Kenny K Birthday

Hello All, Well another day another card~!!

This is for my niece I hope she likes it!! I thought that this image is perfect for the girlie teenager and hope its not too revealing...  I just love these images they are so trendy especially for the latest generation!!

I started off with a 6 x 6 Card blank and have used the lovely my minds eye papers from this is from one of the huge pads, although I dont think you can see much of it... Lol...

The image is kenny k, I have edged it with a glorious stamp from the stempelglede grunge collection which I think finishes off the edges just right. I have threaded the gorgeous ribbon and also added some lovely guipure lace which I sewed onto the card with my sewing machine, I find this easier than glueing!! I have stitched around the edge, the black is very bold so I am not too sure about it but it seems to go together nicely.

The roses are from WOC and the other flowers are from the works shop which they do have in most town centres.  I have used a heart charm and chain, threaded decorative pins which i have made myself by adding the decorative cups.  

The sentiment is from lili of the valley I love those round stamps they cover so many occasions and are just fab.

That is all for today, if you have any questions please do get in touch, As I am still relatively new to blogging please do leave a comment it would be great to hear your comments.

Happy Crafting

Hugs

Another lovely LOTV

Good Afternoon Bloggers!!!!

I have been trying to get some of my christmas cards finished, it just seems to take me ages to do one card let alone 50 which really I need to do as a minimum.

I am not too sure on the colours on this card! As I am relatively new to crafting well around 18 months I am now loving all the decorative papers out there. But cant seem to bring myself to cut some of the up as they are too nice to use!!!

This paper is from the 'Christmas Joy' digi set from Bearly mine a fantastic range of digital backgrounds from a very clever lady. Its well worth having a look on her website they all have a vintage feel and have the lovely rough edged detail in the print which means you dont necessarily have to use the distress inks on the edges.

The ribbon is a Sheer 38mm organza ribbon which does have particuarly lovely shimmer to it although the camera has not picked this up. I have embellished it with loads of glitter around the edges and the doily, the flower is again one of the fab ones from the marianne range, I have used a metallic gold spacer for the centre which I have ordered lots and just waiting for them to arrive. The sentiments are from my stash, the corners are from the cuttlebug vintage set

I just need to get a little more confident with using colours and lots of different mats etc

Well happy crafting everyone

Hugs
