Baptism

Just popping in today to share a Baptism card for a baby girl I made last night. It is quite simple, but elegant. I just love all white cards. 



I embossed the top layer using an embossing folder from Crafts-Too, then adhered to my card base.
The crosses are a couple of dies from Spellbinders - Crosses One & Crosses Two.  I added some foam tape behind each cross to add some dimension.

Finished off with pearls and a small prima rose.

So pretty, so pure, so elegant.

That's it for me for today, back to the drawing board for my next card.

Thanks for your visit, have a wonderful day!

Wedding card # 2

Hello there!  Sorry I've been away for a bit, just been busy with life in general and no time to stamp.
Work has been very busy so by the time I get home at night and finish dinner I really have no ambition to work on cards.

Then at the last minute Bill and I decided to take a trip up to Algonquin Provincial Park for the long weekend. We left home with green grass and 5 hours away we arrived with approx 3-4 feet of snow!
We knew they had  snow but had no idea that much. But the weather was about 5-6 C (38- 42 F) lots of sun so it was very nice. It was just nice to get away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life and enjoy the wilderness.

I knew I needed to post a card, so I have one left to share. I have orders coming in for more wedding, and birthday cqrds, so need to get busy.

Here is another Wedding card I made a few weeks ago:




Not much explaining on this.  Sentiment is from Verve, paper is from Prima - Princess collection.
Die is by Creative Expressions - Scandinavian collection - stockholm.  Assorted flowers, and pearls.

Thanks for stopping by.  I'll see you soon,

Joyful lilies

I know this month's challenge over at Power Poppy is no lines, but I already had this one printed off and partially coloured when the challenge came out.  I've never tackled no lines but I think I need to try this out sometime this month.

For my card today I'm using Power Poppy's digital image called Joyful Lilies




After printing it out I used the scallop die from MFT's blueprints die-namics #27. I used my very neglected Caran d'Ache pencils to colour.  I wasn't sure what colour to 'ground' it with around the edges, so I grabbed one of my ink daubers that had green ink on it.  I every so lightly sponged the ink around the image.  I think took a  yellow/orange dauber and did the same.  Love the orange/yellow hue around the flowers.

I added a piece of scrap designer paper in behind the image piece to add some colour.  I also punched a small hole under the bow to thread the silk ribbon in behind and then added a bow tied with my bow easy.
Used a white gel pen to add some white dots onto some of the flower petals, then sequins to finish off.

I hope to get some more colouring done this weekend if time permits.  See you again soon,

Thanks for your visit,

Pauline

You spice up my life

Happy Monday!  It's a gorgeous day here in SW Ontario - sunny, cool feels like 27F, but a nice treat from a cold weekend that felt like 10F.

I've always wanted this set from MFT and had a chance to purchase it end of last year when they had their Wednesday sale going on.  The set is called "recipe for happiness'.  I made this for my basket at work for Valentines.


I sponged MFT grout gray ink through my brick stencil onto white cardstock.  I then used die-namics blueprints #15 to cut it out.

I used the matching die set to cut out the 'chef' and then used copics to colour. I also cut out a few spice bottles and coloured as well.

Paper is from my scrap basket so not sure of the designer.  I embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder onto a piece of black c/s cut using a flag end die  MFT die-namics blueprints 27.

To finish off I added some enamel dots.

I hope your having a wonderful day.  Thanks for stopping by.

Forget-me not

Hi there!  I can't believe it is February 1st! Where did January go? I"m just popping in tonight to share another Power Poppy creation. I had this digital image - forget-me not printed off for some time, so finally got around to colouring it.

I used prismacolour pencils and blended with gamsol.



I used a spellbinder oval die to cut out the image, and then used spellbinders elegant ovals to cut the layer behind.

Papers are from Memory Box.

I used corner rounder on the top layer and then added a small flag banner using one of the dies from MFT die-namics blueprints #27 set.

To finish I added a silk ribbon bow (this was white and I used a copic maker close to the paper colour to colour the ribbon).  I also coloured the wooden heart in the center with the same copic marker. A bit off glitter on the flowers and voila!

Thanks for your visit today.  See you again real soon,

Pauline
