Cake Mix

Here's another beautiful stamp from LOTV.
I'm using water colour pencils to colour, I must say a big thank you to all the experts who put tutorials on the web.

The cream snowflake paper is from one of my CD roms. I used Glamour Dust to highlight the snowflakes, I also used it on the cake tin the mixing bowl the flour and the broken egg.

To make the aperture i used Spellbinders Fancy Ovals and  Spellbinders Edgeabilities mix and match Classic Edges along the bottom.

For the inside  I used  Edgeabilities again and cut a Fancy Oval out of white sheen paper from my stash.
To finish  i placed a white satin bow on the front.

FRIENDS

 Can you tell I treated myself to the Spellbinder Bitty Blossom set. I used Retro Floral Colossal Paper Pack which I've had for ages and Stickles glitter,

The first lay of backing paper is also Retro Floral but the second is from Joanna Sheen's Furry Friends CD Rom .
Behind the Fancy Oval is a piece of wool left over from a scarf i made for my mum last year.


 The friends banner was cut on my Cricut using the Plantin Schoolbook, I placed a piece of silver mirri card in the middle to help make the letters stand out.


Spellbinders Fancy Oval was used for my stamped Tatty Teds then embossed through my Grand Calibur.
I used Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink for the teds and then Tattered Rose on the hat and scarf with a little bit of Glamour Dust to finish.

Sofia

I made this card for my niece Sofia she is 5 years old. I received a phone call, "Thank you for my card Auntie Alison i love sheep, but you spelt my name wrong, silly Auntie Alison."

 

Lilac Wedding

 I made this card for my cousin. The card stock i used was by Payper Box 250gsm double sided pearlescent card in lilac and white.

I started with a layer of lilac card,
I then used Ornamental 2 cartridge on my Cricut to cut the shape in lilac and the shadow in white.

The middle of the lilac card i used a mask from Creative Expressions .

I then cut and embossed 2 Spellbinder Fancy Ovals one in lilac and one in white, I taped the ribbon behind the smaller oval and threaded it threw the loop and then through the loop of the larger oval,I used double sided foam pads to mount the ovals onto the embossed card.
 The stamp used is from Creative Expressions I heat embossed it in silver.
To finish  i used some sticky back pearls from my stash.

Celebration

 

 

 I made this card using Laura Ashley papers, I added some Glamour Dust for extra sparkle lol,
I cut the numbers out of plain card on my Cricut, the cartridge i used was Plantin School Book. I put the numbers into a spotty folder and ran it through my Spellbinder, using a Quickie Glue Pen I glued the dots and sprinkled Glamour Dust over the top. I then glued the flowers from my stash down the sides .

I have entered my first competition with Divas by design
