True romance 5 and 6

IMG_2874 (Medium)IMG_2875 (Medium)For these two cards i used one of the 12 x 12 sheets from the Kaisercraft True romance collection to cover my card bases, and the tags are from a sheet from the same collection – this sheet was great it was full of tags!. On the top card i did some fussy cutting to decorate, and for the card above I just added a big bow and a resin flower which I made – Stampin Up have clay and moulds now, and my sister, mum and i spent an enjoyable Saturday afternoon trying out different ways to colour them. My favourite technique was to sponge with ink, colour with a versamark pen an( thats to make the next step stick) and brush on perfect pearl powders. I love the subtle vintage finish. Til tomorrow….

Vintage london market

Todays card is still using Pink Paislee london market, but I have given it a bit of a vintage twist, easily done with the muted colour tones and a bit of lace. The flourish is my Cheery Lyn Tropical Flourish die, run through my cuttlebug and I just added a pastel ribbon and flower in the top corner to decorate. there are a few layers to this card which all adds to the vintage feel, as does swiping all the edges with my Victorian rose ink pad. I have been busy today creating wedding cards, but tonight I might make a start on designing some new xmas cards… til tomorrow…
