Friday Freebie 006

Friday Freebie 006

Hi Everybody,

This week the  Friday Freebie is created using the very delicate flowers from  Petal Lu

When I add the link before to Lucindas page she was happy to get lots of orders for her Petal Lu flowers.

The card is in a lovely shade of peach and I have used the Botanical Swirl  for the background.

I have added in some pearls around the label and the sentiment has been stamped in Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink and then clear embossed.

The ribbon was from my "Stash" and the pearls around the frame are from Want2Scrap

I have used fine glitter on the flowers from Glitter Magic

It is a very pretty card and it needs a new home so if you would like to win this one then leave me a comment.

You have a few days extra this week to leave me a comment as due to personal commitments I am unavailable. I have left scheduled posts.


I will give the winners name on Tuesday ...   once I am back at my PC

You will have 48 hours from Tuesday to send me an email ...  christina@card-making-magic.com ... and  claim it.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Lili of the Valley Rabbits...

Hi  Everybody,

A  little bit of  Spectrum Noir today and this cute image is from  Lili of the Valley.

The colors used are ...

Rabbits ...  TN1 TN2 TN3 IG1 IG2 PP1
Flowers     LV2  LV3 PP4 
Grass        DG2 CG1

The flowers are as always from  Wild Orchid Crafts and I have  picked out  lemon and lilac ones  for this corsage.

No  Hatpin today but the petals are sparkled with  Glitter Magic and it does make such a  difference to the look. 

The  lilac  ribbon has a silver edge to it and it is is from  Mei Flower  ...  I have added a little  pearl flower centre to it.

It's Friday again tomorrow and there is a real treat of a card up for grabs 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Yellow Delight ...

 Hi Everybody,

This shade of yellow is most definitely growing on me and this card sold very quickly in my Etsy Shop.

The flowers were already colored this time and they are from Wild Orchid Crafts

I have added die cut swirls behind them and studded them with Mother of Pearl  pearls from Want2Scrap 

The two ribbons are from my "Stash" and I have tied them together in a  bow and pushed a gold colored Hatpin into the knot.

I have created the frame around the sentiment from Grand Decorative Ovals and plain ovals.

The sentiment is from JustRite Stampers but you will be able to get it from Ebay or Amazon a lot cheaper.

Into the flower corsage I have added in some gold colored beads and I am going to make a video tutorial on how I have done them ... coming soon.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

More in Red ...

Hi Everybody,

For those that like the darker colors and in particular red here is another card along the same lines.

Some of you have told me that you save the red for Valentines or Christmas themed cards but it is a color that can be used anytime for any occasion.

The sentiment on this card is from Crafters Companion and is one of the stamps in the Sheen Douglass range

It has been embossed in silver and decorated with the red flourishes from  Want2Scrap

This card has a red and crystal Hatpin pushed into the flowers and they are from   Wild Orchid Crafts

I have added the glitter from Glitter Magic to the petals just to add a little sparkle.

And as always it is much better in real life.

Thank You

Playtime ...

Hi Everybody,

So after the craft show on Saturday and the Give Away it has been playtime in my craft room for me.

Once again I have been using the Isopropyl Alcohol and my Spectrum Noir refills and my "Film Crew" has been put to work while I  worked

But it has a very strong smell so please work in a well ventilated area

The flowers are all white and from Wild Orchid Crafts and this time I have gone for the darker colors and I really do like the results.

The card is darker and more dramatic and the one I added to Etsy in these same shades sold straight away.

I have added in a  pearl Hatpin to this one as that seems to be what a lot of people like and it makes the card a little different from the norm.

The video will show you the colors used for each group of flowers but just play with whatever colors you have to hand ... and don't forget to color enough ribbon to complete your design.

I hope you enjoy the short tutorial and I hope you will give it a try for yourself.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
