Just a simple card. The card shape was made using the new Nestabilities Label Dies.
I cut an extra label shape in ocean tides card stock edged this with glitter I stamped the snowflake onto one of the round nestabilities then cut the next size round to layer onto I finished the card by adding a ribbon to the snowflake tag and a couple of pearls added to the stamped snowflake.

Gibson Girl - Charles Dana Gibson's Illustration

I love the drawings of Charles Dana Gibson he was an early 1900 graphic artist who was noted for the creation of the "Gibson Girl"
The base card was stamped with a flower flourish and heat embossed gold powder, the next layer is a pretty brown and gold paper which I used a fiskers threading water border punch I then tied the cream ribbon around this and tied a bow.
I cut cream and brown ovals and sprayed the brown with a gold spritz (Glimmer Mist) and finally added the image on top of this.

Heart Rose - Floral Craft

this was made with a regular sized heart punch for the petal and a regular double leaf punch.
I shaped each heart and curled them into petals 6 for the bottom layer then 5, then 3 and rolled the last on for the center I glued each petal and a round disc of card which i shaped by pressing an embossing tool into the centre, I scored the leaves to show the veins an adhered then to the bottom of the rose.
The base card is in cream then I used the birds and swirls folder to emboss the pink layer and punched corner hearts I then used the swiss dot folder on some cream card and cut a circle from this i added the rose to the top of this circle.
Layered it all together and added a pink ribbon to finish.

Brother Birthday - Stamped Tin Bth

I just love this Tin Bath Stamp (my own)I gave it another airing as it is my Brothers Birthday and although I can vaguely remember the tin bath I am sure he will have memories of it as there is 11 years difference between us.
I stamped it in black versafine ink then used my watercolours to paint it I used K&Co background paper and distressed down the edges. The sentiment is by Papertrey Ink and I used a cuttlebug ribbon slider to add it to.
