer of coconut white and teal card and mounted everything so far.

I stamped the Heart of Blossoms on to Coconut white and coloured the image in using Alcohol markers, I then cut out the finished image using the Heart of Hearts die and mounted into the centre of the design
