Live, laugh, love

Hi everyone, thanks so much for stopping by. Today for my DT post with Craft Consortium I am sharing some more inspiration using the stunning Tell The Bees collection.

My card measures roughly 6 x 6 inches and I started by stamping my honeycomb stamp and heat embossed with gold tinsel embossing powder. I tattered my layers at the edges and added a little iced spruce distress ink to them and added a couple of fussy cut Bees.

I layered a gold band of glitter card onto my card with a lace overlay and my diecut frame along with my paper people.

My flowers were made using Cheery Lynn's Shasta Daisy die and some Prills in the centres which compliments the flowers on my paper.

Hi fellow bloggers on my DT card today for Cheery Lynn Designs I'm sharing some vintage inspiration with you.

My Perfume Bottle die I cut out twice in patterned paper, I coloured in my gold elements with a Promarker. For the main body of the bottle I shaped it on my Embossing Mat to give it some dimension and added small dots of Silicone Glue in between the layers, finishing with a small Cameo from my stash.

My main image on my card was stamped using a Crafty Individuals stamp and Archival Ink which I layered on to my card with a touch of lace and pretty vintage styled flowers adding some Flowersoft into the centres.

To add some extra detail onto my card I added stitching around my floral layer, tattering at the edges and inking. I sprayed the paper in the corner and crushed it in a concertina fashion layering a touch of cheesecloth, lace and my small Doily behind.

Making me Smile

Hi everyone, today I am sharing some more inspiration for my DT post with Cherish The Memory, using their exquisite Vintage Line, how  I adore these pretty papers and 3D Decoupage in this line, my card measures approx 6 inches square.

I started by matting and layering my first 2 layers which had been tattered at the edges and some distressed machine stitching added.

My middle layers were matted and layered with touches of cheesecloth using diecuts from my book adding my sentiment and hearts with Silicone Glue finishing with a shabby ribbon and a flower brad to the centre.

My green diecut framed image was also out of my book of die cuts. I layered it onto my Cheery Lynn die adding my butterflies which I curled their wings to give added dimension adding some black gems into their centres and a little black thread for their antennas. My flowers were die cut using a Spellbinders die and my same pink background paper adding Pearls to the centres.

Sneaky Peak for Create and Craft

Hi everyone,  thanks so much for once again stopping by my blog, I so appreciate your visits. Today for my DT post with Craft Consortium I am sharing a sneaky peak of my Lighthouse using the award winning Kori Kumi collection which will be shown on Create and Craft at 2pm on Friday the 26th May.

My Daughter managed to get my Lighthouse for me on my 'Virtual Shopping' trip to Michael's in the US, she FaceTimed me from the store and I went shopping from the comfort of my sitting room....how cool is that !

So I started off by adding some paint onto my Lighthouse and then covered the walls with pretty papers and added die cut windows from Cheery Lynn Designs.

Next I had fun adding lots of embellishments that come in the Kori Kumi Collection and my 3D Decoupage image.

Finally a picture of the back of my Lighthouse.
