Flutterbys

I just had to fit at least one quick card in today.  The theme of this one came from SCSC who asked us to use butterflies.  The vellum is covered in them and I have added two Anitas dimensions butterflies to give it a bit of wow factor.  

I have used silver peel off trim around the outer edge of the vellum and edged the inner piece with silver leaf pen.  I did use invisi dots on the vellum, but I also used brads just to be sure that the front wouldn't fall off.

Moving Along with the times asked us for more than one fold which is where the idea for the shape of the card came from.  Bizzy Becs Creatalicious Challenges asked us for two tone so that was the inspiration for the colour scheme.

Green Double Easel

I'm loving the easel variations that are cropping up all over the place.  Expect to see a few here over the next few weeks.

This one is a commission for a mothers day card.  Penny Black asked us to use green and Saturday Challenge asked us to do "Flowers for mum" so that formed the basis for this card.  The double fronts were done using a sketch from the Corrosive Challenge and Charisma cardz asked for an easel card.

The whole card is made from white card overlaid with green printed vellum.  To this I have added white lace, 3mm yellow ribbon and gems.  I have used two Penny Black stamps from different sets.  I liked the idea of the little mouse showering the ground  with flowers and having another little critter enjoying them.  I've dotted some glitter glue on the flowers and butterfly's for a little glitz and have also added a few gems.

I hope she likes this one.

Variation on a theme

I made a card this morning for my boss and was a bit frustrated that I couldn't do more with it as she doesn't like fuss and frills. To get over that I made another one like it :0)




I was able to do more with this one, but discovered that I really didn't need to add much more to make the card more effective. Don't get me wrong..... I like how the first card turned out, I just would have liked to have done more with it. I find making tonal or monochromatic cards very therapeutic, so I have tried to stick with two closely related colours for this one.



With this version I have added white card, vellum, brads and more gems. I have used one of my new digi stamps and edged the die cut in silver. I have added glitter to the wings for a bit of sparkle and used a fine gold gel pen on the jewellery she is wearing. I seem to have a thing about winged creatures at the moment as they keep turning up in my cards. I think that it is a very girly card so I will be entering it for the challenges at Simon Says and Stamp Something. Charisma Card Challenge asked us to use fairies which is what finalised my decision for which image to use.

I was going to do more with the center panel of the card, but it was starting to get a bit bulky and I was worried in case it needed to be sent in the post. I think that I wont use the brads in the center panel next time I make one of these.

I'm still trying to work out how to show a larger image when you click on the photos, so please bare with me on that.

Hugs to you all

Delicate

This card was inspired by the It's all white card that I made a few days ago.

I have used a white card blank, additional white card, which I embossed, baby pink organza ribbon, stick on pearls, printed vellum, Anitas dimension butterfly, a silver rose (in the center of the prima flowers) and a couple of gems. I have edged the poem and the vellum with my silver Krylon pen to make them pop a bit more.

I am going to enter this card for the challenge over at My time to craft who asked us to use roses in our project. I hope my tiny rose counts.

Fairy clear its Xmas

I have a busy day today, but I couldn't resist fitting in a quick card.

I had a quick play with some acetate, printed velum and some bits in my scrap box. I've also added a charm. (Can't seem to leave them alone at the moment). I think I used most of my favourite things on this card. Not bad for a 30 minute make.

Being a bit of a challenge addict, this card is for:

Papertake weekly who challenged us to make a Christmas card

Pollycraft who who challenged us to make something with a Christmas theme and

SCSC who challenged us to use Christmas trees as part of our design.
