Birthday Wishes

Peas in a Pod from Craftwork Cards again - I really like this collection and the colour scheme is gorgeous.

I used an 8 by 8 blank and added two coloured strips from the die cut flower sheets.

The flower is made from three of the die cuts layered together. You probably can't tell from the picture but the middle flower is quite dimensional - it is the same shape as the spotty flower but the petals are much longer. I folded the petals under and stuck them down at the back.

Finally I added an Elegant Sentiment layered on to a larger die cut of the same shape.

Mother's Day

Here is a gift bag that I made using a piece of 12" by 12" paper and my Hougie Board.  I cut two large Tattered Flowers and one small one from colour core card.  I scrunched these up and then sanded them which made the core colour show through, punched a hole in the centres and fastened all three together with a brad.

The top of the bag (back and front) is trimmed with a scored panel of the colour core card which was also sanded.  I then added dark brown Candi along the front strip and an Elegant Sentiment in the bottom corner.

To fasten the bag I used circles of velcro.

Diamond Wedding

Here is a Diamond Wedding card which I made this week.  The chipboard numbers were embossed using a Cuttlebug numbers embossing folder and then painted with silver acrylic paint.  I attached the zero to the card using double sided tape and the six using foam pads.

At the bottom of the card I added a Message Band with a sentiment in the centre and some crystals to the side.
