My favourite flowers

Now these have to rate as my favourite flowers in the garden - hyacinth's - they just always smell so beautifully.

I used white cardstock for my card base. I then printed out green floral and dot paper from Pink Petticoat CD and attached them to cardfront. I then took strip of Light green Bazzil cardstock and ran it through my Big Shot using Floral Fantasy Cuttlebug folder and went around the edges with color box ink pad and attached it to the cardfront. I then took strip of dark green Bazzil cardstock and ran that through the Big Shot using Cuttlebug Swirl folder and attached that to the cardfront. I then stamped the floral collage image from Third Coast Rubbr Stamps using Black Brilliance ink pad and coloured it in using DTP technique using color box ink pads. I then went around the edges with gold pen and attached the image to cardfront. I then added some rhinestones, Floral fantasy metal word charm and some Prima flowers with rhinestone.

Fairy Tale Couture

Today's card uses one of the new range of Fairy Tale Couture stamps by Sandra Evertson for Stampington. I got mine from Niki Zipp at Paperchain in Johannesburg. The whole range is stunning. Have a look at www.stampington.com

The stamp used is called Ballgown.

I used black cardstock for my base card. I then printed out Black and White papers from Pink Petticoat CD and attached them to cardfront as shown. I took a strip of Lime green cardstock and ran it through my Big Shot using Cuttlebug swirl embossing folder and then attached that to cardfront. I inked the stamp with Black Brilliance and stamped it onto white cardstock and then trimmed to size and went around the edges with pink color box ink pad. I then coloured in the image using Copic markers and attached it to the cardfront. I then attached Prima flowers and rhinestone. I went over the flowers using gold distress stickles using the best paintbrush ever - my finger.

Ballgowns

Now what girl wouldn't love a dress like this.....

The stamp is from Stamps Happen. I adore their stamps - they are mounted and they stamp beautifully and they have a large range. The backing papers are from Pink Petticoat.

I have used Cream for the base card. I then printed out chocolate brown and pink swirl paper and Pink and Chocolate brown dot papers from Pink Petticoat CD and went around the edges with a pink color box ink pad and then attached to cardfront as shown. I then added a strip of Pink Bazzil cardstock. I stamped the dress image using Black Brilliance ink pad onto cream cardstock and coloured in using chalks. I then went around edges with gold pen and attached to cardfront but first secured some brown and white dot ribbon behind the image. I then added some pearls and a flower.

Cupcake Day

Well it's Friday and nearly the weekend so definately a day to indulge - cupcakes my favourite.

I am hoping to spend some time this weekend trying to Photograph my cards instead of using scans. Jowilna very kindly posted some tips on her website this week so will give it a go and hopefully will then be able to post better images for you.

This is an image from Denami - I love their stuff.

I used black cardstock for the base and then took Green Bazzill cardstock and ran it through my Big Shot using Sissix embossing folder and then attached to cardfront as shown. I then added strips of pink check paper and olive green flower pattern paper. Both of these papers are from Pink Petticoat designs - they offer lovely downloads - paper and images and well worth a look http://www.pinkpetticoat.co.uk/.

I then stamped the image onto White cardstock and went around the edge with a pink color box ink pad and then coloured in using Copic markers. I then stamped What's up Cupcake by MFT directly onto the cardfront and added some rhinestones for bling and some prima flowers with a jewel brad.

Now just wish there was a pile of cupcakes ready next to me to eat.
