Pastel flower spray card to share

Hi Blogger friends,

How are you today?  As for myself I am doing well, as I have been trying to catch up adding all my cards that were never published for a long while.  It does makes me feel like I should always be up to date now.  Wow this is a lot of work, but I love doing it so...

Today's card is a beautiful, elegant, almost shabby chic, 6 X 6 inches card.  I have distressed the pattern paper edges, then embellished it with some Diamond Stickles.  So here is the card with what I have used to get to this result:

I used:
Background paper was from Pinterest findings
Sue Wilson's French Collection - Corner, Border & Tag CED2102
Sue Wilson's - Finishing Touches - Faux Quilled Leaves CED1403
Sue Wilson's - Finishing Touches - Trailing Ivy CED1423
Pointy flower is one I designed myself
The rest of the flowers were from several dies

What difference lighting can make!



 I hope you have enjoyed this card, and thank you for visiting.
Have a great day!
 
Hugs

Mexican tile pattern card #2

Hi Blogger friends,

If you enjoyed the first Mexican tile card I have made and posted a few days ago, I hope this one will also make you smile.  It was very simple to make and had picked the some of the idea when I saw the gorgeous card Debbie Stevens had made.  I had to give this a try and enjoyed the process.  Thanks Debbie, you are brilliant.

I had taken many pictures of this card, but some didn't turn out as expected.  We had a cloudy day and the lighting was poor even with a light so this is the best one of them all.    It had to go for a special friend's birthday that same day.

 
Cheery Lynn Designs - Mexican Tile Pattern FRM149
Spellbinders - Elegant Ovals S4-425
Background paper was found on Pinterest
Stamp was from stash
Strategic placement of bling stones
I added a lilac satin ribbon later on which you can't see here
I manually (fussy cut) cut inside the Mexican tile frame as per seen on the photo
 
I hope you enjoyed this card
Thank you for visiting my blog and hope to see you soon
 
Have a great Day!
Hugs

The simple look of a gold accented card

Hi Blogger friends,

Today the card I have for you was pretty simple to make, using the Spellbinders die I will name below, the set makes it so easy to use the whole thing, after making the card, I went again to visit one of my favorite card maker Becca Feeken, to find that she had added some extras within the frame etc...  So I tried it and loved the look of it.  Without the little accent die it would have looked plain or blend.  I added to this card a handmade blue and white rose I made a few weeks ago.

Lighting was an issue with the mirror card, so there are different lighting arrangements, so you can see it better.

Here it is:


 
Spellbinders - Triple Floral S6-027
Spellbinders - Corners & Accents One S2-097
Sue Wilson's - Finishing Touches - Orange Blossom Leaves CED1447
Seam binding ribbon for the bow
Birthday sentiment from stash
Blue rose, handmade by me



 
I hope you enjoyed this card, and thank you for stopping by today.  Let me know you were here, I would love to see comments.
 
Have a wonderful day all
Hugs

2 cards to share

Hi Blogger friends,

Inspired once again by Becca Feeken's cards, we made ours with other embellishments.  Linda's cards' background was made with shimmering charcoal paper which gave it such an elegant touch.  I was in a green mood that day so mine is green.


 
Both cards we made the same way except for the embellishments.  As I had mentioned on another blog post last week, Linda and I make the cards all the way to the point when we need embellishments, then we finish all the cards at home, separately, the following week we show what we have finished.  Some weeks we chat more and do little.  Always fun!


We used:
Spellbinders - Lacey Tiers AG-04395
Spellbinders - Triple Floral S6-027
Seam Binding white for bow
*
Embellishments:  Linda used a bow and her handmade poppies we made together one day.  I used some of the flowers I already had in my stash.  A half pearl was added to the center of my card, as for Linda's card she had a gorgeous bling piece to accent her card.  She added some leaves and ferns to her bouquet of flowers.
 





 This is Linda's card below, isn't it so beautiful?
Very well done my friend
