Retirement Card

This card is a large 8x8 square card.
I used the images from the Almond Blossom Fairie from Crafters Companion Flower Fairies Cd.
The image has been pyramaged,thinly layered to keep the effect.

I printed the 8x8 backings papers straight from the cd and cut the card accordingly, leaving a small edge. The flowers are from my Hot off the press stash and I added the sentiment on the interactive part on the cd.

This is a close up of the pyramage.

Prom shoe...

I have just been asked to make a shoe for a young lady going to her school prom, this template is so adaptable to any papers and you can over dress or under dress it up! This is the Cut & Craft Shoe Template
I used prima flowers,Basic grey brads and the card for the main shoe is lovely mother of pearl type effect pink, I used a brother p-touch label printer for 'with Love' in the shoe. I used a jump ring to give the effect of the pin on the strap.

In the base I made a false floor using acetate and sprinkled stamped stars in the bottom.

Silver shoe

Have been having a play! this is using the wonderful Shoe template from Cut & Craft Templates,very easy and great fun to dress up the shoe!

Last Design Team Card for Dotties World

I have after much deliberation decided, to step down as a Design TeamMember on Dotties World, I have been on the Team since the beginning,but now alas it is getting more difficult to get my cards in on time and I think the others are so much more talented than me,with all the fancy papers and brads etc.
This card is using the Chilled out Mikey image and I deliberately left the background plain using denium & grey coloured card to make it look a bit like a jacket or jeans,I used Copcs to colour him and a cropadile for the eyelets.
I wish Louise all the luck she deserves for the future, as she is an amazing talent!!

Dolls House Parchment

I have been refreshing my love of parchment, I havent done any in AGES!!
I just find it soo relaxing.
I treated myself yesterday to the May 2009 Parchment Craft Magazine and this pattern caught my eye.
The unusal part for parchment is the black pen,but it out lines the images perfectly.

This card has a very so lilac glow and would be wonderful for a new Baby card etc.x
