Commissioned Wedding Card

Evening all,

Tonight I'm showing you the wedding card I recently made for someone at work who is getting married this Saturday 9th June.

I made this as an easel card.  I water coloured the forever friends bears (which I love) and added glitter to the vail.  I added their names on the love hearts either side of the main panel and added a couple of white flowers and a bow for the easel card to stand like it should.  The papers I used were old 'Hot of the Press' papers, which I have a stack of and finished with some pearl bling and a couple of punched butterflies matching the papers.

Thank you for stopping by. x

My first flower soft card

Good evening folks!

About time I got out of the sun and back onto my blog :)

Tonight I thought I'd share with you my first attempt at flower soft! I'm thrilled at how this turned out, I found it very theraputic (but hey card making alone is theraputic right crafters?!)

I made this card for a very good friend of mine at work and she likes it so much that she is keeping it on her desk to cheer her up on "bad" days at work. That's a nice compliment on it's own - that she likes to look at my card :) I wasn't too sure how this was going to turn out when I first started doing the wires to make the bouquet and thought this tiny little bits won't stick on and stay on - how wrong was I?! You can bend them and play about with them when they're dry and all the flower soft still stays on the wires. Love it! Here is a close up of the bouquet....

The papers I used are old 'hot of the press' papers that I've had for ages, I thought they complimented the colours of the bouquet rather well and just simply finished the card with mini punched and embossed butterflies stuck on with pinflair glue.
Thank you for taking the time and stopping to look at my work.
Love Louise x

One of my first pink phone charms/keyrings

Good evening everyone, I thought I would share with you this phone charm/keyring that I have just made for my friends birthday. I've made a couple before and they were bought off me. It's been a little while but I'm back in the swing of things:-

These make lovely wee gifts and look great hanging on the end of your phone. Let the beading commence.... Thanks for stopping by. I'd love to know what you think. x

CBGM Challenge - Stripes and Spots (My first blog challenge)

This is my first challenge I'm entering since starting my blog a couple of weeks ago. And the first one I'm entering is over on Creations by GillM - Stripes and Spots

I hope you like how I've incorporated the stripes and spots into the challenge, I wanted to try something different and also at the moment I'm trying to do more male cards! I also wanted to not only have the stripes and spots on the background papers but incorporate it into the image too, and as soon as I remembered I had this stamp I thought it was the ideal image - jazzing up my golfer :) Thanks for stopping by x
