PRETTY FACE CANARY MOTHERS DAY

Here is the first Mothers Day card I have done this year, with one of Krista's Saturated Canary pretty faces. I thought he was very sweet.

Man I sure am rusty on the cards these days.

I have used distress inks for her. I am enjoying the softer look they have.

I used the new Marianne dies LR0376 for the frame which I distressed. The swirly is a sue Wilson die .I have put some frantage around the image to shabby it up a little.

I used one of the new cottage roses from Wild Orchid. A little close up of flowers I have used.

Colours used were. Vintage photo for skin. Antique linen and walnut for hair. Shaded lilac for purple.

RIBBONS AND BOWS

Well Gid'day everyone.

I can't believe I haven't posted a card on my blog since October last year. It has been an awful time trying to motivate myself to get back into my card making again. I have had a long break, but hopefully I can produce some lovely cards for you all to see again.

I have been trying to catch up with all the new digi stamps that have come out lately, and have chosen this "Jeremiah Ketner " stamp to start with. She is called " ribbons and bows " and you can find her HERE  at the etsy shop.

I have used distress inks done on Derwent watercolour paper.

Papers I used are from Wild Rose Studio called " antique library "

Frame is a new Marianne set no LR0376 I have distressed it with ink before I took it from the frame.

Lots of gorgeous flowers from wild orchid crafts.

Colours I have used for her were,

Vintage photo for skin, antique lines and walnut for hair, and spun sugar, victorian velvet for the bows.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit here and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Please feel free to leave me some comments, I love to know someone has been here.

Till next time Big Hugz xxxx

Well hello again peeps.

The sentiment card was out of the paper pad as well.

I have distressed all the edges .

 

I have put start dust stickles on her wedding dress , not so easy to see in the pic.
