90th Birthday

For this one I didn't have a lot of time, one & a half hours from request to delivery (and the next one Diamond Wedding)

For the background i used some pixie powders. I cut a piece of plum card slightly bigger than the French Background die. Once cut out i mounted one over the other.

I cut out some ivy and coloured with colour cloud. I cut out different coloured daisies, cornflowers and camellias and layered them together after adding pearls to the centre of each flower.

I used a 8 x 8 inch card and added a matt of Coconut white and plum card to finish off the design.

Hope you like it

I added a double matt and layer of Coconut White and Cobalt to frame the design.

Finished Design 7 x 7 inches

Merry Christmas

I know its early but thought it was time to add a few dare i say.... Christmas designs in.

Another Pixie powder background, with snowflake background die cut out of Black Gloss card, leaving a border around the edge and leaving the centre open to show the detail of the pixie  powders.

I mounted this on to a double mount of Blush and Black card. On the outer layer at the base of the design i stamped Merry Christmas from Johns Lockwoods stamp set.

I cut out santas sleigh from black gloss card and embossed it to show the detail of this die and mounted this over the centre.

Finished size 8.25 x 6.5 inches

A little bit different ...

I thought i try a colour combination i haven't tried before. Teal and Custard which i hope you like.

I used the Diagonal die lavish swirls die and cut out the top layer. I mounted this on to a matt of teal to show off the detail of the die. Using the same colour combination i used the Oslo die from the Scandinavian collection and cut out all the layers and made the centre piece to show all the beautiful detail.

Using the camelia die i cut out varying sizes and made a double flower and placed a pearl in the centre of each one and placed them each corner and one in the centre of the main focal piece to finish the design.

Finished size 7.5 x 9 inches

For the background i used Natural Rosewood and Rose Blush and shaded light to dark towards to outside rays. I die cut the ray of light die leaving a small border in Blush and mounted this over the colour cloud background. With some of the remaining background i cut out 5 small butterflies.

I mounted this on to Rich plum and them on to a double matt of blush and rich plum and added three small pearls to each corner on the outer matt.

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

Hope you like it

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

Hope you like it
