My Ladies Cards...

Hi Everybody,

The picture does not do these cards the justice they deserve

Both are from my two ladies in the Card Class last week and in the class we used Acetate to create the front of the cards

I like to try something different each week and it seems to work for all of us.

This week Mary has gone for the more subdued option and Brenda has chosen the lovely blue for hers.

There is a Video Tutorial to show you how the card is made and it is not long ... Acetate Front Card Tutorial   It will take you through the steps we did and there are only slight differences even though the video was made a few years ago

On these cards we have used Wild Orchid Crafts  flowers  and some swirly diamante flourishes from Want2Scrap and both ladies went away happy with their makes

More tomorrow ...

Made for me ...

Hi Everybody,

This beautiful card was made especially for my by Paula Di Giovanni and sent to me all the way from Florida

Paula and I have never met but she is an avid reader of my blog and often leaves me lovely comments

She has also been one of my Friday Freebies winners

Paulas'  card is much prettier in the hand than the picture shows and I will add it to my "Keepsake" with the other cards that I have had.

I have had lots of cards from you ladies out there and each one is treasured.  But please have faith in your own abilities because most of the cards I have had have all said more or less the same thing and that is the lack of confidence you have in yourselves.

Each card I have received is beautiful and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to make and send them to me, and I am happy to show them to the world

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Printable Acetate ...

Hi Everybody,

This little card was created by using a digital image on printable Acetate and coloring with alcohol marker pens

The image is from  Polkadoodles  CD  Pretty Sweet and there are some lovely images on there either ready colored or for you to color your self

The printable Acetate is from  Crafters Companion   and the image is printed on to the rough side

I have colored mine with Spectrum Noir and then cut the shape out with Modern Stationery   from Spellbinders to create a frame around the flower

The   Sentiment  Five     has been cut and glued in place over the acetate

I have multi looped the ribbon around the card and the bows centre is from Wild Orchid Crafts 

The little tear drop pearls are from Want2Scrap  and come in two different sizes

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
