A gorgeous little Birthday Card

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a Birthday Card I made for my daughter's 30th birthday recently.

I strayed away from the traditional pinks and love this colour combo.

The bigger heart is the left over from some heart frames I had.

(never throw anything away)

Strips of paper with muslin underneath.

I bought the little birds recently and I love them poking out of the flowers. 

All the chippies are painted white and then coated in pearl finish. 

Thanks for stopping by

" Living the Dream "

Hi all and yes its been awhile since I have been on my little blog. As many of you know I have had some extensive shoulder surgery and unfortunately that has stopped me doing a lot of the things that I like to do. 

I am on the road to recover so I am in the process of 

 playing catch up. 

I wont be going into to many details on the next few post just so I can get in front.

This post was part of my design team work for D-lish scraps

This is a photo of myself and my hubby in Bali. I surprised him with a trip to Bali for his 50th birthday and our wedding anniversary. Yes we married on his birthday just so he wouldn't ever forget the day.

I picked up on the earthy colours in the photo for this one. Inked the background with yellow and green then heaps of stamping in black.

Lots of layers and added some Kaisercraft tags into the layer.

Yellow muslin and of course Punchinella and a clock or two. I love adding the gold

photo corners as you can see here.

All the chippy pieces were painted with green paint, I left 'the little bird natural

distressed and tore the edges then inked them.

I took a couple of strands of kitchen string and made a bow, really organic.

Strips of papers, arrows and some film strip washi tape.

Love adding Kaisers cutouts into the layers and then some 

Prima flowers and D-lish flowers. D-lish have some beautiful flairs

and I have added some to this layout.

" Love You "

Hi all this is another one that I created for D-lish Scraps recently.

D-lish Scraps

I am slowly getting through all the posts that are waiting to be published.

This is a photo of my youngest granddaughter Eliza. The photo was taken at her day care centre for the yearly photos. There are so many details to look at in this one, lovely soft colours

which is something I don't use often.

I distressed the edges and random punched edges and then inked them.

Where I punched the edges I have added some lace to poke out.  

All the chipboard was painted in white.

The background is a mix of texture paste with stenciling and 

script stamping with my Gelatos, I also added some pink spray and splashes 

of green ink.

I love the little birds and these resin heart frames are gorgeous especially

when you add a quote to them. Don't you just love the 

gorgeous zip hanging down?

Love this flourish which I cut in half and added each piece to 

either side of the photo. Lots of layers and some doilies added.

I found some cut outs in my stash and inked them in the same

pink ink at the edges of the layout. Plus the little fairy.

This is such a cute title from Scrap FX. 

Lots of roses with soft green leaves which you can get form D-lish scraps.

Some of the items used;

" A pretty card "

Hi everyone and if your in Australia you would be enjoying some beautiful spring weather.

This is a 50th Birthday Card that I made for a special friend of mine.

As you would be aware I very rarely showcase any cards on my blog but I am very happy with the way this one turned out.

Very Shabby Chic which is a style that I love.

Lots of layers all distressed. I have used some dies to cut out the background, the mannequin and the flourish. These are available at Anita's Die Cutting (very reasonable)

How cute is the little bird poking out of the flowers.

Doilies behind the layers with feathers and beads.

Thanks for stopping by

Till next time
