It's a Girl

Good morning all

It is my day today to inspire you to use those gorgeous products from

Crafty Ribbons

Today I used the baby pink satin ribbon from this gorgeous pack

Ribbon Pack -Pink

I received an order for a baby girl card and could not resist using this image again, as it is so gorgeous.

The request was for an 8" square card, it was presented in a depth box in white.

The base layer is made from A3 card.  I used several white sheets of card stock to build up layers of pink and white until the top layer which I inked my embossing folder with the spun sugar distress ink and ran it through for a soft finish.  I then added a panel of swirl stamped card layered onto the pink, before adding the ribbon around and attaching to the card.  I added a string of pearls down the side, a cross charm, a heart rhinestone button and a daisy from I am Roses.  The image is cut from a grand nestie circle and then framed with another fancy grand circle, distressed in the spun sugar.  I added a nestie banner with a computer generated sentiment a rhinestone heart some pink pearls and a flurry of flowers to finish.  The purchaser loved it as did the recipients.  

Here is that lovely image coloured in copics

Glad Tidings

Good morning to you all

As you know this is my day for inspiring you using those gorgeous products from

Wild Rose Studio

I have been playing with those new releases again

and have used

Papers - Painted Poinsettias

Dies - Holly Frame and Poinsettia

I used cream as the base layer and also the contrast.  I cut three frames, trimming the flourish off one of them. I added those lovely papers to the base layer and wrapped some cream crafty ribbon around before attaching to my card.  I then layered up the two frames using foam tape and then carefully attached the third flourish, before adding lots of poinsettias and foliage, with a little sentiment from my stash sitting on the tag from the other frame set from the new release.  I added some ribbon and some yellow centers and some glitter dots to finish.

To make the flowers I used red paper.  I placed three sheets of this paper together and put it through the cutting machine all at once to save time.  Once I had all of my leaves, I placed them on my foam sheet, sprayed them with water and attacked them with my ball tool.  I then left them to dry.  Once dry I glued the layers together and then placed with the foliage on the card.  Once this had dried, I added some yellow glue dots to the centre of each flower.

Percy the puny poinsettia
Is hanging his bloom in dismay
If they had just kept him wetta
He'd be a houseplant today
Folks liked the other plants betta
Now he's alone on the shelf
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself

Holiday shoppers would stop by the counter
And pick up a plant to take home
Until one by one all his friends were adopted
And Percy was left all alone

Percy the puny poinsettia
Is hanging his bloom in dismay
If they had just kept him wetta
He'd be a houseplant today
Folks liked the other plants betta
Now he's alone on the shelf
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself

Then into the store on the night before Christmas
Came a poor little girl who was cryin'
But when she saw Percy her eyes opened wide
And she said "Can I please make him mine?"

Now Percy the puny poinsettia
Is standing beside Mr. Tree
His leaves have never been redda,
He's as proud as a flower can be

Somebody made him feel betta,
Rescued him off of the shelf
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself

I know I never heard of it either so thought I better post it for the entry to Winter Wonderland

Good morning to you all

what a lovely weekend I have had, managed to get my nails done, and love them, really should make more time to go have them done.  Got all my washing and ironing up to date and still managed to spend some time crafting with some new stash.

Anyway enough of all of that today I would like to share with you a card that I have created for sending out to our clients when they purchase a new pet.  These are CAS cards using Aurua Wings image The Three Whisketeers.  I coloured them with copics and love how it turned out.

So cute it is that see no evil speak no evil and hear no evil theme, love it.
