Pretty Easel Card

Morning everyone,

I hope you are well and looking after yourselves in this difficult time. How are you all coping with the lockdown?

School is closed for the foreseeable future, but I am working from home. I am now experiencing what it is like to be lonely, even though hubby is at home,  I am missing my work colleagues, especially the laughs and banter we have. During my lunch break I am out walking and enjoyed the gorgeous sunshine last week, whilst maintaining the social distancing rules.

Anyway hopefully this card will bring you some cheer as it is time for me to share some Polkadoodles inspiration.

This time I have coloured up one of the wonderful clear stamps, which I must say stamps beautifully. She is also available as a digis. 

If you click on any of the pictures below, it will take you directly to the product.

This gorgeous lady is called Hyacinth and I have coloured her with distress reinkers.

The papers are from a gorgeous paper pad called Adalene

I fussy cut Hyacinth and mounted her with foam pads onto the oval trellis die and WOW one cut on my die cutting machine and all the bits literally fell out, I didn't have to use my pricking tool once. 

DI list:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick

Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen

Dress: Seedless Preserves, Black Soot

Balls: Weathered Wood, Tumbled Glass, Worn Lipstick, Dusty Concord

Shoes: Worn Lipstick

Flowers: Victorian Velvet, Worn Lipstick

The pretty flower has been cut from the Flower Flourish set of dies. There are three different sizes in the set to choose from. I have cut the base in coordinating paper and the flourish die in white card.

In the picture above you can see another of the die cut flowers and the gorgeous sprigs which are so pretty.

That's it from me today.

Take care and stay safe.

Hugs

Make A Beautiful Mother's Day Card

Morning everyone,

Happy Sunday, I hope you are having a relaxing weekend and are able to have some relaxing crafty time.

Today I am popping in to share some Polkadoodles inspiration.

As Mother's day is approaching here in the U.K., I have coloured up Winnie Just for You.

I have mostly coloured her with distress reinkers and added a touch of zig watercolour pens here and there.

The papers I have used for this card come from the Little Miss Sugarpops Plain Kit 1 and 2 digi collection

I have cut the beautiful delicate border die and placed it down the left side. I cut it twice, once in white card and the second time in co-ordinating paper to give it some dimension, finishing it off with some pearls gems.

 

 

On the left hand side I placed the beautiful Delicate Daisy border die. I cut it twice once in white card and the second time in coordinating paper to give some dimension and added a few pearl gems tot he centres of the daisies. Along the right hand  side I have cut the gorgeous glorious border die in white card.

I printed out the sentiment from the Winnie Celebrations Kit 1 and cut it with the banner die which comes with the set of tag dies.

 

That's it from me today.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Happy crafting:)

Hexagon Shaped Card - New Challenge at Creative Inspirations

Morning everyone,

Here we are middle of the week already, I hope you are all having a good one.

Today I am sharing my latest card for the new challenge at Creative Inspirations.

Our theme for this month is .....

Pretty Pastels

I've dug out a fairly old stamp by Whimsy called Dolly, I still love her she is so cute and a dream to colour.  I have coloured her with a mixture of distress reinkers and zig water colour pens.

I cut a hexagon die for the shape for the card (sorry I can't remember the make).

Peeking out of the top is a large paper doily. The dies are a mixture of Joy Crafts and Scrapman.

To finish the card off I added a couple of silver metal corners which I painted white.

The flowers, lace, pearl string, pearl roses and ribbon are from my crafty stash.

DI list:
Skin: Vintage Photo, tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick
Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen
Coat and Dress: Victorian Velvet, Weathered Wood

Flowers: Victorian Velvet, Shaded Lilac, Forest Moss, Shabby Shutters and Lilac Zig Pen


This months prize is from Crafty Ribbons and the prize is a selection of these gorgeous seam binding ribbons in pastel shades.

That's all from me today.

Thank you for popping in.

Take Care.

Hugs
