Happy Birthday Melody.

Good morning blog friends.. 

Happy Easter to you All.

Sharing my DT post for  Poppystamps  today.

Love this Poppystamp die "Happy Birthday Melody"  great die for male or female even children. this I adhered to a Gray card  panel. The pretty white border.   Memory Box. Open Studio. "Stitched Country Border" with "Country Stitches" this one just emboss`s your card.  

I made the floral display with "Prairie Thistle"  &  "Hampstead Stem".  I have no idea what this thistle looks like,  so used my favourite Spun Sugar distress ink and glitter, I cut two and layered the flower heads up, with a hot glue gun, leaf spray  cut with white and gray card, used a pro maker to colour these green.

Two Stitched  Main Street Tags, placed behind the border, rayon ribbon and charm added. 

Thank you for stopping by, Happy Easter to you all..   Pam x

Good afternoon blog friends,  well our weather sure has change! from lovely warm sunny days!! to cold & dull to-day..



Card today using  "Apple Blossom" Butterfly Panel die"  & old "Cherry Lynn dies".

Was not sure how to use this panel die..started with white card.. I cut with "Crea-nest-lies" XXL 24..largest size  die 5"x 6.1/2"..I then cut the Butterfly panel out..left side, embossed with Tattered Lace corner embossing folder, from Butterfly Garden set.
Next I placed the panel back in the cut out and used double sided tape to hold in place, next added 3d foam tape to all this.
..Do-Crafts Capsule "Oyster Blush" peeking through the panel. this I then adhered to a touch larger navy card.

 Flowers..leaves and swirl all by my old Cherry lynn dies..flowers cut with the blush paper, then  inked with distress ink..Tea Dye..pearls added in the centres.

Did not think I liked panel dies!!! but change my mind as I like this card..hope you do too..

Good morning friends, followers and visitors..

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

On today`s card I have used this Poppystamp die "Bellina Butterfly Collage"  this cut`s  out of the card and leaves the negative behind, top layer in cream card adhered to white card,  at the same time I cut a circle to stamp through, with Open Studio Circle layers.

I first cut out in card for a mask, which I could add ink colours and shading through to my main white card, below! 

I used distress inks in orange shades, dark at the centre butterflies, going lighter towards the edge.

Main card piece, I then adhered over these shaded butterflies. 

Close up of these butterflies, I decided it needed something to emphasis the cut out, used a black pen to make random dots. 

Next I stamped this beautiful Memory Box Sentiment in black ink,through the circle cutout, then I   cut a scalloped circle with "Stitched Scallop Circles" had to remove the centre cut out next as the die is to large to use together. Adhered this on the card.

Two Hampstead Corners to finish,  double cut the flowers to layer in up, orange and white.

Embossing folder from my stash for the background. Crafters Companion  Texture.

Glitter and black beads to finish.
