49 and Market Layout - Sweet Heart and Memories

 Hello

This is the last 2 pages in this album. I enjoyed using the 49 and Market ARToptions Rouge Ephemera Bits so much that I also purchased the Cluster Kit, which I have featured on the following 2 pages.


On these 2 pages, you can see the foiled washi tape that I mentioned in my last post.


And as always, I have added a stamped owl image, a stamped heart and my inititals to every layout. Twine, glossy accents, wink of Stella pens and glitter have been used for added sparkle and shine!

All that is left now is the cover of the album, which I will share in my next post!

Stampin'up - Amber Autumn 02

 Hello

Here is a second set of cards featuring The Autumn Toile suite from Stampin'up. This set focuses on the trees.


The tree has been stamped and coloured, then die cut. It is mounted over the tree paper and the die cut deer strip placed in front. The branch tree is tucked behind, and stamped, coloured and die cut rocks placed in front.



For this card, the tree, deer and rock scene has been built on to a small panel then mounted over a ribbon strip on  the card front.


The tree was stamped, coloured and die cut using also the filigree die. The leaf die was used with the coral card and fixed on top. The tree was mounted on the card and the stamped, coloured and die cut deer and rocks added along with some fallen leaves.
Gems and trinkets were added.

Hope you enjoy
