Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Faux Quilled Blooms and Leaves

Hi Everybody,

Another in blue and I promise I will use another color after this one.

But this blue card has caused many emails as a lot of you seem to like this shade as well.

It is from Limetree Crafts.  I buy their card from the craft shows and it is always good value for money...but the link to their website is not working at present

So there are more new dies used on this card and they are all from the Finishing Touches by Sue Wilson.

I have used  Faux  Quilled  Leaves,  Faux  Quilled Blooms  and  the  Fern  Trio and   I got all of these dies from   JGD Crafts

The ribbon is from   Mei Flower   and I have added ribbon loops with a large pearl and diamante centre which is from Wild Orchid Crafts

The pearls in the centre of each bloom are from Want2Scrap  and it makes for a very pretty card.

Book a Workshop 


Now  something I want to share with you ...  and that  is that  I have had  two  invitations  to run workshops using the  Spectrum Noir  Coloring System.

One is 13th September for JGD Crafts and they are based in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottingham  and that class is already fully booked.

The other is 4th October for Crafting 4pleasure and they are based in Bristol ... so if you live in the area and would like to attend the workshop then email  Bev at  craftypleasures@hotmail.co.uk   

There are some places still available so email now  to secure your place, bring your pens along  and I'll see you there

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  2. Good morning Christina,
    I love your beautiful card, the use of Sue's dies is amazing.
    Oh! how I wish I could attend your "colouring class".
    Someday maybe someday I will find you in Scotland and near enough to be able to experience your talents.
    Have a great day

  19. I just don't think I'll ever have the dies to do all this beautiful work. Most of them u can't find locally here near Sacramento CA USA. Sometimes I just improvise using what I gave but they aren't quite as nice as they could be with the same dies.

  20. I have to agree with all the comments. Lovely shade of blue.. and you've used the dies in a spectacular way.

  21. Hi Christina,
    Oh no, don't use another color...you still have many blues to go through...yes, blue is my favorite color. Nevertheless, if you must, you must. I love you card, and love, love, love, the Faux Quilled dies. I so wish I could attend your class, but I live across the pond and it is a wee bit far...isn't nice to see how much we all love you.
