Create Flowers

Hi Everyone, now that the Christmas season is over I thought it would be nice to make a card filled with summery flowers for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs.

My card has lots of layers, tattering at the edges, adding Frantage Powders and tucking in doily accents. My inverted scalloped edge was made using a piece of waste paper and cutting out a scalloped square.

My Watering Can was painted with Pewter Distress Paint and adding some Archival Ink for shading. I then added a little Grass to the base and on the top of the Watering Can I shaded with a Pale Blue pen and added Glossy Accents for a watery look.

I cut out 2 of my Leafy Flourishes, placing one on my card, the other I cut into sections and placed into my design with my Flowers which have Flower Soft added to their centres.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Gypsy Elegance

Hi Everyone, thanks for all your lovely comments on my Spooky House, it was fab reading them all. Today I am sharing with you a DT card for Craft Consortium using their Gypsy Gypsy Paper pad.

My centre mat is one of the fab toppers you get in the Gypsy Gypsy pad, I stamped my lady on to this with Archival Ink and shaded with Distress Pens and a Watercolour brush. The papers took this technique so well and didn't blister or bubble in anyway.

My small wooden butterfly I added Distress Crackle Paint to and a handmade flower was added also using the Gypsy Gypsy paper pad.

Craft Consortium have another fab free giveaway on their Facebook page of Decoupage Papers, please pop over by putting their name into you FB search where you will find all the details.

Hope you enjoyed my post and thanks for stopping by today.

8x8 Nautical Themed Layout

Hi Everyone and welcome to my new followers.Thanks for all your get well wishes and lovely comments on my card last week, truly appreciated, especially when I am so far behind visiting your blogs. Today for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing with you an 8x8 Scrapbook Layout using a photograph of my Dad in the early days of his career in the Merchant Navy.

I started off by tearing out a section from an old map and adding some Distress Ink on to it to age it further and mounted it on to Cardstock which had been torn and distressed at the edges with my Distress tool.

I cut out my Ships Helm and added highlights with a Gold Pro marker.

Next I cut out my Anchor and highlighted the chain.

You will see in this photograph I layered it up twice for a shadow effect, cutting the die cut in half gave me the expansion I needed for this effect.

My frame was cut out and highlighted with some Gilding Wax, my Ships Helm Die was once again accented at the side of this frame.

I trimmed the photograph of my Dad and added a White Border to help make the White on his Cap and Shirt pop forward. I don't yet have the Word Die Dad, so I paper pieced from my words Daughter and Birthday to get the word Dad.

I now trimmed a lighter shade of Blue Cardstock to 7.5 inches square and placed my Deutschland Border around the perimeter, once cut I Distressed the edges and mounted on to White Cardstock of the same size to highlight the beauty of this die.

Finally layering all my Layout onto an 8x8 piece of Dark Blue Cardstock. I added the Fishtail Banners which were trimmed down and curled at the edges adding a little star in the centre.

I hope this Scrapbook layout has inspired you to get creative.

Now some exciting news for all the Cheery Lynn Design fans, we have a current DT call which you can check out HERE for all the details if you fancy becoming part of a fabulous team.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful weekend,

Vintage Layered Card

Click to Enlarge

Hi Everyone, and a warm welcome to my new followers.
For my DT card over at Cheery Lynn Designs this week I thought I would share a vintage style.

The first 2 layers glued onto my card were torn at the edges and some distress added to the edges and I placed my tiny doily onto both sides. My next layer, I die cut out the Horizon Square Frame, distressed the edges and added some creases onto the paper and placed my die cut heart.

My image I glued lace around and added to my Magic Mirror die which I had distressed the edges on and added some gilding wax too.

Layers of different leaves and flourishes were added which I cut out in different coordinating papers. My roses were die cut from white cardstock. I shaded the paper with my Copics before building my roses.
