Hello crafty ones....well today one of my projects is a card for a baby shower.. Instead of pulling out my favorite stamps, inks, and embellies, I pulled out my inks, chalks, and found one of my favorite GSD files and went to work, or shall I say put my Silhouette to work cutting this card. Once its cut out, well then you see all that mesh and lattice work, all those 2 million holes need to be cleaned out..Then you can begin the fun of embellishing it the way you like.. I stayed with the soft baby colors and lightly chalked so as to give the card not only but dimension. I prefer all white card stock for these beautiful cards, and to add color either dramatically, or subtly, depending on the project. Being a baby boy card, I kept it soft....Using Memento, and Brilliance ink pads, Tattered Angels glimmer mist in Glacier, Dew drops, and stickles, I went to work on the card. Topping it off with wide organza ribbon as a closure. This will go into a box for presentation..Also able to embellish the matching box/envie...This beautiful design I purchased from Tina, who is amazing, she has more talent in her pinkie that I could ever hope to have. See does a much better job of embellishing her beautiful creations than I ever could. But I do try. WOuld you like to see more of her creations???? You can find her here at.... http://forevermemoriesforyou.co.uk/Shop/ (OR) find Tina's link in my side bar, and just click on it, it will whisk you away to her store front.
I just counted, and I have purchased 17 of her hundreds of files..I hope to some day have them all, or at least as close as I can get to that. I love working with Tina's files, they are very easy to use, and they cut beautifully. And did I tell you she has these compatable with the Wishblade, Craft Robo and SIlhouette machines. Check out her store, and prepare to be amazed and see some beautiful eye/blog candy.
Sorry it is really hard to photograph white cardstock...
It has been raining and gloomy all day here, so I decided to play the day away. Wait till you see what else I am working on....
Have a great weekend crafty ones.
I have been getting a lot of requests via email for certain things, as well as different techniques, and where I get my products from. You can leave those comments here on the blog, I will see them quicker, and will be able to respond sooner.
Also all my home town gals, it was great seeing all of again. I sent out 73 invites for the open house, and 48 of you came ready to scrap up the city. We had a blast, and I look forward to the next saturday, on June 12th, starts at 10:00 am. As always I will have what warms the soul, and satisfies the sweet tooth.lol, ya'll know what I mean.
Check back soon, as our Saturdays are going full force, and this is the only place you are going to find all the announcements and schedules...Keep dry and warm.
Hugs,
