Commission card


This is a card I made for a commission. The brief was a card for a 35th birthday with a fashion theme. The colour was left up to me. One of my fave combos is hot pink & black so I went with it for this card. I hand cut a dress & stand from pink glitter paper (dress) & silver mirri (stand). There is a beautiful dress on the Wedding Solution cart but it has a very large skirt & I wanted the dress to be slinky! I added a blowsy bow to the waist & tiny black gems as straps & a necklace. I added polka dot paper, Doodlebug velvet paper scalloped frame, a layered flower and the sentiment cut from black & pink glitter paper. I also added a bit of bling to the frame! I added a computer generated insert.
Carts used:
Frame- Wild Card
Sentiment- Lyrical Letters (Loup De Lou font)

It's your day!



I haven't used George & Basic Shapes for ages so I decided to bring it out of mothballs & use it on this card! Poor George, he doesn't get used much these days with all the new yummy carts about! I used the Blueberry Hill paper again, covering the front of the card with one paper & a panel with another. The panel was edged with a Fiskars border punch. I added another smaller offset panel in cream which holds the sentiment. A satin ribbon & bow, a large flower,candy dots & glitter complete the card.
Cart used:
Sentiments- George & Basic Shapes
Thanks for taking a look!

I continued the circular theme of the paper on this card with the plaque on the front. The paper is from DCWV Spring Stack I cover the front of the card with 2 designs separated with a punched border. I added a satin ribbon & bow then adhered it to the front of the card. I cut a plaque consisting of a scalloped circle & 2 smaller circles, layered them up then added a sentiment & flowers. I also added some candy dots & bling. The sentiment was glittered. I also decorated the inside.

Carts used:

Scalloped circle- Graphically Speaking

This card was made with the Regency Collection by Papermania. I covered the front with one design, then made a panel edged with a punched border with another. I then added a smaller panel, slightly offset, to hold the sentiment. I placed this panel over a wine coloured velvet ribbon & bow. A large flower & 6 candy dots (little paper domes) were used for embellishment. I made a chipboard heart by cutting the heart shape 3 times- 2 in card & 1 in paper- then stuck them all together and sanded the edges to slightly distress them. I adhered the heart with a foam pad and put the rest of the sentiment beneath it. As usual I decorated the inside.Carts used:

Heart-George

Sentiments-Lyrical Letters (Capital font)

I also decorated the inside.
