Pastel meets Black

I decided to give the Remember Stamp set a whirl in some different colours this time and used chalk inks by versamagic I wasn't sure what colour card I was going to have and at first tried the aqua mist colour as a base card but it wasn't giving me the impact I was looking for, then a piece of the aqua mist ribbom was laying on some black card so I took the design from there.

I love the fact that the Black and the aqua mist look so dramatic together.

Remembering To Thank You

A new Stamp set from PTI - Remember. I used the Cuttlebug to emboss the Swiss Dots onto the base card then layered the PTI Red card on top after adding the scalloped edge. Using white card stock I stamped the Poppies with Pure Poppy ink and added the green vines onto a seperate piece, cut ot the poppies and layered then on top of the vines I edged this card with red lines to simulate a stitched edge. I wrapped the top knotch ribbon around the card and tied into a knot.

I finished by cutting 2 circles with Nestabilities and stamping the sentiment onto the white one and added a ribbon between the layers.

Floral Punch Craft - Rhodadendrun

This one was very time consuming but I loved the end result.
It was made with the Sakura flower punch and the stamen is the Cosmos punch, the flowers were made up then using a half polystyrene ball I added the flowers one by one the trick to this is balancing the flowers as when adding one the previous one tends to drop off (great fun)
I scored the base card using the scor-pal on a diagonal and added the pearls and the ribbon to finish.

August Blog Hop - Cd Cases

This is my entry for the August Blog hop from Papertrey Ink I have to say it wasn't the easiest of challenges and I had such a hectic weekend but I wanted to partici[ate so here it is.

A simple calander I stamped the CD case with the Boxes , bags and tags by Papertrey ink with white stazon and made a little holder to adhere to the front of the case to hold a monthly calenders I googled for a 2009 mothly calendar and printed off which I mounted onto black card.

I punched 2 holes through the top of the cd case with a cropodile and slotted through some white ribbon and to finish added pearls to the center of the blossoms.
