Botanical

This card is made with one of the Botanical papers and some of the new foiled Retro Daisies from Craftwork Cards.  Rather than using Candi in the centres of the flowers I added small punched circles.

Two of my Favourite Things

Botanical papers and Elegant Rectangles from Craftwork Cards!  The Elegant Rectangle is scored across the centre to form a card blank.

I perhaps should have said three of my favourite things because I use my scalloped oval punch (and my scalloped circle one too) from Stampin' Up on a lot of my cards.  I'm not a great lover of punches but these are superb.

Top Notch

Botanical again - this time on a Top Notch blank from Craftwork Cards.  I scanned this over a sheet of lime card to show the notches in the corner of the card.

This is another quick card - the scalloped circle is attached with foam pads for dimension.

Botanical Again

Just for a change I've used Botanical again - I think it is my all time favourite from Craftwork Cards.

It's a very simple card - you perhaps can't see from the image but the lime Scalloped Rectangle is attached to the card with foam pads.  I coloured the image with ProMarkers and even attempted a bit of shading on the petals!

Botanical

This card was made from a Ritzy lime Elegant Rectangle scored down the centre.  I attached the Notch tag so that the edge overhangs the spine of the card which makes it look like a file divider.

Thinking of You

I used two Ice White Elegant Rectangles from Craftwork Cards as the base of the card - scored vertically down the back one approx 2cm in from the left and stuck the two together using strong double sided tape.

Then I added a lime panel across the front of the cards and added a white panel to the Notch Tag.  Next I attached the tag to the card using foam pads,  added some Candi and finished the tag with an In Circle Message inside a punched scallop circle.

Finally I attached two blue flowers (from a Craftwork Cards Flower Store) with foam pads and put lime candi in their centres.

It's Your Birthday

I still haven't tired of the Botanical collection by Craftwork Cards - I think it may be my all time Craftwork Cards favourite!

I used a Top Notch card blank and added a panel of white Botanical paper.  Then I trimmed down on of the Colour Me panels, coloured the flower with ProMarkers and stuck it to a Ritzy lime Scalloped Rectangle.  I stuck an Oval Message to a punched scallop oval and used foam pads to attach it and the lime rectangle over the white panel.

Enjoy Your Birthday

This card was really quick to make.  I used two Ritzy lime Elegant Rectangles as the base card and added a panel of Botanical paper across the centre of the top one.  To join the two together I scored the back one vertically approx 2 cm in from the left hand edge and used strong double sided tape (to the left of the score line) to stick the two together.

I used Candi in the centre of some of the flowers and added glitter glue to it for a bit of sparkle!  Finally I used foam pads to attach an Oval Message on a puched scallop oval.

Best Wishes

This is another card made using a small square Back to Basics card blank from Craftwork Cards.  I scanned this card over a sheet of black card to show that the Notch Tag actually overhangs the spine of the card.

The card blank was covered in lime Botanical paper.  I added a panel of blue Botanical paper to the tag, attached Candi down the left hand edge and an In Circle Message inside a scalloped circle at the right hand edge.  The tag was then attached to the card using foam pads.

Birthday Wishes

This is another simple card, again on a small square Back to Basics blank from Craftwork Cards.  I cut two squares of Botanical paper and stuck them to diagonally opposite corners of the card.  Then I attached three Spiky Flowers using foam pads and added Candi to the centres.

As this card was so simple I also decorated the inside with  an Oval Message on an oval scalloped circle which was attached onto a small panel of Botanical paper using foam pads.

Happy Birthday Again

This is another very simple card.  I used a small square Back to Basics card blank from Craftwork Cards and added six strips of Botanical papers - 3 horizontally and 3 vertically - random widths and randomly spaced.  I then added a Retro Daisy (attached with foam pads) with a piece of Candi in the centre and a scalloped oval with an Oval Message in the centre (also attached with foam pads).

Happy Birthday

I used a small square Back to Basics card blank from Craftwork Cards as the base for this, covered the front with the blue paper and attached the panel of lime over the top.  Then I added three pieces of Candi to the centre of the flowers. 

Finally I added the scalloped oval and sentiment.

Monochrome Botanical

This is very similar to the card I posted yesterday but this one has a black and white theme.  Again the tag and scalloped circle are attached with foam pads.

The strip across the tag is cut from the packaging sheet of the Botanical paper pack!

Just Because

This is a very simple card but I think it is very striking.  I used an 8" by 8" square Ritzy Lime blank from Craftwork Cards as the base card.

The tag and scalloped circle are attached with foam pads to give dimension.  The strip of flowers across the tag is actually from the cover sheet of the pack of Botanical papers - the four designs in the pack are shown in a smaller format and you can use some of these if you trim away the wording!

Thinking of You

I used a Top Notch card blank from the Back to Basics range by Craftwork Cards for the base card.  I have actually scanned the finished card over a sheet of Ritzy Lime to show the notches in the corners of the card.

The blue text panel is attached with double sided tape and I used foam pads to attach the Scalloped Rectangle and the punched scallop oval.  This made the card a little more dimensional.

I used Lime Green, China Blue and Cornflower ProMarkers to colour the flower and then went over the top of the flower head with a Gelly Roll pen.

Just for a Change ...

This is made from a 148mm square Back to Basics card blank from Craftwork Cards.  The scalloped rectangle is attached with foam pads to add a little dimension.

I used  Cornflower and Lime Green ProMarkers to colour the image and then added a little extra sparkle with a Gelly Roll pen.

The Candi at the top of the card are one of the new releases from Craftwork Cards and are foiled with tiny white daisies.

Thank You

This is made with a 148mm by 148mm square Back to Basics card blank.

The notch tag and the scalloped circle are attached with foam pads to add dimension to the card.  The Candi is one of the new releases from Craftwork Cards and is foiled with tiny white daisies.

And again ...

I really like this Botanical range from Craftwork Cards and I pinched this idea from the sheet I got with my project kit, although mine is a little different.  The card has been scanned with a piece of lime card behind it to show the scalloped edge (my scanner puts things on a white background and as the edge isn't straight I can't crop it).

I cut three flower heads from a sheet of the blue paper and stuck them over the same flowers on the lime paper and I used a sparkly Gelly Roll pen on some of the leaves and flowers although this doesn't show up very well.

The second picture shows how I decorated the inside of the card.  The strip of lime paper was actually cut from the end of the panel on the front of the card.

More Botanical

I used a Craftwork Cards Top Notch card as the base for this and covered the bottom half of it with blue Botanical paper.  I cut out a Botanical Colour Me image, coloured the flower using ProMarkers and added glitter glue round the edges of the the panel.  Then I attached a Botanical Notch Tag to the card using foam pads and added a Botanical Lime Scallop Circle (foam pads) with an In Circle Message in the centre of it.

Finally I added Candi to the tag and the top of the card - this is the new Candi foiled with daisies! When the glitter glue had tried I attached the Colour Me panel to the tag using foam pads.

Botanical

Craftwork Cards have just brought out a new range of papers and embellishments called Botanical and it is absolutely gorgeous.  My order arrived today and I really pleased with it.  The colours in the collection are Caribbean Sky, Ice White and Lime - they look fab together.

I used a large square (148mm) card blank from Craftwork Cards Back to Basics range as my base card.  Then I added a panel of paper across the bottom of the card.  I trimmed down one of the Colour Me panels, coloured the flower using ProMarkers and stuck it to the centre of  a lime scalloped rectangle which I fastened to the card with foam pads.

Finally I added a piece of Candi to the flower and three pieces to the edge of the card before adding Glossy Accents to them.
