Lawn Fawn Heart Garden Border

Hi Lovelies...

Well, this heart border has been in my stash, unused, for over a year - even maybe two!  So I decided it's time had come... a little late for Valentine's Day, but what the heck!

I die-cut and coloured it with my Copics, before creating a background for it to sit on.  I cut a stencil from vellum using a rounded banner die, and used Distress Oxides to blend through.  I diecut the panel using my trusty Stitched Rectangle die - then adhered the border over the bottom of the stencilled arch.   I added a sentiment at the bottom of the panel, then decided there needed to be butterflies!  I used a butterfly confetti die that gave me lots of different size butterflies, cutting from pastel shades, then glittering them .  I also added glitter to the flowers in the border.

Lastly, I gave the butterflies each a trail using a fine black pen.

Hope you like my make today.... it makes me think of Spring and a time when the flowers are growing and the butterflies are dancing in the breeze!  I do wish the butterflies in our garden were as twinkly as those on my card though.... wouldn't that be fab??!

Big hugs...

LOTV Tea Party Mouse

Hi Lovelies

Today I'm sharing a couple of cards that I made with one of the images from the LOTV Tea Party Digital Stamp Set.  This mouse appealed so much to me, I had to colour and fussy cut him - and then again for the second card which I shared below!

I created a card panel for him to sit on by using Distress Oxides through a circular stencil onto a stitched square - then splattering with green and gold watercolours.  I added a tiny sentiment at the top, then adhered the panel to my card base, adding the mouse using foam pads.

Sorry for the three photos - I was trying to get the gold splatters to show!

For my second card, I did exactly the same, but used blue Distress Oxides  instead of green.

Tiny Flowers on trellis

Hi Peeps

Today, I'm sharing a couple of cards that I made over the weekend..  using a die from Altenew and some tiny flowers and leaves from various punches and dies.

Firstly, I created a couple of smooshed panels for me to die cut from.   I also had some scraps of smooshings in my 'to use later' box, so used those too.

Then I created the card - using a square stitched die for the panel, adhering this to the card.  I diecut the criss-cross, adhering this to the panel, before placing the flowers and leaves in a random pattern.

Lastly, I stamped a small sentiment in grey, as I felt black would be too strong for the card.  I was happy how it looked.

I created the pink one first, quickly followed by the lilac!

I was really thrilled how these cards turned out - hope you like them too!

LOTV Sending Love

Hey Peeps...

I'm sharing another Valentine's card today..  this time using this cute little mouse from the LOTV Sending Love stamp set.  

I coloured and fussy cut the mouse, using a dry embossing tool on the back and a soft pad underneath to give it the rounded appearance.  Then I created the background.  I cut a pierced circle from gold mirri, then cut another plain circle, which I embossed with hearts.  After the embossing, I used Distress Oxides to colour, then adhered the circles together and onto my stitched square background, using foam pads to adhere the mouse and balloon. 

Lastly, I die cut the 'love' and 'you' words, which I adhered to the circle.

The Greetery Shapely Hearts

Hi Lovelies...

Well, as it's getting close to Valentine's Day, I thought I better get out some hearts!  

I've used a die set from The Greetery called Shapely Hearts - and being inspired by a card I spotted on Pinterest, I blended Distress Inks in various reds and pinks onto the die cut hearts.  

Then I adhered all the hearts onto my card blank... adding a die cut sentiment - I used the word 'love' from Impression Obsession which I cut from gold mirri card, backing with black as a shadow.  Then I stamped and heat embossed the word 'you' from a set by Whimsy Stamps.

Uniko Picked Posies

Hi Lovelies..

I've bee playing with the Uniko Picked Posies stencils again - this time onto a square card.  

I stencilled the flowers and leaves with Distress Inks, then splattered gold watercolour paint over the panel... believe me it looks better in real life than any photo can show!  Then I diecut a birthday word from gold mirri card, using white for the shadow to make it stand out.  I added that with foam tape to the centre of the floral panel, then adhered then panel to my card base with fun foam to give depth.
