Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

April 01, 2014

Fancy that ... Back to pink !!

Hi Everybody,

Well after the change to darker colored cards over the last few days here I am back to full circle again with .... Pink.

And this one is very pretty with lots of flowers, ribbons and pearls.

I have created  a Gilded birdcage and added flowers to it... and the silver foiled card is from Hunkydory

The sentiment is from Crafters Companion  and is from the Sentimentals  range

I used silver gilding flakes and there is a tutorial to show you how I did it.






The dies I used are listed below but the Birdcage one in the list is not the one I used in  the tutorial. That was one I bought at the craft shows and before Spellbinders brought out theirs.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts along with the button in the centre of the bow.  They have their usual sparkle from Glitter magic

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  19. Oh Christina, I knew you couldn't stay away from the pastels. The card is beautiful. I so enjoyed your video, had never though of using the sticky back paper with the flakes, I guess you learn something new everyday. The card in the video is pretty also. Thanks so much for sharing all of your artist talent.

    Hugs,

  20. Beautiful card. Looking forward to the video. Would love to have a go at gilding. Finding it reassuring that other followers haven't tried it yet! Thought it was just me with a long list of techniques to try! Thank you for your tutorials, Christina. Jan

  22. I've never seen a card that you have made that I don't like -they're all fab. but must admit- the pink and girly ones are my favourites. Keep up the good work!
    You deserved your trip to see Torvill and Dean -I saw them last year - Fantastic.
