Chic.....

I've another 'fashion' card for you today. Fot this card I stuck with a very simple colour pallete- various shades of pink & black. I cut the model & dressed her in a pink/gingham dress & hairband. I embossed white card for the main panels and matted onto pink card. I used a border punch for the edgings and added deep pink ribbon & a layered flower. I cut the words from white card which I embossed AFTER cutting and shadowed them with pink card. I cut the 'chic' plaque from white card with a pink base. To finish I added pink pearls to the front of the dress & across the stop.

Young Love.....

First of all I'd like to thank Enfys over at Going Buggy for her lovely comment on yesterday's post.. Thanks Enfys, you won't regret buying Forever Young.. it's FAB!
I made this one before the Style card of yesterday's post.It's an easel card again in a lovely pink & pale green colourway. I cut the scalloped frame from pale pink cardstock and adhered a piece of green floral paper from Papermania's Honey & Hugs collection. I cut the image from pink glittercard with a pale green shadow. I added ribbon, a bow & layered flower and a gemstone swirl or two. I cut the scalloped oval from white cardstock with a pale green shadow and cut the LOVE sentiment from glittercard. This was adhered to the 'stop' over green ribbon with addition of more gem swirls.

You've got style!....

Yipee!!! I got my new Forever Young cart yesterday and I can't tell you how FAB it is! It's chocca block with lovely silhouette models, clothes, perfume bottles,tags & frames, and absolutely beautiful 3-D bags that would make great party favours for a girls birthday party. For this card I cut a card base from white card and layered pink & white embossed cardstock and patterned paper. I lined the card with pink paper to show through the holes around the edge. I added a punched border, ribbon & a layered flower. I cut the 'model' from black card and the dress from patterned paper. I added some plum coloured flat backed pearls for jewellery and a glitter card belt. I cut the 'style' sentiment from glittercard with a blue shadow and added 'you've got' with rub-ons.

Anniversary wishes..part deux!

I made another two cards that are almost the same as the one that I posted yesterday...2 different versions of the same card. I made one more feminine for obvious reasons..just added a bow and flowers, and a slightly different layout for the sentiment. I LOVE these cards ..they are so cute but not overtly soppy!

Anniversary wishes.....

It was our 20th wedding anniversary yesterday and this is the card that I gave to my hubby. I wanted something dfifferent and I think that I got it! The card is predominately white, with a flash of colour. The white panel was embossed with a Fiskars texture plate and matted onto blue pearlescent cardstock from DCWV. I cut a panel from the Papermania Honey & Hugs paper and an extra set of owls. I adhered the owls to some card and then cut them out and adhered them onto the corresponding owls with foam pads. I cut out the '20' and the sentiments.. the sentiments are flat and the 20 raised. I punched some small hearts and added glitter to the white parts of the image to finish.

Best dressed.....

How about this for a teen card? When I saw the icons on the cart I thought that they were so girly and wanted to make a teen card with them...so here it is! I embossed a piece of white card with a swiss dots embossing folder and matted it onto pink cardstock. I cut a smaller mat from patterned paper by Papermania (Honey & Hugs Collection) added a smaller piece for contrast and a ribbon bow with layered flower. I cut the outfit and accessories from cardstock scraps (I embossed the pink frock) then assembled them and added them to the smaller panel. I positioned the outfit slightly off the panel for added dimension. I cut the sentiment from blue card matted onto pink (as was the inside sentiment), adhered it with foam pads and added some heart-shaped gems & glitter to finish.

Je t'aime...always

With Valentine's day creeping ever closer, this card would, I think, suit that day or even an anniversary card....or just to tell someone that you love them! The papers I used are from the All Loved Up collection from Dovecraft and are not blatantly valentiney (??) but they suit! I chose a red polka dotted paper for the background and a dark red heart print piece for the punched border. I edged it with a MS broderie anglaise punch and added some self-adhesive paper lace. I embossed a square of white card with tiny hearts and mounted it onto a scalloped square which was adhered with foam pads to the card base. I cut the heart from dark red glitter paper and adhered it to an identical heart cut from card to give it stability. I backed the heart with Papermania spotted glittered vellum and adheted it to the square with foam pads,I wrapped a piece of red grosgrain ribbon around the bottom corner of the square and added a bow and layered flower with a couple of paper tendrils. I cut the sentiment from red card and added red Stickles, punched some tiny red hearts to adorn the corners of the square and added gemstone swirls to the punched border to finish. I added another punced border and paper lace piece to the inside along with athe 'always' sentiment and some more punched hearts.
