What A Lovely Day

Hello everyone how are you all? I meant to post this card earlier but the weather has been so glorious & hot so havn't been at my laptop.

I have a card that I made for 3 challenges, yeah 3 challenges can you believe it lol.

Live & Love Crafts Challenge is an inspiration pic below, so pretty!!

LOTV monthly challenge wants to see 'Fairies' & The Ribbon Girl challenge which is also LOTV this week wants to see 'Pearls'..............so here it is to fit all 3 ;0)

Now as LOTV want to see 'Fairies' I have of course used one of their uber gorgeous new Fairy stamps

I also made this card for a special young lady, yes my daughter Natalie is 22 next month 6th June & this is the card off her younger brother...... So it had to be soft, pink & oh yes pretty like my daughter '0)

I will list all the items used at the bottom. The papers have all been distressed, inked & machine sewn.

The leaves are Magnolia 'Sprawling Ferns' die & the rolled roses are a Marianne die with pink card from my stash & I added White Paint.

The stamp is called 'Hugs' which I thought was perfect for Natalie off her brother. I lurve all of these new fairies & I dont think I can pick a fave so went by what they were called to pick one for Natty's card.

I have coloured with Distress markers & added glitter to her wings & flowers.

The resin oval is MF 'Provincial Frame' which has also been coated in Shabby Pink Fran-Tage. The letters spelling out 'SIS' are from Pion 'Red Clover' from the Grandma's School Book 6x6 collection. The die the image sits on & the butterfly edge are both from Joy Crafts. Pink seam binding is from my stash & the pearl centre is Maya Road, Sandy has different ones now which are just as gorgeous, here is the link.

LOTV 'Hugs' stamp

Maja Design Sofiero 'Strolling Down The Rose Path' paper

Cheese Cloth

Pearl Rose Organza Trim

Lace 'Estee' 40mm (1 of my faves)

For You

Hello everyone how are you all? 

The card I have today I actually made quite a few weeks ago & completely forgot to blog it....oops!!

Ive not even used a coloured image..........just some yummy papers & an image from the same collection.......ok I'm just gonna show ya ;0)

The totally gorgeous papers are Pion & are from the beautiful 'A Day In May' collection. This one is 'Tags 6x6'. I inked the edges with Pumice Stone & machine sewn all layers.

All the flowers are WOC, the cream ones were from LLC. I sprayed all the flowers with white florist spray to soften them & add a little bit of white. If you click on the picture you can see it. The spray is fab if you want to tone down colours or create like a dusting look on them.

This is the inside, sorry about the pic I have no idea how this ended up higgledy piggledy. No I wasnt drunk, I'm stupid enough sober never mind drunk ;0)

The lace is 'Madeleine' & I machine sewed it to the paper.

Both of the laces are from LLC & so is the 'Metal Corner' which was has been painted with Gesso. The bottom lace is 'Madeleine' & the top lace which has now ran out :0( is............I dont know because I cant find it.........excuse me a minute while I go cry......... :0(

The image is again Pion from the 'A Day In May' collection, this one is 'Images 12x12' & I distressed & inked the edges then machine sewn around it. The butterflies I cut from 'Borders 12x12' again from the same collection. I cut them out inked the edges & applied Crackle Accents.

The 'Doilies' are from LLC. The swirl is of course Magnolia's 'Swirl & Leaf' die. 

Ok I think thats it as always the wording in 'RED' are direct links to take you to products used.

Thank you for stopping by it really means a lot, stay tuned in for my extra special candy coming in the next day or two.

Til then tatty bye, take care lovelies mmwah.
