Dreamerland Crafts - Good News is Coming

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well.

I am just popping in quickly to showcase another card I have made using another very beautiful Dreamerland Craft stamp from the new Spring collection.

She is called 'Good News is Coming'. I have coloured her with DI reinkers 

I cut the shape of the card using a large oval die, which I think is a Whimsy die. 

The papers are by Maja, from the Vintage Summer Basics collection. 

Peeping out on the left hand side is another of the new Fantasy dies and I've placed a heart shaped doily on the right.

The envelope at the top of the card has been cut from a Leane Creatif die and the sentiment has been stamped from the matching stamp set.

Underneath the flowers I've placed a swirl which is an old Magnolia Doohickeys die. The flowers,  silver birdcage charm and diamante heart are from my stash.

The ribbon, pearl trim and lace are from the Ribbon Girl.

DI list:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick

Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen

Top: Aged Mahogany, Spun Sugar, Black Soot

Apron: Hickory Smoke, Weathered Wood

Wall: Hickory Smoke, Victorian Velvet, Black Soot

Foliage and Grass: Forest Moss, Shabby Shutters

You can buy this stamp at  the following shops:

That's it from me today.

Anyway I have been asked to be a DT for Dreamerland Crafts, you may remember that I shard a couple of cards with their images on recently. They will be setting up a challenge blog very soon.

The two dies peeping out of the card are the newly released fantasy dies, and pearl twig (tucked underneath the flowers on the left hand side).

The butterfly is a Joy die and the trailing leaves tucked underneath the flowers on the right hand side is a Rosy Owl die.

The pearls and Ribbon are from the Ribbon Girl.
