The Ballerina ...

Hi Everybody,

Here is my offering this week for Spectrum Noir and isn't she just gorgeous.

She is from the Just Inklined CD  "The Next Big Thing"

But I do believe that the CD is no longer available to buy as they have others now on sale ... which I might add are just as good.

Colors used are very few ...
Skin                  FS2, FS3, TN2, CR1
Tutu/Tights        PP1, PP3, PP5
Crown               GB1 ...       and that is all I have used.

So no flowers and no "Bling" on this one just the coloring and matting and layering.

But I think she is wonderful just as she is.

More tomorrow ...

Soft Cream and Coffee ...

Hi Everybody,

I love this card and it is so much prettier in real life.  The cream card is Centura Pearl from Crafters Companion

I have teamed it with white for a really elegant look.

The wide satin ribbon has been tied in a large double bow and I have added the flowers to cover the knot.

The flowers are a beautiful mixture of coffee and cream Roses and I have sparkled them up with Glamour Dust.

The tiny pearls on the cross sections and those around the edge are from Want2Scrap.

It is a card that could be for any occasion and would make a wonderful  Wedding card.

The frame is created from the Rectangles in the same way as in the video.

The die may be difference but the method is much the same and makes a very pretty way to add those wonderful panels.

The one in the video is the   Quatrefoil Pattern   from Sunrise Crafts  and I love that die.

The list below are the dies I have used for todays card and they all mix and match well together.  In fact all the dies old or new styles will go with each other you just have to try them and see what you like.

But shop around for the best price you can get ... and keep your eyes peeled as new dies are coming onto the market all the time from lots of  different companies

More tomorrow ...

Turquoise Voile...

Hi Everybody,

Today I have used the turquoise Voile and the sheets are so fine and pretty.

The background I have used behind the voile is Centura Pearl Snow White and it looks lovely.

You can just see the sparkle in the flowers in the voile and placed on top are the flowers from  Wild  Orchid Crafts

The verse is from Clarity Stamp  and it has been heat embossed in silver.  And the pearl around it is matching Bling for Labels 23 from Want2Scrap

The panel along the left has been created with the Edgeabilities and this one is the Classic Triple Scallop

I have cut it three times in alternating colors and the turquoise is Centura Pearl from Crafters Companion

I bought die  from   Save On Hobbies   because the price is so good.

And I know that some of you wanted the Donnas Alpha when you saw me use it on a card a while ago and it was sold out .... well it will be back in this month and is a very versatile alphabet set to have.

More tomorrow ...

White Voile ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card features some of the pretty white Voile that I showed you a few days ago.

It is Roses with white and silver vine leaves around them and is much more elaborate in real life than the photo shows.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and they have been sparkle with Glamour Dust.... and around the petals I have added in some pearls.

The ribbon is a mix of Organza and white with a silver edge toit and both are from Mei Flower  ... then along the length of ribbon I have added a string of self adhesive pearls.

The ribbon centre has a Baby's Breath flower in place over the knot.

I shall be playing with another of the Voile sheets for tomorrows card ...

Peachy Friend ...

Hi Everybody,

This lovely shade of peach is one of my favorites.

It is made with the Hinged Card   style and following the same principal in the video that was added yesterday.

That video will now be permanently in the Tutorials Section on the blog  and it is the ...  Friendship Card

Wild Orchid Crafts  flowers grace the top of the card and are a mixture of Chrysanthemums and Roses.

I have used Diamante flourishes to enhance the flowers and it is from Want2Scrap

The organza ribbon is from Mei Flower and it makes beautiful bows to add to your cards.

The front panel and the inside have been embossed with the Regency Swirls folder from Crafters Companion

More tomorrow ...
