Monochrome Butterfly

Hi there! I hope you are having a great Thursday so far.

It's Lydia here with you today and I'm sharing a heartfelt sympathy card with you today, I know it's not a card that anyone likes to make but they are needed sometimes.

I have used the fabulous butterfly from Altenew 'Bejeweled' and used the matching dies to cut it perfectly. Now usually butterflies are brightly coloured but this was not the look I wanted so I decided to colour mine in grey pencil.

As I wanted the card to be very soft I stamped my sentiment in a grey rather than a black ink, I used Winnie & Walter 'Happiest Of Holidays'. Even though this is from the winter release ths set can be used all year round.

To finish I added a scallop bottom to my card layer using Lawn Fawn 'Stitched Scallop Borders' and added so clear sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Baby Girl

Hi there and happy Thursday! Lydia here with you today and I have a super sweet baby card to share with you today, and although this one is for a baby girl by just switching the papers out for shades of blue it could quite easily be for a baby boy.

For the stamped sentiment and cute little paper-pieced bunny I have used Lawn Fawn 'Hello Baby'. Isn't that bunny the sweetest stamped onto the same paper from the background?!?!

The 'baby' I cut using Louie's ABC, I cut the word twice once from white card and also from some pink patterned paper. I layered the white sightly off-setting the pink to create a pink shadow effect. For the scalloped panel I used the midi size of the Lawn Fawn 'Stitched Scalloped Borders' I just love these to add a bit of detail and interest to an edge.

Thank you so much for popping by!

Sending Love And Hugs

Happy Friday! I for one most definitely have that Friday feeling :) 

Today I'm sharing a card feature the new 'Sweet Havana' from Mama Elephant. 

*I cut a tag from white cardstock using Lawn Fawns ' Tag You're It' die, the top ring I coloured in gold and threaded through some Lawn Fawn gold twine.
*Using the Mama Elephant 'Sweet Havana' dies I cut some white cardstock and the jug I cut out of vellum.
*Using the Sweet Havana coordinating stamps I stamped onto the die-cut shapes. For the jug I added shading and stems using copics.
*I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set and embossed it in gold on the banner shape.
*I used white embossing paste on a white piece of cardstock to use behind the tag, on the bottom of this layer I die cut it with Lawn Fawn 'Stitched Scallop Borders'.
*I then added a strip of gold metal sheet to the top of the layer and a scalloped piece using the same border die as before.
*Before adding this layer to the card I added a layer of Lawn Fawns 'Let's Polka' paper to my card blank.

I just love that these flowers can be used to make some many different combinations, they will definitely be reached for again and again.

Thank for stopping by!

Have A Magical Day

Yay it's Friday!!! Hope you have a great Bank Holiday Weekend planned , although it's looking like the weather isn't planning on being very sunny :-/. So it's my day today and I'm sharing with you a pretty bright card that will hopefully make you smile.

To make this......
* Cut a number (I have cut 10) of the larger borders from Lawn Fawns 'Stitched Scalloped Border Die' and add a little colour to the scalloped edge using Distress Inks ( I used Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean).
* Glue these borders together and attach to your card layer.
*Stamp the castle and unicorn from Lawn Fawn 'Critters Ever After' on to watercolour card using Archival ink. Colour using the same colour Distress Inks as before and a little water. Then fussy cut out.
* Cut a number of clouds out of vellum using Lawn Fawn 'Spring Showers Die' out of vellum and add these to the top of the scalloped borders. Then add the castle and unicorn to the scene.
* Add the sentiment using Milo's ABCs.

I totally love the freshness of these bright colours and lots of white. And what could be better than using vellum for clouds?!?!?

Thanks for stopping by!
