Butterfly Baby

Morning Everyone,

We went to a family Christening yesterday so I needed to make a card so I chose to use one of the latest edition Little Darling Rubber Stamps Saturated Canary Beautiful Baby, isn't she gorgeous and so was little baby Lillie.  The theme this week that we will be following at LLC is "The Great Whites".  So as you can see I have used lots of white embellishments which was perfect for baby Lillie's  Christening card.

I took the photo's with a white background but didn't feel that this justified the card, so I took some with a black background too, would love to know which you liked.

I have used the MayaDesign Limited Edition Sofiero "Strolling Down Rose Path" as it was a very soft pink and I coloured the image in with distress markers.

The whites was made easy with the floral collections that LLC now carry, wild orchid crafts rose buds, large rose bud,  medium gardenia, Lily, 10cm open roses and the gorgeous white flower spray and foam flowers.  I also added some shabby white frantage to the larger butterflies and white gesso to the flowers, circle frame, clay heart and around the card.

I have also added a Magnolia white angel amongst the flowers and some of the latest Lace Amelie with some Melissa Frances shabby white frill in the centre.

I have used a Melissa Frances Resin Chiswick Frame and coated it in some white gesso. The little black and white butterfly was cut out from the PionDesign Vintage Wedding sheet.

Here's a picture using the Melissa Frances 6 inch Flower Hanger.

 I also took a couple of pictures against a black background so the whites would stand out as the card looks much better irl.

There is a tag at the top of the card using the Magnolia Doohickey Wrapped So lovely die and this popped into a mini white paper bag.

Summer Days

Good morning Crafters,

Heres my Copic Marker Europe DT Card and I have used another image from the  CCDesigns Darlings Summer Days Set and again masked the image to add the picnic basket behind her. She is coloured with copics and I used the Marianne Design Stitch Circle to cut out the image.  I have also used the new Marianne Design Tinys Hearts on the right hand side and popped some gorgeous flowers from The Ribbon Girl into the centre and the Marianne Designs Vintage Ornament 2 on both sides of the card.

The base of the card was made using a Go Kreate Die.  The gorgeous papers are by MayaDesign Spring Basics.

Flower Fairy

Morning Crafters,

I am back again with another card using one of the most gorgeous, cutest Whimsy Flower Fairies, these images are just the cutest.  I have also tried out Mariska's paper piecing tutorial, something I have wanted to do for ages.  A word of advice though, I think it would of gone a lot better had I had the correct tools, i.e. the scissors and the correct glue.  I have just used ordinary glue and you don't get quite as much dimension.  The tiny elements on this stamp were rather fiddly but I do love the result.

The little paper bag that is holding the tag was white.  I used my copic airbrush system and BV000 to colour the bag lilac, something I'd be doing more of as I love everything to match.

The Design papers are from Magnolia called Hydrangea.  The flowers are from the Ribbon Girl and BunnyZoe. The gorgeous Emily lace, seam binding and twine  is also from The Ribbon Girl.

The beautiful butterfly is by Magnolia called "Butterfly Kit.  It comes with two different size butterflies and also the butterfly text which I have used just underneath the butterfly here and also can be seen on the left hand side. I have also used a 6x6 brick stencil and snow text to create the brickwall effect and positioned the butterfly onto.

Copic Marker Ingredients:-

Skin E00, E000, E0000, E11

Hair E43, E31, E29, E50

Lilac BV11, BV01, BV000
