English Rose Bouquet.



Good morning every one, warm welcome to Anneke Klerks  latest follower, thank you for joining my blog.

Well I don't know about your weather, but winter has come back here in South Yorkshire, sun keeps shining but really is cold and back to frost at night, what a change from last weeks weather..

Sharing my DT card for Oyster Stamps:   http://www.oysterstamps.co.uk/ 


Cannot believe this card....No Glitter or Ribbon!!!! Just didn`t think it needed any..

White card coloured with Distress inks.. My favourite colours  "Spun Sugar" and Bundled Sage"





Hope you like this pretty rose die "English Rose Bouquet"  just put tiny amounts of 3d foam under the leaves, placed on M/B Open Studio collection  "Pinpoint Scallop Circle"
These new borders are useful 6" long,, they only cut the stitching  not the scallop shape..
"Country Stitches".
Love these new "Distress Windham Collage" dies..four in this set..save`s  you adding a corner, bit give a  lovely bit of detail on a plain corner, or where you want to put them on your card.

Poppystamps Hope & Thanks Clear Stamps CL405,I curved on my Fiskars easy stamp press..






 All shaded with DIs ...
Added a few gems to finish...easy quick card once you made one..

What Are You Up To.


Goodmorning everyone.

Sharing my DT card for Poppystamps blog today.  http://poppystamps.typepad.com/

Concertina scene card..6"x6".






Love these Poppystamps Patient Pup and Friendly Kitties. sentiment from Clear stamp set CL403 "Into The Words" P/S.

front panel 6"x6".. cut a square out..







Top view of the folds ..I used Tattered Lace. Concertina die for the card shape.. easy to do yourself but saves scoring when you have bad painful hands.

To create the scene I used "Colchester Houses" Stitched Landscape"  and Open Studio M/B "Wide Open Spaces" shaded with DI.."Weeping Willow Branches" hanging at the front with tiny dots liquid pearls.





Hope this has given you ideas for scene cards.

Butterfly Exhibit.


Good afternoon everyone, warm welcome to new follower Dirgni, thank you for joining me.

DT card for Oyster Stamps, using New Spring collection from "Memory Box"..

Card size 7"x 7"


Love Butterflies on cards..

Frame inside 6"x6" I cut 4 Stitched borders from "Open Studio Collection" these measure 6" so perfect for my frame, outside frame 61/2" x 61/2" this is raised up with 3d foam tape.

Butterfly Exhibit I cut two shaded edges in creamy brown ink Color Box..then glamour dust the edge`s. Little brown dots are liquid pearls "Dark Chocolate".

White backing card.. Chicken wire effect is from "Open Studio"  Distressed Baptisia Collage..
Cuts out off the card, I cut one left and right..you can place this die where you like, added some ink shading and glitter..
Sentiment is old Kanban stamp set..
Did try embossing this background, free magazine folder, not very good it`s really a faint impression.
Butterflies were adhered across this embossing..
to finish added leaves from "Lorelai leaf" die.

Lilac flowers..




Hi crafty friends, followers and visitors, Back at last sorry been missing for 10days!!!.

Really was a nasty flu virus, hope I never get another dose, ended up on Antibiotics for a chest infection and pulled ribs, which are still sore..

Will try to catch up on your Blogs (Sorry)...

Hope you are all well and enjoying the beautiful weather.

Seem to have lost my Mojo, have not done a card for so long...




These Lilac flowers are a bit fiddly by "Frantic Stamper" could have done one spray I suppose!!! instead of three. you get the main spray  and tiny flowers to layer up I did these in card and velum.
added Elegant Vine leaf spray..

Main frame Frantic "Elements#7 - coved Labels"  cut in Lilac card and white..

Made stick pins with a chiffon bow.. old memory box stamp.
