Yes... another one

Heres another.... thought I would go for something a bit more contemporary. The card stock and the papers are from Craftwork Cards.

And some more

Again the Xmas papers are from the fab stash that Tassy sent to me... the plainer papers are from hot of the press. The Xmas trees are made from gold wrapping paper... cut into 3 triangles each a different size.... then creased and layered on top of one another. (The inspiration for this was from fellow crafter Deanne. I hope you don't mind hun!!)

And some more

The snowmen and penguin cards I have put together with more freebie papers. The one with the green ribbon, the paper I received from fellow crafter, Tassy..The ribbon is from a chocolate box given to me at work.... Nothing gets wasted... lol!!!

Yippee I have managed to do some crafting

These cards I have made using lots of freebie papers. The snowmen and penguins are whipper snapper stamps that my good friend Fe Fe loaned to me.
The little pink and green beads on the first 2 cards are compliments of Tassy.
The images were coloured using a mix of Twinkling H20s and watercolour pencils.
The ice on the penguin cards I have 3d glazed as done on the circular frame on the 1st snowman card.

This card I made with card stock and papers from craftwork cards.. the ribbon flowers are just bits of ribbon tied to look flowery. in the center I have attached with some funky brads. The handle I have threaded with black ribbon.
I am definitely out of my comfort zone with these colours.! NO GLUE, everything is attached with brads.

"Querida Mae"

A friend at me to make a card for her mums birthday. My friend and her family are Portuguese. "Querida Mae" is Portuguese for, roughly translated "lovely mum."
Matilde likes things such as "JEAN PAUL GAULTIER" perfume, so I took my inspiration from one of his perfume bottles.

To do this I used my bodice template as the basic shape and fashioned it to look like a bottle. I then gave it first a cherry sorbet twinkling H20 wash then the Icy Iris twinkling H20 to add a little shading. The butterflies are a stamp from "Crafty Individuals".I used Royal purple stayzon ink. I added some extra colour using Icy Iris/Cherry Sorbet/Sea Glass/Sage & Olive Vine Twinkling H20s.I stuck them on the bottle shape but left the centre butterfly 3D. The background paper is from the lovely Tassy... I had no idea that this perfect match was in the stash that Tassy sent to me... as you can see it is the exact same butterfly, because the paper is also by "Crafty Individuals"...how flukey is that!I layered with some dark purple faintly scripted paper, added 2 butterflies with 3D foam pads... The lettering are just silver peel offs (I also used peel offs to give the bottle neck effect.)funky fibres as a finishing touch.
