Bling it! with the Southern Girls

Hello everyone, I'm sure you can all relate to hectic times happening and demanding your time, that's been me for the past few months, but I finally got some creating time in the craft room and made my DT card for Southern Girls Challenges.

This creation is using up some papers I made myself, the butterfly is cut using Marianne Designs Craftables CR1205 and I had some papers I'd made using the mica sprays and water colour paper love that shimmer.  Then I mounted it on some paper I made with distress inks.  I've also used some DCWV Far East stack.  I really like the way it turned out.  Lately I've taken to not putting sentiments on some of my cards, this way I can add the appropriate one when I want to use the card!

Come along and join the Bling this challenge at Southern Girls.

Cheers,

Thank you kindly

At Southern Girls Challenge this fortnight, we're up for saying Thank You Kindly.  In an age where plain good manners seem to be going by the wayside, it's nice to say thank you to someone who has done something for you and what better way than with a Thank You card?

I chose the elegant Vintage Water Lily Dress image from A Day for Daisies for my card and coloured her in blue greens and blue violets, my all time favourite colour combinations.

I've used Marianne doily die and a matching edge, double layered the doily and spritzed it with Champagne Shimmer mist, love the sparkle this adds.

Hope you're inspired to join us for our

 Thank You Kindly challenge @ Southern Girls.

Southern Girls colour challenge

Hello everyone, welcome to the Southern Girls Colour me Pretty challenge.  We want to see your fabulous creations using Pink and Brown, any shades of Pink and Brown will do!

Check out the awesome inspiration that the Design Team have knocked up for you.  Here's my effort.  I went back to some old favourite techniques and embossed my flowers in white on water colour paper.  Then I used a reinker and an aquabrush to create my layers of colour.  I love how it turned out.

I also made a square frame from my Marianne die, it's a rectangle if cut once, I cut it out 4 times and snipped it with my scissors and then pieced it back together!  Love how thinking outside the box can extend the versatility of your stash.  Oh this is my first use of Washi tape on a card.  I've got it on a journal page, I Love this stuff!

Thanks for dropping by, please leave a note to let me know you were here.

Cheers,
