I Love You

Good morning Everyone,

Can't believe it's Monday again.  Well my mojo hasn't been too good, I'm still trying to shift this cough which unfortunately got the better of me last week and almost choked me to death on Saturday when it just wouldn't let up to let me breath.  I had coughed so much I had pain in my chest, which seriously worried me.  I think, touch wood, that I am starting to get on the mend and am returning to work today.

The theme this week is "seasonal choice" and I was thinking that in many countries they have snow and as we were approaching Valentine's Day that I would do a lovey dovey card, although personally I think you should tell your hubby/partner every day you love them and not just on Valentines Day and also to receive flowers throughout the year and not just on Valentine's Day when they quadruple in price. Little rant over, lol.

The image is by Lili of the Valley and coloured with distress inks and I have added some shabby white frantage.

The papers are from Maya Design Vintage Autumn Basics No. I and are like all Maya papers, beautiful. The edges are distressed and walnut stain ink added.

I have used the tulle, beautiful Moulin Rouge lace which compliments the papers and I thought the Lace Amour was also very appropriate for this card.

Lots of flowers, wild rose, 20mm rose, 10mm rose, kortandgodt chrysanthemum and rose buds, vintage pearl pin and a mini bark heart and of course a little of my favourite gesso.

I have used the prima resin floral heart, isn't it gorgeous and on the left is the matching corner piece.

The tag was cut from the MayaDesign Vintage Basics Heritage Diecut sheet and seambinding, string pearl and an "I Love You Postcard" charm added.

Alva Feeling

Morning Everyone,

Firstly I'd like to apologise if any of you are trying to purchase the 3D Vintage Tutorial/Class, the site is having some technical difficulties, so I hope it will all be resolved today.  If you are still having difficulties then please let me know.

I have used one of the new Bildmalarna images called Alva Feeling but all the new release images are just gorgeous.  I have coloured her with copics and pencils and layered her onto the January release Marianne Design Craftable  Die coming soon to BunnyZoe.  The paper pad is Kaisercraft 6.5" called In the Attic.  I used the Magnolia Doohickey Wrapped So Lovely to create a tag and tied with Kaisercraft lace and a little love heart charm.  The flowers are by kaisercraft and the sprawling ferns created using the Magnolia Doohickey Die.

Vintage Frost Basics

Morning Everyone,

All the decorations are down and the house looks really bare, guess we'll get used to it again, but if this year flies by as fast as last year then it will soon be time to put them back up again.

So far I have kept my promise to myself of making one christmas card a month and this is my first one for this year helped by the theme for LLC DT Girls this week which is "MayaDesign Vintage Frost Basics".  I have used 12x12 paper called 11th December. Tilda has been colourerd with DI markers and I added little wooden stars around the image painted with gesso.

The gorgeous lace is called Lace Princess Grace and is sooooooo beautiful, well all the new laces that Sandy has sourced  are , but I think this one is my new favourtie, lol.  A girl can't have enough lace.

I have used the new Janaury release Marianne Design Lampost and decorated it with roses, pine cones,  poppies and foam flowers and I have used two pins,one of them being the  new vintage pearl pin and a little touch of gesso.

On the right hand side of the card I have used a resin prima corner and also added a magnolia doohickey tag tied with shabby blue seam binding, pearls and twine and a lantern charm and another touch of gesso.

The vintage wooden birdcase is topped off with a resin love heart and you can see the beautiful lace in more detail from this picture.

I have also added a doily and a star bark heart tucked in just under the star paper.

If you missed yesterday's post the 3D Vintage Nursery Tutorial/Class has now gone live HERE,  and below is a collage to remind you of what you can make.  You don't need to be an experienced crafter to take the class, it comes with a PDF template and I'm with you every step of the way.
