Especially For you Bellisima

Hello crafters.  Hope all is well.

Today's card is a little bit of shabby chic.  

I've been busy having a good spring clean of the old crafty stash and some of it is old!  So I thought it was time to show some of these forgotten items the light of day and use them up. 

This card was made from the beautiful Bellisima collection from Papermania. It's soft colours and gorgeous images are so feminine.  As well as this card, I made up some more of the lovely decoupage ready for future cards.


I added the  Lisa Horton netted background die, some lace and finished with Poppystamps flowers, SB leaves and pearls.

On Your Special Day decoupaged flower

Hello crafters.  Hope all is well.

For today's card I've used  a favourite decoupaged flower.  I think I'm willing spring to hurry up! It is heartening though to see little signs of life here and there in the garden. 



To carry on with the leafy theme and add some texture, I've added the vine die to the side panels.  It's a short die so I've doubled it up to make it longer. It's from a very versatile Hunkydory set with some beautiful corners and borders.

Items used:

Decoupaged flower - sorry can't remember brand
DP: Craft Sensations
Dies: Hunkydory Oh So Beautiful borders and corners, 
Tonic Scalloped and Pinhole Circles, 
SW  Double Stitched Rectangles
Sentiment: Craftwork Cards
ribbon, glitter glue, watercolour pencil to add shading to image
