we had brilliant sunshine yesterday but today we have rain. Thank you for popping into my little bit of blog land.Your all very welcome. My friend asked me to go with her to J C Creations yesterday at Maidstone in Kent as Julia Watts was Demonstrating there from 10am till 4pm i really enjoyed it.
Julia showed lots of different techniques with texture past,mica powders & lot's more,she also used some new spellbinders dies not the Christmas die's,they haven't been realest yet,she did say they were lovely.
I was asked to make a 40th birthday card using pink & white card,this is what i came up with
I first used a 8 x 8 scallop white card base & matted pink white pink card stock all embossed with the bed of roses embossing folder from Creative Expression designed by Sue Wilson
The striplet die cut i cut at my friends awhile ago i did a marathon cutting session of her die's.
I think this is called block's again designed by our Sue.I backed them with pink card & placed them across the the card front.
I cut several Camellia closed & open one's i shaped them & curled them & glued them together
The one's on the top right of card i put smaller open petal's on top of the closed petal's.
I arranged on left hand corner some white tulle tied a pink bow on top put a small pearl embellishment arranged the flowers around added some Splendid Swirls from the
finishing touches range designed by our Sue,added two pearl stick pin's too coordinate.
I then printed a Happy 40th birthday changed the colour from black too pink cut it out with the Pierced tag die again from Sue's finishing touches range i cut one in white & topped it onto the pink.
Then on the top right corner i put some white tulle ten arranged the other flowers on top & added some leaves & small pearl's in center of flower's
on the opposite corner YES a butterfly with two pearls in center.
on the inside i used the Largest die from the Noble pierced rectangle cut it out in pink card then printed the verse onto white card i changed the colour to pink & cut out with the second die from
the ornate pierced design Noble die set.cut a small butterfly & some more small flowers.
I also made a box & decorated the front with a butterfly & some babies breath in pink.
I wrapped the card in tissue paper before putting in the box
The lady said she was very pleased with it & have another order from her for a wedding card in
August.
Thank you again for looking,if you would like to leave me a comment below i will appreciate it
