Wedding Anniversary

Hello again.  I needed to make a card for my friends wedding anniversary and this is the design I came up with. Also having been away from the blog scene for quite some time I thought a challenge was needed and I noticed that Little Claire where doing a challenge with the Love theme http://littleclairesdesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/monthly-blog-challenge-66-love-and.html so I thought I would enter this card.

I used a 6" x 6" base card and matted a piece of sky blue foundation card onto it.  I then took a piece of white card and embossed it using the Creative Expressions Bed of Rose embossing folder and matted this onto the card.

I then cut the Creative Expression Sue Wilson Tethered Hearth striplet die out of sky blue card then just the out die  to cut the shape in white card.  I glued the blue piece onto the white card with spray glue before placing this onto the card using mounting foam.

I then used the decorative centre of the Creative Expression Sue Wilson Canadian Collection Toronto die on sky blue card which again was attached to the card with  mounting foam.  I then cut on the sentiment from the Creative Expression Sue Wilson Expressions Collection Ornate Oval Special Day, three times in white card before stacking them together with spray glue and attaching this to the decorative centre.

I cut some flowers in white and sky blue using the Creative Expression Sue Wilson Finishing Touches Collection Camellia Complete Petal backing them with Creative Expressions Finishing Touches Collection Splendid Swirls.  These were then put onto the card to make a little corsage.

I then finished off with some pearls down the edges.

My friends where overjoyed with the finished article.

I hope you like it and thank you for visiting.

All about the flowers

Hello again, I thought I would share my latest card with you.  Again I have used a lot of Creative Expression/Sue Wilson products.  I just think they are so versatile.

I cut the Sue Wilson Pierced Rose Die out of some white card.  I inked the roses with Frosty Aqua Cosmic Shimmer Colour Cloud Ink before adding some Aqua Foundation Card to the back.

I made a frame from the 2 largest dies in the Sue Wilson Noble Dies - Ornate Pierced Rectangles and added this to the top as shown.

I matted and layered some Aqua card with some white card embossed using the Bed of Roses Embossing Folder from Creative Expressions.  This is my favourite embossing folder and you will see it used a lot, for which I make no apologies. I placed this onto my card blank and then placed the pierced rose frame on top.

I made a flower corsage using white tulle, pearl string, Sue Wilson Camellia Complete Petal flowers in Aqua and White and some leaves using Spellbinders foliage dies.

A nice technique.

Hello. With the weather outside being wet and windy I am managing to get a number of cards made and have managed to keep my promise of adding another blog.  Here goes.

I love learning different techniques and this is one of my favourites.

I took some Teal coloured Foundation Card and embossed it using the Sue Wilson Bed of Roses embossing folder.  I then spread Decadent Teal Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Texture Paste over the whole of it and left it to dry.  This took about a couple of hours.

I cut a base in white using the biggest die from the Sue Wilson Canadian Collection Toronto die.  Using the same die together with the next largest die and cut this out on some teal card and added it to the white base.  I then used the third die and cut out the middle so it looked like a frame.  I added mounting foam to this.

I used the next die down and cut it out of white card.  I stamped the sentiment onto teal card in Clear Perfect Medium and embossed in Silver.

I matted and layered some teal and white card to my card base.  The Bed of Roses background, once dry, was cut into three sections and mounted with foam to the card.  The frame was then added and the white pattered card glued to the centre before the sentiment was added.

I finished the card off with some embellishments

Hope you like it.
