Once Upon A Time

This is my entry into the latest challenge over at CD Sunday which is Once Upon A Time.  I immediately thought of some Studio Light decoupage sheets I had in my stash which were perfect for the challenge:

Lots of first uses on this card!  Yellow card embossed with my newest embossing folder, Floral Vine, from Crafters Companion.  Backing paper printed from Flowers and Friendship cd-rom from Katy Sue - this is the first time I've used the cd.  The die Snow White is sat on is Magic Mirror die from Crafters Companion, again its' first use, and I thought perfect as she is holding a mirror in her hand.  The lace border die, from Joanna Sheen, had its' first use, cut into linen white card.  The flowers are a Memory Box die, Seraphine Laurel, used here for the first time!  I added tiny gems to the centres of the flowers.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge - Borders and Edgers

Good Evening

This is my entry into the current challenge over at Cheery Lynn Designs which is Borders and Edgers:

I stamped this gorgeous design, Bunny Friends from Penny Black, onto Neenah card and coloured using Spectrum Noir pencils, blended with baby oil.  The image was then matted onto card from PaperMill.

I used the beautiful Ivy Corner Flourish die from Cheery Lynn to create a frame for the picture. I die cut the design into pearl card and then die cut the design again from green card.  I then placed the green die cuts into the gaps in the pearl card, leaving some of the leaves raised to frame the design.  I then matted this onto green card before adding it to an A5 card base.

I die cut the banner using a Memory box die, then printed the sentiment onto white adhesive paper so I could cut out the individual letters and add them to the banner.
