Flippin' Teenagers - Pop Punk

The perfect card for the modern teenage girl.

very Avril Lavigne and a skater girl look, from her striped socks to her fur hooded coat.

I used a Basic Grey scrapbook Paper to compliment the colours and a few velvet flowers.

The back of this one is fabulous the hood really pops out,

I also think that this one looks like most modern teenage girls.

An Elegant Handbag Card

An elegant handbag card, I started with a pink base card a few score lines later I had a basic handbag shape. I then cut out the largest of the QuicKutz Cookie cutter Nesting Label and adhered it to the front of the card.

I used the Flourish Stamp from the Silent Night set by Papertrey Ink I used it with pink ink onto the white flap of the handbag and with white embossing powder onto the pink base card.

I used one of those special buttons I found in the knitting shop slotted a ribbon through the back of it then tied a bow at the back.

If I get enough interest in the handbag I will do a tutorial.

Attention to detail the flowers were white, I painted on the colour using the same pink ink that I had used to stamp the flourish with.

QuicKutz Nesting Label card

Cuttlebugged card using the distressed stripes A2 folder on the base card some pretty papers down the side edged with Martha Stewart border Punches, shapes are die cut using the QuicKutz Cookie Cutter Nesting Labels (not quite Nestabilities).

The Floral stamp is a Penny Black stamp heat embossed with white detail powder, all wrapped together with a pretty ribbon and a few pearls.

So this is the shapes I used QuickKutz Cookie Cutter Nesting Label

Priced around the £16.99 mark and works in the cuttlebug.

Antique Bronze Pendant

This is the second pendant I have made with the Rubberstamp Tapestry stamps this time it was made with the Poinsettia Wreath Set and Encore Bronze ink pad for the flowers and Versa Color ink pad for the foliage.

the card was cut into an oval then stamped and added to inserted into the pendant, I added the toggle fastener to the chain and a filigree dangle onto the pendant with jump rings. I used Judkins diamond glaze over the top of the stamped image to fill the pendant, once this had dried clear I added a thin line of the same glaze around the image and them dipped into bedazzles for some bling.

Wild Orchids

A Tuesday Lunch time stroll with Jim Harker the artist that I work at La Pashe with.

Jim know me well after 2 years working together. We can often be found talking a stroll around the block on our morning and afternoon break times, it clears our heads and gives our eyes a rest from the close up work that we do.

Tuesday Lunch time we took a short car journey to a spot Jim had found whilst walking his canine friend (Scamp) and had found some wild Orchids.

with camera in hand I managed to capture a few of these beauties to show you all.

I looked up the name of these and they are Dactylorhiza praetermissa - Southern Marsh orchids and are protected so I won't say where we found them, I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as we did in the finding of them.

A close up shot

Unbelieveable that these are growing wild

Manhattan Rose

The Manhattan Rose Stampin Up embossing Die and the cuttlebug swiss dots was used to make this quick card.

The base card was embossed with the swiss dots folder, then on a separate piece of white card the rose was embossed and cut out, a ribbon tied in a bow around the base card and the Manhattan Rose adhered on top.

Two pearls were add to the roses to finish.
