Snowflake Card

Continuing our Frosty Theme at the Make My Monday Challenge this week, we have been making these quick and easy Parchment Snowflake Cards in our Workshops this week.

I have used the Pergamano multigrids to emboss snowflakes onto coloured parchment paper.  The snowflake is a Tattered Lace Die.

I hope you are all managing some crafting along with your festive preparations,

Have Fun

Snowflake Hanging

Good Morning all and thanks for stopping by.  Our challenge at Make My Monday this week, chosen by me is A FROSTY THEME and it couldn't be less frosty as I am photographing this.  My idea was to have it hanging amongst Icy Cobwebs in the trees. 
Although that is clearly not happening, I hope you can imagine my beaded snowflake in a prettier photo and will join in our challenge this week.

Hello and Welcome.  The challenge this week at Make My Monday is Autumn Flowers and so I thought of Michaelmas Daisies, although I don't seem to have any in the garden this year.

Halloween

Good Morning and welcome to our challenge this week at Make My Monday which is Halloween.  Now, as a rule, I don't celebrate Halloween in any shape or form so it was a trifle challenging for me.  However, I had this skeleton stamp in my stash and Number One Son had the skull and crossbones and so here it is.

The background and seam binding was Distress Inks.  I knew I wanted a Spider's Web and didn't have one so made one from Parchment.

The bottle is a Sizzix Die which was glossy accented.

The seam binding for the bottom was stitched on the machine and gathered, whereas the seam binding at the top was stamped.

I hope you like my Halloween creation and will pop over and check out the other DT makes and join in the fun this week,

Collage Card

This card is made using another of my favourite techniques - Collage (love it)

 I began by attaching some die cut shapes to watercolour paper and painting the whole thing.









Each of the elements was then painted.

Some gold paint to distress and some stamped script.

Shadows were drawn in pencil and some elements were highlighted with Stickles and Rock Candy Crackle Paint.













 Then I just had to create a matted background for my card.

I hope you like it

Lady with Lace and Parchment,

Good Monday Morning and welcome to our challenge this week at Make My Monday which is TEXTURE and for which I am the hostess.

For this card I have used a Crafty Individuals Stamp for the main image, distressed with Brushed Corduroy. The background was on glossy card - I used the cheap photo papers from the pound shop.
I made a few of these with alcohol inks and chose the one I thought looked best with some lace I have had for ever.

 

I attached the inked background and the lace to a card blank and distressed a doily with Brushed Corduroy.

 

The chandelier is a sizzix die to which I added lots of bling. 

I made a parchment panel on a regular grid with freehand embossing and coloured it with Distress Ink.

 

My leaves were made with Metallic Mesh Ribbon and my rose was a Silk Carrier Rod.  Some more ribbons and a film butterfly to complete.
I hope you will drop by and have a look at the beautiful makes by the rest of the DT and will be inspired to share your own projects this week,

Elegant Ladies and Published in Craft Stamper

I'm so excited today for two reasons, my Parchment Postcard has been published in Craft Stamper's November issue and secondly our challenge at Make My Monday this week is Elegant Ladies.
This image from Nicecrane Designs seemed perfect for this project.

Such a simple card this week.  My backing card was embossed in two parts and sanded back.  The frame and text frame were diecut and highlighted with wax.

I hope you will join in with the fun this week and do pop over and have a look at the inspiration from the other DT ladies.

I look forward to seeing your beautiful projects,

Vintage Heart Card with Parchment

Welcome and Happy Monday everyone.  Our challenge at Make My MondayMake  this week is Vintage with Sepia, Cream and Pink or Blue.
The background paper is Graphic 45, I thought it was perfect for this challenge.

The heart was stamped with Versafine Sepia and then coloured with Distress Stains, as was the seam binding and the Parchment Rose.
To create the ruffled heart, I traced around the heart and embossed with a ball tool.  The butterfly was made with the aid of a Pergamano Multi Grid and the swirl was drawn freehand and then embossed and perforated.

I hope you like my Heart Card and feel inspired to enter our challenge,

Blue Parchment Snowflake Card

Today I would like to show you a Christmas Card.

I began by embossing and perforating the parchment using Pergamano Multi Grids.  This was then lightly coloured with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.

I cut an aperture with a Nestie, being careful not to cut over my snowflakes.

 

 

 

 

 

Some seam binding, inked and stamped.

The background of the card, stamped with text and then the aperture was covered with acetate, stamped with snowflakes.

I hope you like my Christmas Card

Parchment Rose Card for Belinda

Today I thought I would share a card made for the birthday of  my lovely friend, Belinda, because our challenge at Make My Monday this week is Pearls and Swirls.

I stamped the images on parchment paper with Stazon, masking as necessary.  The pictures are slightly different as I have tried various layouts before I could decide on the finished card.

The image was embossed on the reverse with Pergamano tools.

A little shrink plastic embellishment, ribbon bow, some swirls and pearls and a touch of Distress Inks.

I hope you like it
