Beautiful Butterflies

 Hi Everybody,

Most of us love adding a butterfly or two to our cards as they make it all seem very pretty and feminine. Plus it's a great way to hide that mucky fingerprint if needs be ... if you know what I mean , and I am sure that you do!!

So today I am using the Beautiful Butterflies from the Charming Channel Collection along with my favourite colour scheme of Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet and Mermaid Lagoon.

I blended these onto Centura Pearl Card with my brushes from Aldi from a lovely finish to my background panel.

The clever little trick with the ink pads gives a special finish to the sentiment and I used it for the verse on the inside too.

It doesn't harm the ink pads at all as they can easily be cleaned with a tissue.

Another lovely Channel Card that is ready to send and these new dies can help you to get the same results every time.

More tomorrow ...

Delightful Daisies

Hi Everybody,

So today I am showing you the Delightful Daisies which are from the brand new Charming Channels Collection

In this card I have used a Sunray Stencil to create the backdrop and I first used the Worn Lipstick with my brush.

I moved the stencil over slightly and then brushed it again with Scattered Straw and that gives another ray to add to the overall look.

The Daisy is from the stamp set and I added it to white card and coloured it in with the Inks and then cut it out with one of the Oval dies and added it to the card with foam tape .

For the inside I have added the verse onto some white card and then layered it with pink card. The edges have been dotted with pink pearls and the sentiment is from the stamps set also

I think this is a really pretty card and would be lovely for any occasion and will fit into a standard DL envelope.

The new range is very versatile and will work with other dies from other collections and with this one I have used the Oval Nesting Frames to help me get my focal point.

Charming Channels - Rambling Rose

 Hi Everybody,

The new collection of dies where launched on Fridays Facebook Live and they are a lovely addition to the range.

There are four different die sets Rambling Rose, Delightful Daisy, Stunning Snowdrop and Beautiful Butterflies.

Each die set has seven pieces to it and the channel die is quite large. There is a separate piece to create a back drop for the channel.

There is a lovely verse within the stamps sets that can be used either on the front of the inside of the card

This is my favourite set and to the rose I have added Glossy Accents and some diamante.

I will shop you the other sets over this week and they are a good buy if you but both sat amps and dies together.

More tomorrow ,,,
