Pursuit of Happiness

For this card I've used a lovely stamp from the Santoro Mirabelle collection called 'pursuit of happiness'. I stamped using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and coloured it in with Promarkers, adding some glitter glue and gems to finish off.

 

 

The papers are all PM Parisienne Blue which I've edged with Chipped Sapphire and the dies I've used are Marianne  for the topper and Xcut for the flourishes and flowers. I've added a brown spotty ribbon and some gems to the flowers.

Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day coming up hence this card.  I've used some new papers from Dovecraft called Curiosity Corner - lovely florals and slightly vintage.

 

The doily is also from this range and I've distressed and inked all the edges with Victorian Velvet.  I've used an Avec border punch (this glitter embossed card is from a First Edition paper pack) and the flowers and leaves were created using a selection of SB, Woodware and Nellie Snellen punches and dies.  I've finished with some pink pearls and a Personal Impressions stamped sentiment (in Victorian Velvet).

Daisy Decoupage and Butterflies

I love this daisy stamp from Imagination Crafts and for this card I've kept to a simple orange and white colour scheme.

 

I stamped several times and after colouring with Promarkers, cut and built up the layers.  I matted the main image onto a SB Lacey Squares die with some orange ribbon and a MS punched border behind it.  I've finished with some punched and layered butterflies embellished with gems.

Leaves are Falling

Well, there's no denying it, autumn is definitely here - warm coats and wellies are out.  It seems appropriate to use this digi image which I won in a challenge.  It's called 'Noah and his Autumn Leaves' and is from Sassy Cheryl.

 

The papers are all 'Neighbourwood' by Helz Cuppleditch and I've embellished with some pearls, ribbon, bow and some leaves punched from patterned pearlescent papers using Xcut embossing punches.
