Framed Foliage

Hello there, 

I was so excited to receive my parcel of goodies from the store on Saturday which included the new dies from Altenew to match the Doodle Blooms stamp set.... I had to get them into use :)

The foliage and flowers are stamped in grey ink onto water colour card and I used my Inktense pencils for a change to colour them in.....they've not seen the light of day for a few weeks!! This set is brilliant for building your own floral displays with numerous leafy sprigs and flowers, now it has matching dies you can become an expert flower arranger as well ...Lol :) The dies are really easy to line up and cut with ease, there's also a nice margin depth around the image....not too deep.

I took my inspiration from a couple of challenges and used a Paper Smooches Scalloped Frame to display my climbing flowers in. The linear background was made using a stamp from Mama Elephants Basic Borders, I actually quite like how the lines are a little broken up.... adds a rustic feel, and the sentiment is from Avery Elles Hand Written Notes.

                            
                                               
Thanks for stopping by :)

Happy birthday to you.

Hello.

Today my card uses stamps from three of our companies....Lawn Fawn, Avery Elle and Lil inkers.

I rarely mix and match stamps from different brands but it can work :)

I started by masking an area ready for the sentiment.

I then stamped the flowers from lil inkers Modern mehndi in momento  and coloured with pro markers.

The i removed the masking paper and stamped the border from lawn fawns Belindas borders.

Then added the sentiment from Avery Elle's handwritten notes.

To finish i used lots of liquid pearls to accent the flowers and then some sequins.

Thanks for looking.

Hello Birdy

Happy Friday all! I hope you have had a great week and have an ever better weekend planned. 

So it's my day to post over on the Make The Day Special blog and I have a really cheerful card so share with you....

I am so having an affair with yellow and pink at the minute... spring is in the air ... and it's also giving me the urge to clean (don't worry I won't do too much of that .. crafting is so much more important ;)  ). 

I have used two fabulous dies from Lawn Fawn on this, the vellum stars are cut from one of the extra dies from the Large Stitched Journaling Die and 'Scripty Hello' ( which is unfortunately OOS at the moment but you could use any word die you have) which I have cut a number of times from white cardstock and layered up and topped with the same word die-cut from an AALD Metal Sheet (link in side bar).  

The cute geeky birds are from 'Science Of Love' and I think they look great just perched on the word. 

The added sentiment is from Avery Elle's 'Handwritten Notes' and although OOS it is on the way so keep your eyes open for this lovely set re-appearing back in the store.

Have a great day!

Hugs, Lydia xxx
