So here are my latest purchases and I have already started to play.
I also bought the Marvelous Squares and the Venetian Accents and Motifs which are not pictured.
And as it has rained all day I have taken the opportunity to play to my hearts content ... and it has been lovely.
The first card I made was using the Marvelous Squares.
For this one I cut three frames using the second and third dies in the set.
They have only been added at the top and bottom of each frame with tiny spot of glue.
Then I have weaved through them a patterned strip.
I have used some white organza ribbon to make the bow and put a square Dazzler on the knot. The "Bling" is from Want2Scrap and trails out from the ribbon.
For the second I went mad with lots of butterflies from the Les Papillions set.
I cut the under layer in pastel coloured card and the filigree top layer in white.
I layered them up and glued them to the card just on the body line leaving the wings free to be curled.
There is Diamante along each body and a trail from each butterfly.
The sentiment is stamped onto the Marvelous Squares and I have threaded lilac ribbon through the edges. I made a ribbon Rose from some wider Organza Ribbon and added it the sentiment.
The background for both cards have been embossed to add texture.... and I think they both look very pretty.
More playtime tomorrow .... oh! how I love being retired.... it's the best job in the world
