You shall go the Ball!

I've dressed up a jewellery mannequin here using Rose Red in the Brights DSP Collection.  She really does have a superb hourglass figure - one to which I can only aspire!!

Good Wreath!

At last I've got round to making my wreath!  I know it's only Easter but I thought I'd put together a Christmas wreath for the Sincerely Yours show next weekend.  My 3D projects are coming together nicely now!

Butterfly!

Continuing on my quest, my next two feature flowers and butterflies: Cottage Garden and Flight of the Butterfly.  Cottage Garden has been done in Peach Parfait and Tangerine Tango and the Two-Step technique has been done free-hand.  I've used Sahara Sand for the sentiment and my flower outlines.

Flight of the Butterfly is two tone using Marina Mist and Bashful Blue.  I've double-stamped the larger butterflies using the Stamp-a-ma-jig. 

Artistic Etchings!

 I'm starting to build up my samples for the Sincerely Yours Craft Show in Edinburgh on Saturday 30 April.  I thought the best idea would be to use all the stamp sets I have and design and produce a card front.  What better place to start than with 'A'.  A is for Artistic Etchings!!

This has simply been stamped in Early Espresso and River Rock on Very Vanilla card.  I've used a Sponge Dauber with River Rock to give the edges of the card and the flower embellishment an aged look.

Putting my new Big Shot to good use, I used the Fun Flowers Bigz L Die with Love Letter DSP.  I used my River Rock Stampin' Write Marker to shade just a little of the En Francais background stamp.


This is Baroque Motifs.  I bought this one as my Sale-a-Bration reward!  I've used Wild Wasabi and Marina Mist with Rhinestones for flower centres.  Added a little Whisper White 5/8" organza ribbon.  Great little 2 minute card when you're in a hurry!

From the new Mini Catalogue, this is Clearly for You.  Monotone in Bravo Burgandy.  It's a little difficult to see, but I've used the Spritzer Tool on the images.  I'm liking my Fun Flowers for the Big Shot.  Here it is again and I've added a little contrast in the button in More Mustard.

Class Act!

This is the guest gift I'm offering at today's class made with the Mini Milk Carton Die in the current Mini Catalogue.  Sooooo cute! I've used Real Red card stock, along with Love Letters paper, punched a hole using 1/8" circle and tied it off with a little 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon.  Ideal gift idea: put a Creme Egg inside or a little offering for Teacher at the end of term.
