Flourish and flowers

I made this 6 inch card using a pretty oval frame that was given to me by my sister. I used a Cheery Lynn flourish in the centre. The flowers were made with a woodware punch which have been inked with Versa Magic chalk ink in Pixie Dust. I added pearls to the frame and also in the centre of the flowers. TFL xx

Pretty in Pink

As i have got a day off work today i decided to have a quick play in my craft room before i start on the dreaded housework. I used a 6 inch card blank, Papermania capsule collection paper , and a selection of die cuts. I inked the edges with Versamagic Pixie Dust ink, it's such a pretty colour. The flower is by Prima, which matches the paper perfectly. I finished off with a couple of stick pins and pearls. Hope you like it. TFL xx

Happy birthday

Another really quick card, this time using a fab digi available free from beccysplace. I printed the digi and stuck it to a strip of American card-stock in lilac. I coloured the flower with a promarker to match, a few scored lines and pearls were added to finish. Very simple but i really like it. TFL xx

One for the boys

Another card that i have made from scraps , using bits and pieces from my scrap box. I used a 6 inch card blank. The backing paper is some old Craftwork Card paper that i have had for years. The sentiment is computer generated. I embossed some lines using my Hougie Board . I added 3 red stars to add a bit of colour which were cut using an old sizzix die. Three black crystals were added to the centre of the stars to finish. Simples. TFL xx

2 cards from scraps

After a few "Busy" cards that i have recently made, I thought i would get back in my comfort zone . I made these 2 simple cards from pieces of card and paper from my scrap box. The flowers were cut using woodware punch. I added white pearls to the centre of the flowers to finish.

Now a question "" which do you prefer? The busy cards that i have recently made, or the really simple ones like these. "" TFL xx

Sorry for the awful photo's. I tried several times but they were all naff. lol

Spiral card.

I've been having a play and this is the result. I used a 6 inch browny green card blank, to which i matted some stamping up paper, then a square of cream card which was punched using a Martha Stewart set. I made the rosette by scoring a 12 " strip of paper at 1cm intervals then concertinaing it, joined the ends to form the rosette. I used a large rose from my stash. I used some die cut leaves given to me which i inked with Tim Holtz old paper distress ink. I punch a couple of butterflies and added some glitter to make them twinkle. The card was finished off with a few pearls. Hope you like it. TFL xx
