Stitched frame

 

Hi

I was browsing through my old craft magazines, and this design caught my eye

I cut the rectangle window and then pricked the holes for the stitching. I used a sparkly gold thread. 

I then added acetate at the back and attached my 3d flower.

On the inside to cover the stitching I used a cream card and cut a slightly smaller window so that it resembles a frame to the window

Butterfly challenge

 


My second post for today.

I was intrigued by Mrs A's directions for this card fold, so decided to give it a go. 

I have used all the elements - 

stitching (faux)

Shimmering blush - my card base was the closest I had

steel blue - message and the wee hearts

sea green - in my dp and butterfly

#161 slide and lock card

Welcome

Today's card did not turn out as I expected! I was using an idea from one of Natasha's you tubes, but somehow I went off tangent.

I cut the leaves 3 times on my Cameo and tried to colour them with DI in green shades and yellow. I was not happy with the result so added some colour with copics. I added some little touches of gold paint, then layered them and glued to my card. I also added a torn strip of leafy DP to the side.

The stamp is my new Woodware one that my son sent over from Australia for me. It is embossed in gold EP

I am back again with my second post for today

I used some more of the pretty coloured card for my background, and it is the last sheet that I have!

The three panels are from an unknown DP and I have rounded the corners too

A strip of lovely lace is glued across and my sentiment (again with rounded corners) is layered on top. This is another rub on - so many more to use!!

Hi and welcome back

A bright and cheerful card today with my very old Hero Arts stamp. I only coloured 2 of the flowers with copics and fussy cut them. Copics used were E21, Y06, Y38, E49, and Creative graphic marker 35 lemon yellow. 

I trimmed the leaves from a much larger die and tinted them slightly. The white card was diecut and layered onto my base. The message is a rub-on, from another box of stash that has been neglected. I have found that you need to heat them a little if they are not transferring well

Best Wishes butterfly

 

Welcome to this dull and rainy day. It has been a good day to do some sorting out of boxes and catching up on challenges
For this card I have followed the Sketch Saturday #676 although I have centred the circles a little more

My background patterned paper is from my mountain of unnamed papers and the stamp is also unnamed, but it may have been free from a magazine
I coloured with Promarkers, ocean teal, pastel green and pastel yellow for the body.
The sequins are actually the same teal colour as the plain circle, but my scanner shows them as black
Other challenges
Through the Purple Haze #184 - a/g, I did not use the option
