Soft, romantic and glorious designs and colors .


Today I have 3 projects to showcase and share with you .
my first project is a Layout I created to showcase these glorious  papers 



LOVE 
the BG paper is lacy and soft therefore 
I only needed to do a small amount of stamping and stitching .
I just adore these blooms .



as many of you know I love creating tags ...
so here are two for you to see .



TEXTURED TAG  
 I adore the softness of the pearly white background
with the richness of the green and deeper pink .
I created some texture with fibre paste and a stencil .  
 I cut out and layered the green and pink butterflies , 
creating a cluster with the bird cage, butterflies, metal element , brads and flair.
the metal element is painted with white Gesso and secured with a glossy ceramic brad. 


LAYERED 
POCKET ENVELOPE and TAG
 Here I created a pocket with a layered and stacked design on the front .
the pocket holds a TAG where I wrote a quote and left room to write a celebration message. 

a close up image to see more details of the layering.

Birthday Easel Card

Welcome to my blog and thanks so much for dropping by .
I have been having fun lately creating cards for friends 
I find Cards are so much quicker and easier than LO's
and they are a great way of using small leftover pieces from projects. 
I am sharing a card I made recently for a friend 

'CELEBRATE '
There is something I really love about easel style cards 
Not sure what it is .. I just love making them .
The Texture is created by stacking various 
nestabilities diecuts in co-ordinating Prima papers.
I topped this stack with a fabric bloom.
thanks for popping by my blog and taking the time to leave me some love 
happy happy scrapping 
big big hugz until next time
