Flutterby & Dahlia...

Hiya Everyone

Happy Saturday :)

Here today with a couple of cards to share which I made for shows over on Create and Craft this weekend :)

They have some amazing products and samples to share with you :)

 My cards today use some of Sheena's gorgeous stamps! I had fun with these

This first one is Dahlia

How pretty is this stamp! I coloured it up with spectrum noir markers and mounted them to my card using 3d glue. I used the Aurora Create a card die and domed it, I added a few pearls and some ribbon, the cardstock is the beautiful A3 printed which you can get from Crafter's Companion. The leaves I embossed with the delicate floral folder and curved the ends using my pokey tool. 

Markers Used

Pink - FS6,8,BP1

Cream - TN1,EB2

Blue - BT1

Green - DG3,4

This one uses Sheena's beautiful butterfly. I stamped it onto cardstock and then onto acetate, I left the acetate without and colour and used my pencils to colour the cardstock butterfly. I embossed the background with the stunning butterfly folder and added some ribbon and pearls, I love the effect of this one.

Pencils used

Aquas - 061,062,063

Purple - 078,079

You may have seen another Sneeky peek from me over on Facebook :)

This one I just had to do looooool, I didnt think "real" cakes would make it past the team at HQ so I made some sock ones instead, I have always wanted to give these a bash :)

I used the Sweet Treats embossing board from Crafter's Companion - Gosh how I LOVE that board!

All the papers and images are from the CD ROM, The little cupcake on the box is from a template on the cd rom, when I made this, and before I decorated the box, my little Ella asked me - 

"Mum why you making a Happy Meal box?"

LOOOOOOOOOOOL bless her. I used Centura Pearl to make the box, nice and sturdy and lots of collall glue! I used coredinations card for the cupcake cases and on the box. The socks I brought, I sprinkled some of that diamond stuff on them - gosh what is that called?! The other embellies are from my stash.
