The Garden Shed

I really enjoyed making this card.  I started with a computer generated backing sheet. Then printed off a picture of a garden shed.  Copied and pasted lots of extra bits to give some extra detail to the card.  Very fiddley cutting out of the branches.  The butterflies I used were leftover from a previous project. The tag was created using the Marianne Creatables Lace Tag cut and emboss die LR0154. The centre of the tag came from using the smallest die from Spellbinders Nestabilities labels Eighteen.  The leaves were created using Joy Crafts Die Cutting Emboss Stencil Leaves 22.  The size of the card is A4 half folded to Landscape.

Hanging Card

My take on a Pretty Hanging Card.  Used the two largest dies from the Grand Oval dies from Spellbinders to make the oval frame work.  Spellbinders Rose Creation dies to make the roses.  5 Layers for the bottom roses and used the three smallest dies to make the roses on the sides.To hold the rose petals together and make the centre of the rose I used Making Memories mini brads in pastel pink.  Spellbinders Shapeabilities Butterfly S3-038.  For the Tag I used Joy Crafts Die Cutting Emboss Stencil Tags 21, and added gold With Love Peel Offs.  For the bow I used Iridescent Lurex pull bow ribbon.  Decoupage picture of Rose courtesy of Pinflair   Mirror imaged so would have two facings. I cut out the layers and used pinflair glue between the layers.  I used pearlescent card throughout the project.

Kanban Lady

This card was made for a friend of mine Michelle for her Birthday. Started with a backing sheet from a Debbi Moore Design CD.  Then using Spellbinders Grand Labels Four dies with grey and pink card.  Used Kanban clear stamp Fancy Lady and embossed with Heat It Up silver Embossing Powder. Then used Marianne Design Creatables LR0150 and LR0151 to add some detail with the green pearlised card leaves.  Added peel offs to finish.  Size of card A4 300gsm hammered card half folded to portrait.  She absolutely loved it.  Scaned image so insert matched the front and typed a special birthday verse to her.
