MANS CARD

This next card was made again very simply on 8 X 8 card, using a printed black checked paper as the main background paper.  I then printed off the sky as the next background paper and then four images of airplanes. All these images I then matted onto Black card and used STICKLES to edge each image and dot around the checked background paper. The last thing i did was stamp a simple sentiment and cut it out, adding stickles again around the edges. 


ROSES ARE RED

This card was for my Moms birthday and to be honest was really simple to make. First i started with the usual 8 X 8 card matted and layered CENTURA PEARL CARD cut using GRAND CALIDER SQUARES with the inside of the frames embossed with a smaller square die.  For the aperture I used an embossed swirl CENTURA PEARL CARD and then used glossy accents over the raised swirls.

I then used roses and leaves cut out and decoupaged just using two layers.  I again used GLOSSY ACCENTS over the petals and leaves, but doing a bit at a time and leaving a minor gap between each application so that the petals and leaves really felt very dimensional. I then added a golden swirl and a sentiment and finally added four large pearl flat beads to the corners.


LAVINIA BACKING PAPER WITH STAMPED IMAGES


This is a card using the LAVINIA PAPERS, LAVINIA STAMPS AND GLOSSY ACCENTS. Framed with rectangle labels SPELLBINDERS cut and embossed, using the CENTURA PEARL card. Matted onto black card.  A green fabric flower with pearlised gem is added to the corner to match the green of the paper.
Glitter was added to the glossy accents as it dries and glitter added to her acetate wings. A simple stamped sentiment added to a label was the final finishing touch.

ANDREWS 50TH BIRTHDAY

This card is very simply made using 7 x 7 inch white card with the toppers matted and layered onto CENTURA PEARL CARD again matted onto black card.  The main topper and background paper were stuck down at angles to the square card to add some movement to the card.

The river was glittered and glossed with STICKLES  and GLOSSY ACCENTS, plus i stickled the edges of the three round toppers and the around the oval in the picture.
