Sorry Flowers & Girl ~ Shaped Scallop Circle Card

Hello bloggers I hope the week began well for you.  Today I have a sorry card to share with you.

This card began as a 12x12 grey card stock that I folded and then die cut using Spellbinders 'grand scallop circles' die set to make my card blank.  Next I used the same die and die cut a mat for the topper from some pale green card stock.  The mat was adhered to the card blank but off set from the card blank scallop edge.  Next I printed out my digistamp which is from Chameleon Color Tones.  I then coloured it using water colour pencils.  Once coloured I die cut it using the same die set as above but a smaller die. The topper was then adhered to the card blank again off setting the scallop pattern.  The sentiment was created using the Brother Scan N Cut text feature.  Once created I cut it out of purple vinyl and then added it to the topper to complete the card.

Decoupage flowers of friendship

Hello bloggers, today's card has been made from a complete kit of card blanks,envelopes, inserts and die-cut decoupage.

I love the shape of these cards and the fact that they have flowers on is a bonus.  Great for lots of different occasions.

The hardest part was choosing which design to make first.  The first thing I did after choosing my design was to push out the die cut shapes and with an old nail file file down the locking points to give a nice smooth finish.  Once all the piece were out and filed down I began mounting up my decoupage flowers using cosmic shimmer dries clear glue.  Once all the flowers were complete I left it to dry for a few hours as they were lots of layers of glue and decoupage.  When it was dry I added my insert to finish the card.  This card comes with a stand but I like the way it stands without it.

Just a quick one as I have been really poorly today.  Happy Crafting xx Hazel
