I Love Lace with Summer Silhouettes

Hello Everyone

Today's project is using the fabulous I Love Lace background stamp. This stamp looks great in any colour and combines well with all sorts of other stamps.

Here I used Summer Silhouettes in Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.

The greeting comes from Wetlands and fits beautifully in the Large Oval and Scallop Oval layers.

Hope you like it :)

Fancy Bags with Swallowtail

Hello Everyone




Todays projects are decorated paper bags. These bags come plain white and I decided to jazz them up and make them into pretty gift bags. I used the stunning Swallowtail stamp set. It is funny, it took me ages to decide to buy it because the image is big - but since I've had it, I have used it a lot!

I stamped in Memento black ink and coloured in with Blendabilites. This image makes is to easy to get a really great vibrant effect.

Here is a close up of the colouring - do you like it? I used Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Blendabilities here.

And then I did another colour way for this one with Rich Razzleberry and Daffodil Blendabilties and Blackberry Bliss cardstock stamped with Summer Silhouettes.








I hope you like today's fancy bags and I hope the recipients will like them too.

Summer Silhouette's Inspired by Cécile

Hello Everyone

Today's project features the Summer Silhouettes stamp set. I just love this stamp set. The images are so delicate.

I decided to use the Floral Frames Framelit dies to make a simple cardholder and three little matching cards.

Here is a close up of my favourite card. A SO talented French demonstrator called Cécile Ortiz who made us laugh until our sides hurt as well as creating an amazing project, used this stamp set. She showed us how to layer up the flowers as you see below...you cut out just some of the petals. She also showed us how to make the shadows - do you see it on the leaves? I am just a beginner at this but love the effect created with the Sahara Sand marker.

And if you want to say WOW! look visit Cécile's blog here.
