Black and White

 Hi again,

Been a few days but hope you like this card. I have really been into Black and White for awhile now so enjoyed doing this simple one.
Using Spellbinders Floral Doily Accents and Motifs I cut and embossed all elements in both black and white. To make up the medallion I chose alternative colour elements, but not using all I had cut. The border and corners I placed directly on a 6" square card base before centreing the made medallion.

I hope the second photo shows the medallion more clearly.

As I had cut all elements in both colours I also made a similar card White on Black.

Card for my Grand-daughter

 Hi everyone
After talking to a customer the other week I decided I should start showing some of the cards I make.I have been busy since Christmas, trying to get infront with Birthday and anniversary cards so I can make an early start on Christmas, you may therefore see a mix as I'll post as I make them and when I have time.

This one is for my grand-daughters 9th Birthday. I used Spellbinder dies for matting and layering and the image and cupcakes are from a My Craft Studio CD. I also used two widths of organza ribbon down the side tying a short piece around the narrower one then sticking the three individual cupcakes lower down. The cupcake boarder is smaller cupcakes made into a boarder on MCS. The text plate is again a Spellbinder, although the text does not show very clearly on the picture, I inked the edges of the text plate and image topper picking out a colour from the image. Buttons were added as another embellishment. Would love to hear your comments.
                         Hope to see you tomorrow Jean x

New Grand Alphabet

When the new dies came in we were asked to try some of them out.

Here's my samples of the Grand Alphabet, although it's a grand die each letter is individual so can be used independantly in your small die cutting machines.

WOW more fantastic faux porcelain flowers

Saturday brought my second faux porcelain flowers

 class of the week

 

There were only 3 ladies at this class but that didnot stop us having a great day. All of them have been to my other paper flower classes and this one rounded the set off beautifully with fantastic results.

All the ladies appeared to have lots of fun learning this technique.

fantastic job.
