Negative Glittery California Collection

Good Morning All
At last we have sunshine, the weather has been abit yukky here for the last week but normality has returned !!
******

As promised, here is what I did with the negative of yesterdays card, as you know, I cant throw anything out or waste it.

I cut what was left of the sticky paper / card so it would fit a 5 x 7 card.

I didn't want to just glitter it so I sprinkled pink glitter first, randomly, then the rest of it with white, and I quite like the effect it gives.

I used the same My Minds Eye paper as yesterday and stuck it under the aperture.

I used a lovely decoupage flower, a bead pin with ribbon and a circle sentiment from not sure where (sorry).
The girls at the Craft Meet yesterday were quite made up with this design so we will try it again I think.
Val also said she is going to join me in my mission not to buy any new stuff !!!!!

Glittery California Collection

Good Morning All

I caught a quick glimpse of Sue Wilson  on C & C afew weeks ago and she was using double sided sticky paper but I did not catch the full thing so I am not quite sure how she did it, so if any of you know of a video tutorial please let me know.

I was talking to John about it and he tried to explain to me but I should have written it down, I need a tutorial John Please !!!!!!

Anyway, this is my try at it.

I started by sticking one side of the double sided sheet to card, die cut it with Sue Wilson California Collection 'Hollywood'.

It was very fiddly getting the bits out though. There has got to be an easier way I think.

 Then I peeled off the other side and glittered it, then matted it onto brown paper, proceeded to mat and layer with My Minds Eye paper.  Decorate with bead pins and bow and gems.

Then I cut the same shape out in white card for the inside.

I will show you tomorrow what I made with the negative of the sticky card.

Circle Card

Good Afternoon all

My card today is a circle. I,ve made it for afew challenges I enter regularly.

I folded an A4 sheet of Pearlpale pink card, then drew a circle with my compass with a diameter of just under 6".  (Gosh, this is taking me back to my school days - what with compasses and diameters).  A Forever Friends peeloff stuck onto pink card and cut edges with scalloped scissors.  Put fancy white and silver doily inderneath edges and then just went to town on my embellishments - foam `Love` and ducks - Pin made from jewellery stash - die cut flowers from my NEW Marrianne dies - afew pearls - peeloff round the edge.

I would also like to thank my new followers too.

Tag

Good Evening all

Today I made a tag using a gorgeous freebie from Astrid Artistic Efforts blog.  She has some amazingly gorgeous freebies on her blog, she is one talented and generous lady.
I printed her sheet off and used one tag and one butterfly and decorated it with my own flowers and die cut swirls.  Ribbon and gems and bits off a peeloff sheet were added to bling it up.   I know tags are quite fashionable at the moment - over on Docrafts there is a tag swap.

 I will use this to put on a card but I think it looks really good.  Let me know what you all think please.
