Wedding Card

Well it never ceases to amaze me how many people pop in to look at my blog on a day to day basis, and just how worldwide they are.  I have people who have dropped in from America, Portugal, Russia, Mexico, South Africa, Romania, Ukraine, France, Ireland, and of course the UK.  I would like to thank each and every on of you for popping in and it is always lovely to receive comments on my cards.

At the beginning of the week I was asked by a friend to make a last minute wedding card, which was a challenge as I didn't have any specific wedding dies or stamps, so had to make the most of what I had!  I hope she likes it, as I am always nervous when making things for people as you never know exactly what they are going to like.

As you know I like the clean and simple look so stayed true to this!  I started by cutting my matts and layers, including the die cut elements before putting them together, with two layers of foam tape added to give a bit more dimension.




I stamped the sentiment and then added the Sue Wilson Delicate Daisies complete petals and just layered these up to create this effect and finally I used the Creative Expressions white pearl corners which I think just finishes it off nicely.












The recipe for this card is as follows:

Foundations Cardstock - Coconut white & Iris
Sue Wilson Pierced Squares
Phil Martin Scribbled Sentiments stamp set
Sue Wilson Heraldic Square
Sue Wilson Herald Square
Sue Wilson Delicate Daisies Open Petals
Creative Expressions Corner Pearls
An assortment of small pearls from my own stash

I hope you have enjoyed this card and look forward to catching up again soon.

Until then, take care

love

Ginny xx

Pixie Powders

I'm afraid it has been a while since I have updated my blog.  The problem is there has been so much going on that I have gotten a bit bogged down.  I now have 9 lambs to bottle feed and a friend has been poorly so I have been looking after her horse too, as well as work getting in the way.

I am pleased however that I have managed to get some time to take part in some craft classes and a couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to take part in a workshop with John Lockwood.

I had a great time playing with the new Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders and the Sue Wilson dies, which are a real favourite with me.

Anyway, this is the card I produced and I love the colours and the look can be changed so easily by changing the sentiment and colour!



A bit of short and sweet from me, but hope you like the card.

Take care, until next time
