Queen Anne Lace..

The theme of my card today was influenced by the Inspired by All the Little Things challenge #81 - the flowers and bottles and shells. I decided to give stamping on acetate a go for the CAS Mix Up March challenge - Acetate - my elements are stamping and heat embossing, acetate and die cuts, water colouring.
I stamped my vase in aqua ink and heat embossed it with clear EP and then die cut the image. I stamped my flowers in two coloured inks - light green ink with clear EP and white ink and white EP. and fussy cut them. I did the same for the shells in different shades of ink and clear EP and added a few touches of watercolour to them. I arranged them on the card with a soft background and used the shells and coloured twine to assist with adhering the vase in place.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day

 

Just Because...

Well the weather is warming up here in Queensland and my guys have gone away for the weekend so I've free time ... so I've been busy and here I have a layered card with designer paper and die cuts and flowers and lace which I haven't played with for aaages.  I stamped, coloured and fussy cut my stack of cups and found some pretty blue papers to layer. Stamped my sentiment on the top panel and decorated the card with some lace, and flowers. I'm posting to two challenges - Inspired by All the Little Things #24 - a fabulous inspiring photo and also to a new challenge for me - Naugthy or Nice #31 - Food or Drink -  we can pretend a lovely afternoon tea was enjoyed and the cups are stacked.  Thanks for taking a peek

  

A Gift for You

Well I've been looking forward to some me time so today I hid myself away with my crafty stuff and have some fun.  My first card is for the Inspired by ... All the Little Things #3 photo challenge.... I interpreted the tiered cake to make a card with the Easy Triple Time technique but instead of layering each piece I embossed the edges with pearl gold. I stamped, coloured and rough cut the image and finished with a stamped sentiment.  Thanks for taking a peek

Just for You

Today I am finishing off another card in progress - for Inspired by All the Little Things #2.

These summery colours of the inspiration photo suited this floral stamp from IBS - then a simple layering onto patterned paper and die cut to form a frame.

Thinking of You

I have decided to join in with Lesley's new segment called Inspired by ...All the Little Things.

I have to agree with her that my style has been evolving and changing and I suppose I'm a bit confused about my style now BUT I do know that I love florals and making cards with layers and embellishments - ribbons and flowers and bling. So here is my card for #1 inspired by the lovely blue and white bedroom scene - this is an open ongoing feature so you can join in anytime...
