Easter

Good afternoon everyone
I've been busy packing today as I'm going to Spain for a week
tomorrow, I need some sunshine, I'll try and bring some back with me.
However in between packing I have managed to squeeze a card in.
First of all I die cut an egg shape  and used a stencil with texture paste for the flourish. 
I then popped a few pearls  to add more interest.
The dotty card is from Anna Marie Designs. I've made  all the flowers from Foamiran, and yes I 
know I am obsessed with the stuff. Check out the fabulous range in the Crafty Enjoyments shop
they have loads of colours available at a very favourable price.

Anniversary

Good evening everyone
Had a very busy day today looking after my three adorable Granddaughters.
I took them to the National Forest Adventure Farm in Burton on Trent
and they had a ball, even helping to feed three week old lambs.

So with that in mind I haven't had time to make a card today so I'm sharing
one of my favourite cards from a while ago.
This is an 8 x 8 card and I've used a heart wreath stamp by Chloe Endean that I have stamped in
VersaMark ink and embossed with metallic silver embossing powder.
Then I stamped the same heart agai in Versamark onto white vellum and embossed with
Wow Sparkling Snow embossing powder. I carefully cut each flower out 
and layered onto the silver heart. Finally I added crystal gems to the centre of the flowers.
I did exactly the same with the border strip.
Finally I added a pink satin ribbon and sentiment to finish.
Hope you like and thanks for stopping by...

Easter Egg

Good morning everyone
As Easter is not too far away I thought I would share an Easter card today.
The beautiful paper is so ornate that it didn't need much embellishment but I 
couldn't resist this gorgeous chipboard Easter egg from Crafty Enjoyments. Check out their
fabulous offer below. I glued it onto pink card so that it would stand out more and added some tiny pearls to the delicate flowers on the egg.
 I have made the flowers with Foamiran and dusted them with crushed ice and added
some frosted berries.

Easter

Good afternoon everyone
I've had these beautiful Anna Griffin Papers in my stash for absolutely
ages and couldn't  bring myself to use them as they are just so pretty.
So I decided to make an Easter card with them.
I've made the flowers with Foamiran and coloured them with Versa Magic ink just on
the edges and dusted them with Viva Decor Eiskristall.

Hope you like and thanks for stopping by.

Good Morning everyone
I must say I'm really please with how this has turned out. I love the
pretty rose papers, these are by Lemoncraft and are called 'House of Roses', I bought the 6 x 6 pad as the 12 x12 are double sided and sometimes I can't bear to cut int them.
I distressed the edges of the paper and added a couple of lace cut outs.
The flowers I've made from Foamiran and coloured them with Tsukineko Versa Magic ink in 'Pink Petunia'. I've added a rose glass cabochon to the centre chipboard doily.

I hope you like and thanks for stopping by.

Have a great weekend

Easter Basket

Hi everyone
Back today with another Easter card using the fabulous Easter basket chipboard from Crafty Enjoyments.
I've used a purple and turquoise colour combo, the purple paper is from
Galeria Papieru WET PAINT 111, also from Crafty Enjoyments. I've layered up a couple of die cut circles that I've shabbied up a little, and I popped a few pearls for decoration on the eggs in the basket. 
I've made the flowers using Foamiran and as usual dusted them with crushed ice.

Hi everyone
For today's card I have used a yellow and white colour combo using papers from 
Galeria Papieru WET PAINT 11 paper pad.
The rectangle is Memory Box 'Eliana Background' die and it's one of my favourites.
I've handmade the flowers using Foamiran and I've coloured them
with Antique Linen, Scattered Straw and Fossilized Amber distress inks, and now 
my fingers look as though I've smoked 1000 ciggies.
