Another commissioned Card!

Sorry forgot to add this one previously

This was another commissioned card, I have just been so busy with decorating that I have not been posting, so sorry for no regular posts!

This was done with beautiful white pearlescent and again another large A4 card

I have used lots of die cuts from spellbinders and memory box my fav ones at the moment.

I have also used velvet card and hand glittered for that extra touch of luxury

Thanks for looking

Civil Partnership Card

As is it really getting into wedding season this is a commissioned card, I was asked to do it in just ivory and black with a hint of silver.

I have sweated over making this card as you know when you just about finish making it and an annoying mark appears out of no where!!!  so I had to re do it all again.  

I have used Ivory Linen and a matching Ivory box with black tissue paper, the flowers are all hand shaped and made, the embellishments are all hand made to well, stuck together!  The sentiment I have done on the PC with the requested text, finished with a ribbon, decorative pins, and diamontes.

This card took 7 sheets of card to make it is A4 in size it has so many layers on it I am worried whether it will remain standing! 

Thanks for looking

Birthdays & Butterflies

Morning all, this is my card to share today

I have finally had chance to play with my new Silhouette Cameo, it is fantastic! 

There is so many features the list is endless so so easy when you need a quick card.

I designed the letters then did a shadow of the letters to lay them on, the paper cut perfectly and then the mirror card well this cut like butter on a cut depth of 3 as this goes up to 10 so cutting super thick card will be no problem.

For the flourish I dotted around the lines with a pencil first then stuck the rhinestones one by one.

The flower was from the quickcutz library, I cut 3 flowers then shaped and layered them then added a beautiful rhinestone embellishment for an extra bit of bling.  My fav Colour pink ribbon although I have had to refrain from using my normal extra wide ribbon but I feel it would of drowned the card! 

Placed the flower on top and there you have a quick card.

Once I did the design studio work, I then popped over to publisher and added all the sentiment, the greeting inside and the signature on the back.

All Dressed In Ivory

Good Afternoon Bloggers, Thanks for dropping by to see my creations.

The Card today is for mothers day for a really special lady!.

This card was inspired by Becca a fantastic lady whoms creations are apsolutely delightful.

This was quite simple really, I have used a lovely Ivory linen card, the embossed 3 panels and cut them to a point added a lovely new spellbinders border from the persian accents, these are apsolutely stunning I am really going to have to go out and buy lots more of these. I have made the roses using a 6 petal punch and put in tiny leaves.

The rhinestone flourish was designed and made by me by hand and then stuck each one on individually, very time consuming!.  I have added the do crafts butterfly from the lovely punch and also added the lovely ribbon with silver embellishments on the ribbon bow.

Thats all for today

thanks for taking the time to ready my blog
