Fairy Decoupage ~ Flowers ~ Handmade Paper Vellum

Hello bloggers I hope you had a good day yesterday and managed to get some crafting into your busy week.  Today I have a fairy decoupage card for you.  This is without a sentiment mainly because I couldn't decide which one to choose, but this way it is also use-able for many different occasions.

This card began as a 12x12 sheet of purple card stock that I cut and scored to make a 6x6 card blank.  Next using some gold pearlescent paper I cut a mat to slightly smaller than the card blank and then adhere dit into place.  Using some purple handmade paper and Spellbinders 'crowned ovals' die set I cut a mat for the topper.  The decoupage topper elements were popped out of it's holding sheet and then layered up.  It was then adhered to the mat and this was added to the card.  Finally using some green vellum and a Martha Stewart flower border punch I punched out the flowers to form a border down the left hand side of the card.

Happy Mother's Day ~ Bunch of Flowers

Hello bloggers I hope you had a great day yesterday, again we had sunshine here in the UK, but snow is forecast for Friday. :(  Today's card is for Mother's Day and has been made using handmade paper.

This card began as a white 5x7 card blank.  First I cut a mat from some red card stock slightly smaller than the card blank and adhered it to the card.  Next I cut some turquoise handmade paper to slightly smaller than the red mat and adhered it to the front of the card.  In each corner I added a faux pearl.  The topper was stamped using staz-on ink black and was stamped using a stamp from a stamp club so I can't remember which stamp this is.  It was then coloured before being die cut using Spellbinders 'labels A' die set.  Next using the same red card stock as above I cut a mat for the topper using the same die set.  The mat and topper were added to the front of the card.  Finally using a 'Happy Mother's Day' stamp and black staz-on ink I stamped the sentiment onto red card stock.  This was then punched out using a circle punch before being adhered to the card.
