Bo Bunny Primrose number 1
Today we start a new series – Bo bunny primrose. I love the soft muted pastel, but thoroughly modern designs of this paper and have made quite a few cards with this collection already.for this one I fussy cut some of the paper around the circle design,and layered other paper onto pink cardstock. I fussy cut the sheet of butterflies, and they feature on most of the cards in this series. Just added a ribbon bow and kindyglitz to finish. Today I have spent a great deal of time working on a new card shape, but I think I have finally worked out all the kinks – not sure if it will be a lesson at some future date yet – may have to practise it a few times myself! Til tomorrow…

this is one of my favourite sketches ( a map for setting out my card design) and I use it frequently! The paper collection is from Prima – Something Blue, and I distressed and inked( tea dye distress ink) all my edges. The gorgeous charm is from Prima, and I added a ribbon and some liquid pearls, and kindyglitz.looking forward to card club tomorrow and a new challenge! til tomorrow….
Prima Something blue number 1
Recently i bought some of the new Prima Something blue collection. I bought the A4 paper pad and a pack of atc sized cards – I think there were 36 or 48 cards – ( I will check before next blog post and let you know) and these cards had all sorts of images on them. This is the first card I made using them.I did some layering, sponged the edges with tea dye distress ink and rounded my corners. I added some lace and ribbon and liquid pearls, and a vintage style card done! til tomorrow….

fairy card,little girl card.
A couple of weeks ago when I was on a mission to tidy up my paper collection I found some sheets that I had bought while on a trip to Robe, at a little shop on the way there.I can’t tell you the name of the papers, as I can’t recall, but these are some of the cards I made with it. I used stampin up cardstock and sentiment stamps, a scalloped circle die, and some ribbon as well as a little bit of fussy cutting. I like the combination of yellow and pink on the bottom cards! Today in the craft room, I have gone back to my graphic 45 botanical tea paper and have been making a few more Mothers day cards to take around to the school this week. Til tomorrow….
