Mannequin Cards

Hello

For these cards I have used Kaszazz Mannequin and Notions stamp sets.

For this card I stamped and white embossed oatmeal card with sweet florals background then stamped the mannequin and fussy cut it out. It was then mounted over the stamped base.  The flowers are coloured with watercolour pencils.

Here, the notions have been stamped on to oatmeal card with black ink and the panel embossed. The mannequin is stamped on to patterned paper then fussy cut and mounted.

The background panel is treated the same as previously. Diamond background was stamped to ivory card then the mannequin stamped and fussy cut. Lace border was stamped to pink card then cut out and fixed over the ivory piece. Washi tape, ribbon, brads, pearls and gems were used to finish off.

I hope you find these designs inspiring.

Spirals on the side - various themes...

Spirals at the top - masculine themed...

Cats...

Owls...

These are a quick and easy project. I keep the embellishments fairly flat, so you can easily carry the notebook in your bag/purse etc.

Fairy Cards

Hello

I do not usually do fairies, but I absolutely love the woodland critters. Of course they really go together.
These cards have been created with the adorable Forest Fairies and Friends from Kaszazz. Who could resist them?

 All stamping has been done with archival ink, and shading with distress ink.  Stamped panels are matted on to silver foil card and fixed to coloured card bases. Stickles glitter glue has been used on all cards, and rhinestones and ribbon add to the detail.                                         Each of the cards has an image stamped, fussy cut and mounted above the others. The first card has the squirrel and the squat mushroom. The second has the squirrel and the coloured mushroom cap. The third has the fox.                      

This fourth card is along the same theme but in a different colourway.

All cards have stamped corresponding inserts and envelopes.

I hope you enjoy this little trip to the fairy forest.

Till next time

Darkroom Door Blue Butterfly Cairns/Australia Cards...

Hello,

Following is a selection of Butterfly cards I have created using Darkroom Door's Butterfly stamp set. After stamping the butterflies with black ink, I have coloured them using Copic B29 Ultramarine, then covered them in glossy accents.

These cards are fantastic for visitors to Cairns and have been great for Thank-you cards for when travelling overseas.

Hope to see you again soon,
