Pink floral thank you card .........

A thank you (Scrapiniec chipboard sentiment) card with Maja Design 'Vintage Autumn' 6x6 paper, handmade flowers from white foam, brushed with ink dusters, mulberry pink large rosebud and a white cherry blossom brushed with ink duster.  The leaves are cut with my lovely new dies as is the frame and mount - THANK YOU ANDREA  - I love getting crafty stuff for Christmas :-)  I also brushed the white leaves with green ink using another ink duster brush.

I added 12mm pale pink faux silk ribbon and some antique white 'Alison' vintage style fine cotton lace.  I used ivory/cream beaded berries for the centres of my two handmade flowers and tucked another under the cherry blossom.  

Thanks for looking, I hope you had a lovely Chrismas and see you again soon

Thank You card .......

I made this 'Thank You' card using paper from the gorgeous Lemoncraft 'Heart Painted' 6x6 paper pad  and tried to match the embellishments to the pink roses in the corners.  

I used 25mm double sided pink satin ribbon, a Scrapiniec Round Doily Lace Frame and Thank You sentiment and hand made foam flowers

I made the roses from pink Foamiran sheet and also some little blossom flowers from white foam sheet with pieces of pink/pink beaded berry inside as stamens.  One or two pink and white beaded strawberries tucked in with some co-ordinating leaves diecut from more paper from the same Lemoncraft pad

Thanks for looking, see you soon,

Christmas Greetings card

A Christmas card using paper and image from the Maja Design 'I Wish' 6x6 pad.  I added Michele white guipure lace, shabby white gathered tulle, 6mm white flatback pearl trim

I made the flower (supposed to be a poinsettia, but not too successful)  with white Foamiran and placed a 15mm pearl and diamante embellishment in the centre, adding a 20mm ivory rose, green/red frosted berries and silver fabric and mulberry paper rose leaves.  I tucked a diecut snowflake behind the flowers and another just behind the shabby trim.

Foam sheet, flowers, berries, leaves, lace, shabby trim, pearls and Stardust Stickles all from www.ribbongirl.co.uk

A pair of stockings .....

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas - just finished a pair of machine and hand quilted and embellished large Christmas Stockings

 I added sequins also white medium pom pom trim and white 25mm frilled lace after I had edged the padded/quilted stockings with some red bias binding
