Cheshire Cat ...

Hi Everybody,

My daughter wants to create a bedroom in her house, for her Grand daughter Isabella, on the theme of Alice in Wonderland.

She asked me if I would create some pictures that could be framed and added to the walls and of course I said "Yes"

This is the first and it is not yet framed ... but it is quite large.  I have used Spectrum Noir pens to colour the cat.

It is also good practise for my new class that is due with The Art Studio at the end of the month on colouirng with Spectrum Noir

The image itself is from the CD The Next Big Thing from Just Inklined     There are several Alice themed pictures on the CD that I will use to create the set.

The link will take you through to the website for the digital images  but I don't know if the CD is still available to purchase.

Once they are finished I will show you the finished group and just hope that Isabella will enjoy them as she grows up.

More tomorrow ...

White Filigree ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card features the Decorative Labels 8 again and the card is only 4 x 6 " when finished and so fits into a standard sized envelope.

This time it has been layered up with several different dies to give a really lacy feel to the design.

It is free standing Filigree Hinged Card in white and the inside has been lined with the same embossed card

The only colour on the card is from the cerise ribbon wrapped around the layers.

The sentiment is from  JustRite Stampers  and is one that can be mixed and matched to give you a saying for lots of occasions.

I have heat embossed it in silver and raised it up with foam pads.

The pearls are some of the Bulk Bling form Want2Scrap  and you get a lot in the 1/2 cup packet.

Decorative Labels 8

Hi Everybody,

Here I am ... back to pink again.

I just love this colour and make cards in pink whenever I get the chance.

This one is created from the Decorative Labels 8 in the Filigree Hinged Style

I have embossed and  layered  Labels 8 on top with foam pads ... after wrapping the braid around the layer.

Fleur Di Lis Rectangles have been add and I have used the two largest sizes.

The sentiment was free from a magazine I subscribe to and the single gemstone is from Want2Scrap

The braid was a bargain from the local haberdashery shop at just 10p a metre .... and being a frugal crafter I bought loads of it.

The pretty rosebuds are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and add a touch of delicacy to the card.

Peach and White

Hi Everybody,

Here is one of my favorite colour cards and this is a lovely peach colour that is so fresh.

The cards is an 8" square with lots of layers ... and it has a   Pierced Edge

The  Organza Ribbon is  from Mei Flower  and I have made it into a triple bow  with the Bow Maker   that is available to purchase in "My Shop"

The large pearl centre  covers  the knot and then  I have added into the mix  a Decorative Hatpin  ...  and they are also available in   My Shop

The flowers are from  Wild Orchid Crafts  and the corsage is a mixture of Carnations, Tulips, Roses, Cherry Blossom and some large Chrysanthemums.

The sentiment is from   Lili of the Valley  and it has been stamped and heat embossed in Silver .... and it has been die cut from Labels 20.  The matching "Bling" from  Want2Scrap   has been added

Pure White ...

Hi Everybody,

I love the tone on tone effect on cards and they look so classy.

This suits cards for any occasion and there is no need to worry about clashing colours schemes.

This is a Hinged card and I have used the 5 x 7 Matting basics layered with the Detailed Scallops to create the look.

The I added the second largest of the decorative Labels 8 to stamp the sentiment onto.... and I have heat embossed it in silver.

The lace and the organza ribbon are wrapped around the  base and a large bow added to the right.

The centre of the bow is covered with a large Dazzler and a few Diamante gemstones from Want2Scrap are added to the frame.

I love the verse that is on the card ... but I cannot remember where it is from.

More tomorrow ...
