Best Wishes and fairy gemstones with vellum

Hello bloggers today's card is a very pink best wishes card using vellum and peel-offs.

This card began life as a white hammered DL card blank. First I cut some daisy patterned vellum to size and then adhered it to the card blank behind where the toppers were going to sit, so that the adhesive didn't show through.  Next using some pink embossed holographic card stock I die cut the first layer for the sentiment using Spellbinders 'labels twenty seven' die set.  The next two sizes were then cut using topsy turvy card stock and the same die set.  Onto the top die I stamped my sentiment using Docrafts 'pickles and onion' stamp set.  The sentiment topper was then layered up and some peel-offs were added for decoration.  The sentiment was then adhered to the bottom of the card. Next I printed my topper from Linds Ravenscroft's 'fairy gemstones' CD-ROM.  This was then die cut using Spellbinders 'scallop labels one' die set.  Using the next sized die up I cut a mat for the topper out of pink embossed holographic card stock.  The topper and mat were adhered together and then to the card blank.  Finally using some pink and blue ribbon I tied a bow and adhered it to the card blank.

Garden Babies - Down in the Garden

Hello bloggers, today's card is a fun garden card as this is just where I want to be.

This card began as an A6 white hammered card blank.  From some red mirror board I die cut  the largest die from Spellbinders 'Labels one'.  Next using some black mirror board that was decorated with silver leaves I die cut the largest of Spellbinders' scalloped labels one' and then embossed it as well to get the embossed detail from the die.  Using the next die down from the largest I die cut some white card stock and embossed it.  Using Woodware 'garden babies' stamp set I stamped the main image onto the white die cut using vintage photo distress ink.  This was then coloured using ProMarkers pens.  The die cut layers were then adhered together and attached to the card blank.  Onto some white card stock I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using peeled paint distress ink.  This was then die cut using Spellbinders 'back to basic tags' and then adhered to the card blank.  Finally I stamped another smaller image directly onto the card blank using vintage photo distress ink and coloured it with ProMarkers.

Thank you for taking the time to view my blog and leave comments it is very much appreciated and I do read them all.
