L for Lace

Happy Friday,

Yep, it's definitely a happy one - I finally finished school for the summer yesterday. So a good few weeks to look forward to and plenty of crafting.

It's time for our next letter at the Alphabet Challenge and this week we are up to the letter 'L' and Jennifer has chosen

  'LACE'

Here's what I made for my DT inspiration ...

I decided to use one of my new sentiment stamps as the focal point for this one - it's from Inkylicious and I just love it. I stamped in versamark ink and embossed in gold detail embossing powder. The background paper is from one of my LOTV paper pads - 'Beach Bliss'. All other embellishments, including the lovely lace are from my stash.

Hope you can come and join us this time.

Vintage Lace

Happy Monday,

I hope everyone enjoyed the lovely weather over the weekend - hope it's here to stay!

It's time for a new challenge over at Make My Monday and this week Suzi has chosen the theme. We would love to see your projects using 'Lace and/or Ribbon'. Here's what I made for my DT inspiration ...

I made a 6x6" card using a pre-printed topper, something I don't usually use much - but I adore these little girls and I though it went so well with the gorgeous backing paper and ivory vintage lace from my stash.  I also added a piece of black ribbon to pick out the black in the backing paper. Embellishments include some little felt daisies, three adhesive pearls and some letter tiles to spell the word 'vintage'. I love the sepia tones on this one.

If you have a minute, please pop over to the blog and check out the work of my teamies.

Peaches and Cream

Hello there crafty friends,

First, can I say a big welcome to my new followers - I hope you enjoying visiting from time to time.

I have a birthday card to show you this evening, which I made for a work colleague and also for the challenge over at 'Lili's Little Fairies' - which is 'Peaches and Cream', hence the title of my post. Here's what I made ...

This one is a 6x6" cream linen card blank which I covered with gorgeous peach paper from Raspberry Road - I am in love with these papers at the moment and if you haven't found them yet, check them out HERE. I added a second mat which is also mounted on cream cardstock and decorated with a 'Fleur de Lys' die-cut border.  The cute little image is 'LOTV - Blossom' and is coloured with my Promarkers and mounted onto a peach scalloped circle.  The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is also LOTV. Added embellishments include a piece of vintage lace, three die-cut flowers from scraps of matching paper, a little die-cut butterfly with added pearls, a couple of pearl hearts and some adhesive gems.

I would also like to enter this in the following challenges:
