The reveal

Well I can now reveal the complete card. Here she is my lovely lady is wearing the corset from Attic Boutique DSP. The fan I made using the Simply Scored scoring tool. Behind the brad is Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon that has been freyed. The freyed pieces didn't get wasted they are part of her headgear.

The flower she is holding is a cut down section of Reason to Smile stamp set. The background was created in layers.
Layer one - randomly rub over Very Vanilla card, with Crumb Cake, Pool Party, and Pretty in Pink.
Layer two - randomly roll over Crumb Cake with the Jumbo Roller using a retired stamp.
Layer three - I ripped some newspaper and laid it over the card, and sponged the ripped edges randomly.
Layer four - Using bleach as my stamp pad I stamped one of the Circle Circus stamps again randomly over the card.
Final layer - using the Big shot I cut out the 70 and then used it as a stencil to sponge over.

She was made using Skin tone card that is now retired and then assembled and glued to the background.  There are quite a few faces lying on my bench before I was happy with the one she has. I like her and hope the lady that she was made for will think she is sweet.

Sneaky peeky

I'm only going to show you a teaser at the moment. One of the Paper Angels has asked if I could make her a card for her auntie's 70th birthday using one of my little ladies. Of course I am always excited about having another reason to come up with something a little bit special for someone.

The snippit you can see is using the Reason to Smile stamp set. I just cut out some of the petals so that it looked better in her hand. The hat plumage is made by using the Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon and pulling the threads. I have also designed the background using the methond I saw at Convention. If you look carefully you may recognise the corset as part of the DSP called Attic Boutique, from the Autumn Winter Mini Catalogue. All I did was make sure I drew my little girl large enough to fit her corset.Don't you just love that paper?

The hat is made using a circle punch with a piece taken out, Crumb Cake and Pool Party cardstock. Finished off with a wee pearl. Now I can't show you the rest till I have passed this card on for the birthday girl so you will just have to stay tuned.

If you would like to receive a free Autumn Winter Mini Catalogue, just email or call me on 0402441964 and I will post one out to you.

Thank you Anna

I have just received a pattern from Anna Wheaten one of our Paper Angels. It is for a Mini magazine holder, such a cutie and it holds 7.5 x 7.5 note cards. I got stuck in and made it straight away. The instructions were very easy to  follow.

Of course it then needed some cards, so I made 5 cute little note cards to fit in the holder. I used Basic Grey cardstock forr the box and the card bases. I then decorated the fronts of each with DSP from the Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack, Neutrals Collection (page 130 in the Catalogue). I love these and everything coordinates so nicely. I decorated each card with Wild Wasabi Grossgrain Ribbon to match the ribbon on the box.


I think I might make a few more of these as they would make lovely little gifts.
