Vintage Christmas


Today's card just oozes sparkle and bling. It is one of those cards that are much better in real life as then you can see all the sparkle from the glitter.
The poinsettia and snowglobe images are from a Vintage Christmas CD and the backing paper is from an Elusive Images Seasons Greetings CD. The pearl/diamante bling strip at the bottom of the card is from a Chinese shop kindly bought for me by Debbie. Its really super sparkly bling and of course this girl loves her bling.
Materials: Seasons Greetings Elusive Images CD background paper, Brown cardstock, Pink Bazzil cardstock, Mauve bazzil cardstock, white cardstock to print poinsettia and snowglobe image onto, Vintage Christmas CD images of snowglobe and poinsettia, bling, tiny pink pearls, rhinestones, clear and very pale pink glitter, glue pen, small diamante, dusty pink color box ink pad.
Method: Fold brown cardstock to create square top fold card. Go around edges of pink and mauve cardstock with color box ink pad and attach to cardfront. Print out sheet of paper from Elusive images Seasons Greetings CD and trim to size and go around edges with color box ink pad and attach to cardfront. Print out Poinsettia image and snowglobe from Vintage Christmas CD onto white cardstock and cut out. Go around the edges of the snowglobe - just the globe part with glue pen and sprinkle with Clear glitter. Go over the tinsel on the bottom part of the snow globe with Stickles clear glitter glue and attach 3 small diamante. Attach snowglobe image to cardfront and then attach poinsettia. Go over areas of poinsettia with glue pen and sprinkle with pale pink glitter. Attach small pink pearls to the centres of the poinsettia. Attach rhinestones in the top corner as shown and then attach row of pearls/diamante bling at the bottom of the card.
Wishing everyone a happy weekend.

Beautiful Butterflies


Today's card features butterflies. I am noticing a mass of caterpillars in our garden at the moment and I am praying that they are all getting ready to turn into beautiful butterflies that will flit around the garden. They are so pretty when they do that - I could sit and watch them for ages - it always make me feel happy when I see them.
If they don't turn into gorgeous butterflies I am going to be really upset as I hate seeing all the furry little things on my plants and must say that I have never seen as many as there are this year.
Today's card uses a cream card base and then I have taken scrapbook paper and gone around the edges with mauve colorbox ink pad and then attached to cardfront. I used stickles clear glitter on various areas of the scrapbook paper to highlight images. I then added the word beauty using alphabet stickers. I then printed out butterflies from Elusive Images CD onto acetate and cut them out and bent their little bodies to give them movement and attached to cardfront. A very simple card but I think very pretty and effective.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I hope the caterpillars in your gardens turn into beautiful butterflies for you to enjoy this spectacle of nature.
