Me and My Florals

Morning all, back again

Today I wanted to share with you one of the images I got from my purchases, some time back, from the Doncaster Dome Whichcraft UK craft event.  The images just sort of shouted out to me and were a real good price too.  They were from Justinklined and it has taken me a while to get around to colouring them (shame on me)

So here is the first one, quite CAS for me as I wanted the image to be the main focus, hope it worked..

Now I made a Wedding Card, although think this one could be used for many occasions, your suggestions are welcome as I will be using it again as I adored colouring it up.

I also tried a new thing for me, to emboss without die cutting using one of my grand decorative circle nesties and the corner details using the Whimsy die cuts, which I got from the Hobby House, now you can find the link for the shop in my left side bar as I also used lots of their pearls these are the small and tiny ones.  I added the little bell, crystal bling, flower and bell from my stash and the contrast to the white is the lilac paper.

Here is a close up of the copic coloured image

These images also come in digi format and you can find them 

here

I would like to welcome my new followers, and I would like to thank all of my wonderful visitors who take the time to leave me such inspirational and kind comments, and this then allows me to hop on over and visit you in return and I love hopping around:)

Good morning to you all

Another quickie Christmas card for you this morning, my collection for his mum's craft fair is growing nicely and I have to say these Hobby House Toppers are brilliant for quick but stunning makes.

Showing you the angles from both sides on this one so you can see all the details.  On this one that gorgeous Hobby House fancy button on top of the lovely Christmas Ribbon and that fabulous fran tage.  This image on it's die cut fits perfectly onto this elegant nestie die.

 This view to show you the gorgeous flowers from the Hobby House, the large poinsettia in the red, the smaller in the white and the beautiful mulberry roses. All have had a dusting of crafter's companion gold spray for that extra Xmas feel.

anyway here is my inspirational piece, but do hop over  to the main challenge site to see the rest of the amazing inspiration from my sister meeces :)

A generic card and small to fit the die, but then the last piece took all that time :) so needed a little rest lol

I used the nestie die to create the front of the card and made a back piece to fit, I then hand cut the purple blue card to fit the inner shaping and added the image on the next die cut down, hope that makes sense.  I added nothing else, I know hope the shock did not cause harm there.

Here is a close up of this super cute image, with just a tad of Atyou clear glitter on the liquid.
