Using those Roses

Hi Everybody,

Here are the other cards I created using up the roses from last week, as it would have bee such a shame to waste them.

The card to the right is a DL done in lilac and green, and to me this is such a calming combination to use.

It works well for any occasion and would suit a male theme to ... minus the flowers.

The panel is made by running a peice of card through an embossing folder and then swiping the ink lightly over the top

I used several layers for this design and added the flowers with foam pads to give them height.

The sentiment are just some that I found on my desktop and they came in really handy for these cards.

This oval card was created from nesting dies with the layers done in different colours.

The pink layer was done by swiping Picked Raspberry ink pad around the edges of the oval  and layering it up once it was dry. 

The butterflies are cut from silver mirror card and added to parchment..

Hope you like ...

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Waste Not , Want Not

 Hi Everybody,  

While I was making the last Trellis card I stamped and coloured some of these flowers out to see which I preferred.

And of course once the video was complete I had all these beautiful images left over. 

So it was time to get busy and turn them into cards.

I wanted to make card of different shapes  to each other and so I decided on a square, a DL, an Oval and a small A6 and this is the result.

This is the 6x6 square card and for this I have used the embossing folder in the Altenew Craft Your Life Kit.

I cut the die cut up even more and add it with foam pads to the base.

I also cut an oval and added that over the base front

The sentiments is from an old set and the butterfly is cut from parchment and silver mirror card.

I have added pearls to the butterflies bodyline and dotted more around the card front.

This card is the A6 and I have dry embossed the card and added an embossed oval to the front. with foam pads.

The flowers have been left as is for this design and they have also been added with foam pads.

I used some pearl flourish that  found in my bit box  and cut this up to add in areas on the card front.

There is the silver butterfly again and I use these because they are so pretty and hide a multitude of sins if you make them !!!

I will add the other two tomorrow to complete my playtime

Hugs xx
