week 20

Picture perfect

I  took a sheet of spotty bazill CS and stamped Stampin up 'Gorgeous Grunge' splatters all over it. I then layered Carta Bella Baby Mine collection papers and I punched several hearts and layered them adding pearls and a little lace for extra dimension. I then added foam Thickers baby shapes and topped off with tiny pastel buttons. I then finished it off with a tiny title..Picture Perfect.

Rabbit card

Hi everyone, another week and another colour combination for you to play along with. This week we have pastel pink, green and lemon, a perfect combination for a baby card. To start with I have cut a C6 card landscape, I then used my Papertrey ink dies to cut out a pastel green frame, the white stitched frame and the internal vellum, Cuddly friends by K & Company. I layered the frames together also taking the oval out of the card so that the light shines through the vellum. I have then added a coordinating organza bow. The wee tag and stamps are also by Papertrey ink and I have stitched it to the bow with pale green thread. Finally I rounded all the outside edges to go with the rounded edges theme. I hope you enjoy this weeks colour combination, happy crafting folks, regards Erika.

I took a sheet of flock CS and layered it on a white background after first punching some border strips from it. I then matted the photos on pink card. I used two scraps from my stash for the layers behind the photo collection and punched bunting from more scraps. I then added the flower and some strips of heart paper behind the photos and set the bunting on some bakers twine. I added the pink chevron paperclip and flower and finished with a smattering of glitter glue.

week 19

Friendship card

Hello again, this weeks colour combo is brown, green, orange and neutrals. This is not normally a combination I would work with but I love a challenge. To start with I made a C6 card with a side fold. I have to fully admit this was an idea recently shared by the lovely ladies over at Papertrey ink. http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/ The idea being to die cut an image and then colour it with your preferred medium. I have used Papertrey ink cover plate In the Woods with my copic markers. Direct to the card I have stamped the image about friendship from Indigoblu Enjoy life. I have then added distress ink Spiced marmalade, Rusty hinge and Vintage photo around the sentiment starting with the lightest and working out. I have then added the frame with 3d foam to the card and finally places half a dozen orange embellishments to finish. I hope you enjoy this colour combination this week, happy crafting, regards Erika.

Steampunk style

Here is a male birthday card with a steampunkish feel about it. First I took a piece of white card and rubbed Prima Dark Rust ink along the edges. I then matted with some white cardstock. On top of that I used a piece of crisp tissue paper from a chocolate box (I ate the chocolates!). Then I put a piece of vinyl ribbon on top of the tissue and added a piece of beige cardstock that I put three small candi dots on. I then added two cogs and added pearls for rivets. I then added the copper effect car sticker and finished it off with the sentiment which was stamped using Happiest Birthday Wishes, a hostess gift, from Stampin Up.
