The Wooden flourish was also stamped.
Some twine tied in a bow to finish

More Pretty Posy

Good morning

Today I would like to share with you two more cards made with the First Edition 'Pretty Posy' Paper pad.



This first card was made using just the papers with blue in it.
I cut the card into reducing sized squares.
Then I matted them all onto Blue cardstock.
Instead of layering them straight, I have twisted them for a bit more interest.
I wrapped blue organza ribbon around the base layer.
The stamped sentiment was stamped with Denim Adirondak ink.
Three small blue buttons in the bottom left hand corner.
A small blue gem in each corner of the third layer to finish the card.


For this card I again used a 6x6" card blank.
This time I cut two layers from the red pages of the pad.
I then cut a strip of white paper with the red circles on.
The I fussy cut one of the hearts out of the paper.
This was them mounted onto a foam pad and put onto a square of white card.
I then matted all the layers onto red card stock.
A added a small gem in each corner of the layers.

Thanks for stopping by. 
I appreciate all comments you may have on my creations.

More Art Journal pages

Good Morning

Today I would like to share with you another couple of pages from my Journal.



This page was gently inked with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink.
The quote was from my Pintrest boards.
I have used Moss Green DI for the leaves and branches,
I have also used a harlequin stencil with more yellow DI.
The stamps are from the Crafters Companion Textures stamp set.


This page was inked with Moss Green DI.
Then the quote printed off and adhered to the page with Mod Podge.
The stamps are again from Crafters Companion, Textures.
The mask was a 'Cracked Ice' one which I inked through with Blue.

Floral Muse Mini Book

Good Morning

Today I would like to share with you a mini book made from the gorgeous Floral Muse papers from Trimcraft.




The book is made from 4" greyboard covers.
These were covered with the floral papers.
The Butterfly was covered with Glossy Accents and then had Glamour Dust sprinkled over the top.
The 'Life is Beautiful' sticker was put in the top corner.
With the wooden frame around it.
A small bow added to the bottom corner of the frame.


The pages were made by cutting the paper down to 3.5" by 7" long.
They were then folded upwards in half.
They were then cut on the diagonal.
The piece cut off was then trimmed down and used on another page.


On some pages I stamped butterfly's in Brown Distress ink.
Then coloured them in, in Victorian Velvet Distress.


On some pages I put a sticker from the set.

In all the pockets I put a Sizzix die cut tag.
The mini book was bound together with a Bind It All.


Thanks for stopping by.
