Ballgown Ella

Hi guys, just a quick post while Tegans having a nap lol, 

The other day the lovely Christine from Paper Nest Dolls sent me  some  Digi images and asked if I would like to use them, I couldn't wait and coloured up Ballgown Ella with my distress re-inkers,

I used some of my favourite Maja design papers again, cheesecloth, gorgeous flowers from 

Sweet Lilac and the beautiful Clementine embroidered tulle in ivory from The Ribbon girl, so love this stuff plus the Diamante embellishment from there too,

As you can see I added a few liquid pearl dots around her too,

Get in shape at PTW

Hi everyone,

it's that time again for our paper Take Weekly challenge and this time is to

use 3 or more different shapes, your base card counts as one,
we are kindly being sponsored by the fabby The Ribbon Girl, thanks girls,

It was my sisters Birthday yesterday and this is what I made for her,

The base card shape is made with a Go Kreate die, then I've added a square piece on top with a layer of cheesecloth in between to soften the look, 

The doily shaped die in front of that is by Noor from Tracy's shop and I embossed it and added a little distress ink to it too,

The fabulous Saturated Canary stamp called Tilly is coloured with my copics then cut out using an oval die from Tattered Lace, the edges have a light hint of distress ink on too,

The Tilda tag die adds another shape, I think that makes 4 shapes lol,

I've also used some gorgeous white ruffle edge ribbon from The Ribbon Girl,

Flowers from Sweet Lilac, pearls stash,

The sparkle is made with stickles glue,

Criss cross card for a change

Hi everyone,

the other day I bought some gorgeous papers from Scrap and Craft  and some gorgeous chip board pieces too and  I love them all, the papers have a little vintage feel to them and I have found their main site here too, but you know me I don't know if I do vintage so what do you think? 

vintage or shabby chic!!!! 

I decided to make a Criss Cross style card to show off the gorgeous  Lemon craft - House of Roses papers and because I've not made one for a while, the front has a label cut out from a labels 2 sheet, onto which I have stamped a sentiment stamp by Stempelglede, I also  added flowers from 

Sweet Lilac and some liquid pearl dots,

The beautiful lace is from The Ribbon Girl and is Clementine ivory embroidered tulle lace,

and on the top left I added a chipboard butterfly from scrap and Craft which i have coloured with distress ink,

Closer view of front section,

The inside section is made using another of the beautiful papers from the pack,

I used another  Stempleglede stamp and some more liquid pearl dots, a butterfly from the label 2 sheet which I fussy cut out then used some spellbinders fancy tags dies at the top,
