Perpetual Calendar

Butterflies

Today, I've gone Butterfly barmy!

The little set of the butterflies are really lovely and so delicate.

 I

I have added a few die-cuts of butterflies to follow the little ones.

I inked the butterflies in So Saffron then 'kissed' the edges with Calypso Coral ink and stamped 

onto the Whisper White mat.  

The mat was then embossed with Petal Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I stamped a small piece of cardstock with the little butterflies in So Saffron and Calypso Coral.

Using daubers, I added Pear Pizazz then Soft Sky. 

Die-cut the large butterflies using Bold Butterflies and Butterflies thinlits. 

Butterflies, in my opinion, cry out for rhinestones!

The message is from Over The Rainbow stamp set.

Using the names of the months stamps from Perpetual Calendar, I stamped and trimmed them to make

the small collection of the 'Sunshine' months when butterflies are around.

Just a little fun!

All Day Class Projects

The last few projects this week were additional samples for the class. 

Unfortunately, if we gave everyone ALL of the projects that we make, they would have to take up residence in the hall! I say unfortunately because the hall is in the Cemetry!

For this next card I used the Swirly Scribbles Framelets

 and the Pop of Pink DSP with a doily to separate them.

The following is another one sheet wonder card. 

Stamped with several images, cut into rectangles and mounted them onto mats with the Dapper Denim then matched the images back together.

I love the way it adds height to the project whenever I do or see this idea.

Last but not least....Cary standing over, watching and helping with one of the projects.

Do you like the Pink hair to match the DSP?

Weekly Inspiration - Vellum

For my last project this week I have been influenced by my 

son's forth-coming wedding so I made a table favour using Vellum.

With the Cutie Pie Thinlits, I die-cut the 2 images to make the 'cake box'.

I die-cut some flowers using the Botanical Builder Framelets in Pink Pirouette and Vellum cardstock.

Adding the opposite colour I added the stamens to each flower.

Simply but delicately decorated you can either stand the 'cake' up or lay it flat.

Adding a few Rhinestones on the flowers 

will make the flowers pop!

 

Thank you for looking this week, Cary will be back on Monday so please pop by to see what amazing things she has made. 

I wonder if she'll get messy again?

Weekly Inspiration - Vellum

This card was made from Vellum. 

Vellum cardstock is very strong and perfect for using as a card base.

It is also good to emboss so I embossed the front of the card with 

The Brick Wall embossing folder.

I die-cut the heart using the Bloomin' Heart Thinlets Dies. I love that they are so intricate.

 Adding some Blushing Bride Glimmer paper flowers from the dies and a

 little Blushing Bride ink using a dauber.

Stazon Jet Black was used to stamp the message and inside of the vellum card.

A message from Beautiful Ride and Rhinestones to finsh off.

Please pop by tomorrow to see what else I have made.

Thank you,

Gill

Inspiration - Masking Technique

Botanicals For You is the stamp set used today. 

This set is one of the FREE products you can get through SALEABRATION. 

 

A large but very effective message, Just For You was heat embossed in clear powder. 

I used sponges to add several shades of pinks over white cardstock. 

Ending with stronger colours on the outer edges of the image and the background mat.

To finish off I used Melon Mambo ink and a mask from Happy Patterns set of 4 masks

 to give the diamond shapes on the background mat.

A piece of ribbon was also sponged the same way to give a shaded colour too.

Today I have used the Blushing Bride colour DSP. 

In addition the Bloomin' Heart Thinlet Die and Bloomin' Love Stamp set. 

I added a short border using the heart border punch and threaded 1/8 " Silver Ribbon through the hearts and criss-crossed them at the middle.
